Staff Writer) | PARIS, May 28.—A feaeration ul} European states, supported by head | taxes upon visiting Amerieans.and other non-Europeans, has been pul | into eoncrete form and submitted to all European governments by Count R. N. Coudenhove-Kalergi, president of the Pan-European Un- ion of Vienna. It is offered as basis for discus sing the European union idea ri cently evcived by Aristide Briand, foreign minister of France M. Briand is procceding with his plan by collecting suggestions from the various governments under author- ity of the League of Nations, the count’s scheme being entirely un- official. Abolition of war through disarm- ament and the elimination of the! political and economic friction are given as the underlying principles | of the proposed pact. { In general the idea is to estab- | lish a governing council with al chancellor, treasurer and variou secretaries as active executives. There would be a legislative assem- bly with membership alloted ac- cording to comparative populations of participating stales, and a su: preme court of three chambers of five judges each, selected by the as- sembly and irremovable. This court would enforce fed-| eration laws and decide disputes be- | tween member states. Disputes with | nations outside of the new leaguc‘ would be referred to the League of Nations or the Permanent Court of International Justice at The Hague. | While the federation would pledged to disarmament and it members would guarantee to re- spect the covenant of the League of Nations and the Kellogg pact for renunciation of war, the count’s’ draft would also unite the military of Europe. Members | would regard an attack upon one of them as an attack upon their) own territory and would * undenakm to protect the attacked federaw member by political, economic and | military means.” The ptoposed “Federated States (Continued on Pagc EJght) @8 TAILOR’S HEAD GEAR J SAVES TURKISH CROP ‘Mal:r-s Salt in N.

Then the | tailor of Kozan, one Djemal Effen-|staved off by fez-turbans wmcthattery to make salt for Gandhi.} di, concocted a cross between a fez and a turban. the two types of headgear which the Kemalist gov- ¢rnment has outlawed. When he had made fourteen of' - these, the tailor clapped one on his own head and distributed the oth- ers among thirteen villagers. Each man astride a camel, the proces- sion solemnly rode to the fields and prayed for rain. Two hours| later it poured. ‘The tailor, realizing he had struck a gold mine, announced the an- nual grasshopper plague could- be | could be procured for two measures ‘ol wheat ea:h. | Then the republic's gengarmerie | got wind of the business artd hauled him to a cell. ‘ |Archduke Otto May Emanuel, who is sixteen, was men- |uoned.
