Prance, they say, like England and the United States, should possess fleets of sufficient magnitude to voice France's high place mong the les of the earth. M. ;erennr calls it a "vhneur{: place. ‘To M. Berenger it would an un- pardonable error to think that a United States of Europe could be envisaged now as in the days of Talleyrand or Metternich. He stresses a belief that Prance has undergone formidable evo- lution since 1870, and especially since | that Prence is and must be a great| “She is no longer a European nation,” he declared, “but a planetary nation.” And then the former Ambassador goes on to bring out forcibly what many | Frenchmen are just commencing to re- | member, that France is a nation of j‘oo,ooo,m people. There are 40,000,000 n the French mainland and 60,000,000 in the colonies or other oversea pos- sessions. “Europe,” he says, “1s no longer the vital center of the earth, as in 1815 and 11871, Europe may be to be one of two centers of an ellipse. The other | center is the United States of America.” Foresees Two Policies. M. Berenger foresees but two policies | for the future, one of the Atlantic and | the other of the Pacific. “Remember,” he says, “that in these days oceans do not separate but actu- ally unite the various continents. Be- ware of copying the ostrich which stuck his head in the sand and thought nobody could see him. In seeking to| consolidate peace by creating a !‘u-‘ ropean confederation we are risking ! new conflicts based on continental im- perialism.” M. Berenger admits that much may be done through the elimination of Europe’s linguistic, ethnic and historical hostilities, but urges France to be inter- continental and planétary. And a sult- able navy, he believes, is the reason able expression of this international position. People who know will tell you that this attitude will be expressed by the French delegation to the London naval conference.

Works arc now being planned in detail. Good relations between the Iberian nations are the work of the milit dictatorships in both countries, and place centuries of suspicion and rivals Hostility was manifest as recently as 1926, partly because monarchical Spain viewed with alarm the republicanism cf her neighbor. To prevent the spread of revolutionary and democratic ideas Spain had permitted Portuguese roy- alists to scheme and plot on Spanish | soil against the republic and even to | organize an armed invasion of the Por- tuguese province of Braganza. The | success of the Lisbon government in crushing this attempt further antag- onized the two countries. | In May, 1926, however, the coup | dretat of Gen. Gomez da Costa allayed Soanish fears of republicanism and the | success with which the Portuguese gov- ernment has maintained its position | and effected economic reforms since then has won the esteem of Madrid. From that time the two nations have | steadily worked together, both in their | own affairs and in foreign relations. | After having been rivals for cen- turies in high deeds of discovery and colonization, then estranged during long years of depression and internal strife when these sister people of the peni sula seemed sinking, sinking, Spain and Portugal, under the leadership of determined but far from tyrannous mil- | itary dictators, are rapidly regaining | their place in history. TIheir Latin | characteristics of resiliency and bril- | liancy give promise that recovery will be rapid, and, indeed, the progress made by Spain as testified in the great exhi- bitions at Seville and Barcelona is as- tonishing enough. The exhibitions, however, are only a surface manifestation such as the m- | provements in railways and roads in both Spain and Portugal are. Far more important happerings are the funda- mental changes in the relations between the two governments destined to alter the national outlook of both Spaniards and Portuguese if the fruit expected ripens. It will be a great change. g T e Portugal, open to invasion from th~| Argentina produced about 48,500,000 with no natural frontiers on thz . | pounds of cotton last scason. MRS. CHARLES LOOMIS BOOTH.
