In the absence from the city of Sec- retary Stimson and Undersecretary | Cotton, the diplomat discussed the pro- 1 with J. Theodore Marriner, chief | of the Western European division of the department. He will confer with Sec- | retary Stimson early in the week. Await Full Text. Official circles were awaiting with in- terest last night the publication today, in Paris, of the official text of the | memorandum which is being sent to the United States by mail. Henry explained to the department, however, that from the preliminary outline of the memorandum of the plan, he was convinced the project was not | directed against the United States in any way. The proposed union would work parallel to the League of Nations, he explainer to Marriner, and would be designed to pursue a co-operative course with the Geneva body. Its main function would be economic, he said, but it also would be directed toward creating something of a “moral influence” politically. American View Withheld. ‘The official reaction of the American QGovernment to the proposal has been withheld ever since it first was ad- wvanced last September, when 26 Euro- an nations were asked to consider formation of & union under a reglonal pact of considerable extent. Much is expected to hinge, so far as American reaction is concerned, on whether Great Britain is to be a party, whether the British colonies and do- minions will be included in the union. The principal argument in favor of the work of such a continental union is that it would strengthen the eco- nomic relations of the powers them- selves and thus place them in a more favorable ition as far as trade inter- course with America was concerned. MUSIC Tehernikoff-Gardiner Recital. One of the most interesting dance p of the year was offered Friday t at the Wardman Park Theater by the Tchernikoff-Gardiner Dancers. Combining the often amazing talent of extreme youth with the more adult manifestations of professionalism, there ‘was much freshness of detail and ripe- ness of e; n. Lisa Gardiner and Paul Tchernikoff have initiated their pupils into the spirit of the German modernistic dance, which is at least a league or more ahead of its cotemporaries.
