BRAND FEELS 0T EURDPEUNION DEA French Premier Takes Lead! to Form Trade Organiza- tion of All Continent. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Ster and Chicage Daily PARIS, August 3.—The return of Aristide Briand to the premiership of | France, places at the head of the gov- | ernment a statesman whose avowed ambition is to take the lead in the cre- ation of a United States of Europe, M. Briand has been all his life in polities. Far from being a theorist or. | in a derogatory sense of the word, an | idealist, he is one of the most practical politicians alive, For several years he has been mediating this project, but the fact that he considers that the time is now come was revealed in these dispatches only a few weeks ago. | He was then merely foreign minister. He is now premier and in a stronger ! position than ever to carry out his plan. Since last November he has | been seizing every opportunity to sound out the responsible statesmen of Europe as to how they would re- gard an invitation to attend a pan- | Furopean congress to study ways and meanz of ‘economic rapprochement of | 21l European countries. Most Countries Accept. His dream is that even a political union may some day be formed, but | for the present he recognizes that an economic union or even a special eeo- nomic arrangement of some sort is the most that can be hoped for.

Italy, it is believed, will | finally consent to attend and much persussion is being used with the | British Labor government to get it at | least to_consent to participate in the ; discussiods. M. Briand himself will represent France at the Young plan conference ! which opens at The Hague, according to present schedules, next Tuesday. ‘There he will continue his private con- | versations witit European statesmen re- . garding his pet scheme. Assuming that | the Young pian conference succeeds. as | he feels it certainly must, the way will then be prepared, he thinks, for a form- al declaration by himself in the name of | Prance at the League of Nations as- | tembly in Geneva tm September. In this he will state his ideas and ssk the League to approve the project. The next step would Be.the pan-Furcpean conference to be held if possible befare the end of the present year. M. Briand is far from desiring to im- | pose on this confezence a definite pro- gram. He believes tae conference shuud make its own program. He considers, however, that there must be complete equality of all nations, large or small, within the proposed entente which, if successfully organized. might resemble for the time being the Pan-American Union.

It is known., however, that he has been in fairly close relationship with the best speech, vocal and instrumental music with unbe- lievable accuracy—so lifelike that it will startle you. C .

Briand honorary president, Since M. Briand's plans for carnying the pan-American theory into the field of practical statecraft recently were re- + vealed to the public, there has heen a vigorous discussion pro and con through- out Europe and Kalergi has been mak- | ing numerous statements. writing nu- | merous articles, cleaning up misunder- | standings, refuting objections and es- pecially begging the Germanic peoples to trust M. Briand's complete sincerity. Frenchmen and Germans, he says, have | dreamed for centuries of a united Eu- fope. Sully. Rousseau, Napoleon, Victor Hugo, Leibnitz, Kant, Wieland, Novalis, Nietzsche, were all Europeans, says Kalergl. What he understands by pan- Europe is a voluntary community of independent nations uniting 300,000,000 consumers into one market, in which no one nation would have hegemony, either political or economic. ‘The neuclues, he thinks—and many | agree with him—should be a Franco- , German entente, which is, indeed, al- ready begun by the alllance of the French and German steel, potash and chemical industries, and which should be greatly facilitated politically if the Young plan conference succeeds. The Franco-German entente, he reasons, ( would bring in almost automatically Belgium, Austria, Poland. Cgzechoslo- | vakia, Rumania and Jugoslavia. Britain Not Essential. Britain could join if it liked, but it ! would not be essential. ’ Generally speaking, nationalistic par- ties throughout Europe oppose and mock this plan, while the Liberal and left parties approve most enthusiasti- | cally. Points especially to be adduced | in its favor are that it would give Eu- | rope a greater prosperity, by joining it into one great protected market like the United States, that it would pro- mote peace and would enable Europe to defend itself successfully against the ! economic and financial power of the United States. ' M. Briand, Kalergi and all_other leaglers keep repeating that pan-Europe would in no sense be directed aggres- " sively against the United States, against , Russia or against Great Britain, if Britain refuses to join: yet certainly the fear of the United States,’ supposed Koliey of shutting others out of its . home market while invading thejrs, is the one big motive of the promoters, ‘Theoretically, the world is moving toward a situation in which there would be three chief economic entities, the United States of America, the British Empire and the United States of Europe. From theory. however, to realization seems still a lJong way, even with a practical man like M. Briand , working for it.
