Stewart, in an article for the United Press association to- day from London, states that the na- tions of Europe will line up in four groups after the war. This is the English guess, made by excellently informed officials. Mr. Stewart’s article in part is as follows: The English never expect to see the ‘““United States of Europe,” so much talked about in Norway, Swed- en, Denmark and Holland. There are too many kinds of people in Eu- rope and the different kinds are too different to federate, the English say. Of course there are plenty of Eng- lish dissenters from the opinion that this four-group lineup will follow the war. It is a theory, however, held by first-class judges, and seems to come nearer to having a plurality of supporters than any other one. Roughly, the four groups will con- sist of: 1. England, Franse, Italy. 2. The Germanic nations. 3. The Scandinavian countries— Sweden, Norway and Denmark. 4. The Balkan states. No. 1, it will be seen, is the pres- ent entente lineup. The English opinion is that Italy, originally al- lied with Germany and Austria-Hun- gary but now on the entente’s side, will stay on the latter side. Some pessimists predict that the war’s end will not find England and Russia on good terms, but this isn’t the gen- eral view. As to what Germany and Austria- Hungary will or will not gain or lose as a result of the war, there are no end of different predictions. To choose between them is unnecessary —suffice to say that the English don’t expect the Germans to be actually exterminated or their country parti- tioned in its entirety. It is conceded that there will still be a Germany. That any Austria-Hungary will be left, however, as an individual coun- try, or rather dual-country, is not so readily conceded. Plenty of peo- ple believe Austria-Hungary will be merged in Germany by the time the peace settlement has been agreed on. This would leave the Germanic people not exactly in a group but one single country, with Austria- Hungary as one or several of its states. The get-together tendency in Scan- dinavia has been noticeable for some time. There is a’good deal of jeal- ousy between Sweden and Denmark but it is not more than skin-deep. One thing will ‘have to be settled— Denmark is strongly anti-German be- cause she fears Germany, Norway is somewhat pro-English and yet afraid of Russia, and Sweden is so extremely afraid of Russia as to be decidedly pro-German. The theory is that Russia will fur- nish satisfactory insurance against aggression by the czar across the ex- tremely northern end of the Scan- dinavian peninsula. This would change Sweden’s feelings entirely, Temove a certain. amount of worry in Norway and leave nothing in the way of what should prove a desirable combination—a federation, almost. The British idea is that there can’t be the right sort of a situation in the Balkans until the Turks have been transferred across the Bosphorus into Asia Minor. This having been accomplished, it is believed here that the Balkan people will be able to set- tle down peacefully together and maybe, in the end, get together, as different states, under one central government. Spain; Portugal and Holland don’t seem to fit‘compactly into any com- bination. = For international political reasons: they would: naturally all be more or less pro—the present allies, however. Russia and basis after the war. The Dardanelles presumably-will be opened, giving Russia a warm wa- ter outlet from the Black Sea, which, by the way, would remove the reason for the czar to want—as the Swedes and Norwegians believe he does-want —northern Sweden and Norway, 80 as to get an ice-free port on the, North Atlantic. Even such of these groups as do not amount to federations will be much more tightly tied together than by any treaty in the past ,if this fore- cast is correct—they will be offensive and defensive combinations and trade conlitions will be provided for with a view to bringing their members |commercially very close together. STATE-WIDE PROJECT. Exponents of every business indus- try in Bemidji attended the third an- nual banquet of the Bemidji Mer- chants association given at the Mark- ham hotel last evening. They gath- ered to talk ‘“‘shop” and to become acquainted with the state’s chief ex- ecutive, Governor J. A. A. Burnquist. In an able address Governor Burn- quist mentioned the beautiful tract, ing the city of Bemidji and suggest- ed the consideration of the advis- {been inaugurated -and it is highly of virgin pine that remains adjoin- |iposition-<book - for -a ~dime. tions the Minnesota, forests ofi thej past. - The people of Bemidji, we feel sure, earnestly hope that such an action will be taken by the’'state‘and- will do all in their power to assist the state.in this matter. - This is not. alone a. local -proposition but is .a state-wide project.

They should desire and they do need a system modeled after the Swiss or the Australian plan. The Swiss sys- tem is intensely democratic.
