BRIAND EUROPEAN UNION ACTION NOW IS DOUBTFUL Meeting at Geneva This Week . to Study ' Plan Expected to Make Limited Decisions. - BY PAUL SCOTT MOWER. ARIS.—The committee -ppolm.ed by the- League of Nations last September to study and draw up & plan for a European union as formally - proj at that time Foreign Minister - Aristide Briand of France meets at Geneva January 16. The event is awaited with great curiosity throughout Europe and will - doubtless be closely followed by American diplomatic observers. Adversaries ‘of the project are still scoffing. Nothing, they say, can ever come of it. Its supporters, however, are far from discouraged. They will be satisfied in the present difficult circum- stances if they can keep it alive. For the moment they expect little or noth- ing. It is on the future thll their confidence is M. Briand thought and n.m thinks that Ew sooner or later must get together, politically and ecnomi- €ally, or perish. He believes that this a ulf—ev!d!nt truth and is bound to fmpose itself in the long run. Benes, Picks 1945 Date. Eduard Benes, foreign minister of Czechoslovakia, thinks that the propi- tious time will be about 1945, that is 0:' say, one generation after the World ar. In any case, the committee, when it meets, will include at least 13 foreign ministers, presided over by M. Briand, and assisted, in the absence in Latin America of Sir Eric Drummond, per- manent secretary of the League, by J. L. M. C. Avenol, assistant secretary, who is PFrench. M. Briand's original plan, it will be recalled, as presented in his historic memorandum, was to form a union out- side the League of Nations and give po- litical considerations precedence over economic. His idea was that the League, being universal, would be unable to deal rly. with strictly European prob- lems and that inasmuch as every one mwu that the main obstacles to eco- nomic agreements are political rivalries and ambitions, it would be logical to gr{“w settle the political differences Incidentally, tlers, M. Brian uarrels over the fron- thinks, would simply cease to exist in a properly constituted European ‘union because exact demar- cations between countries would no longer be important. What he seems to have had in mind ultimately was a pean customs union made possible by an agreement for mutual aid against possible aggression. v Three Opposing Sources. Briand's plan, however, has met tion from three strong sources: permanent officials of the League of Nations, who have felt that reali- Treatly vedken ine Leaguc and. iis greatly en e an world-wide ideals: second, Great Bri- tain, which is neither quite in nor quite out of European affairs, and, in any case, is alarmed at the idea of a con- fl.nenhl union, and, third, revisionist like Germany, Hungary and lnly which might ultimately welcome 2 union, but only after the frontiers have been revised in their favor. Despite this opposition, the Briand plan was present meeting of the Study Commit- tee represents the next step. Nothing has occurred since September to modify the opposition. League officials are still unenthusiastic, the revisionist states are more insistent than ever on frontier revision, and Great Britain's position following the failure of the imperial conference remains unchanged. M. Briand’s political adversaries, who are more and more numerous in France, are, therefore, loudly pro- in principle and the | Europe as that of today a union is obviously impossible. To L Briand’s fundamental truth that Europe must either get together or perish together is now plainer than ever. Briand'Is Conciliatory. M. nmnd has no desire, he inti- , he says, was made in the common interest and he is delighted that suggestions should come from other states. He has fully accepted, for within the League of Nations and that H‘DM to beli e seems leve that a good point of departure in the present circum- stances would be discussion of methods for meeting the present business crisis. What he wants is to keep his project whatever small of the situation is that everything depends upon France and Germany. If these two most powerful states on the continent could agree, most of the other continental states would more or less be obliged to follow. In a recent memorandum, Germany has Munud its desire that Russia and Turkey be admitted to the committee and that ‘whatever the committee now does be regarded as strictly preliminary. Ger- many’s intention, the London Daily Telegraph thinks, is to state plainly at this time that there can be no union without treaty revision. Confers With Germans. Briand seems to have discussed l.lu quut!on with the German Ambas- to London, Von Hoesch, Decem- ber 31. The Germans are believed to have hinted that they are favorable to the union and would work on it with the Prench if the French would sup- port them in the questions of revision and disarmament. M. Briand is be- lieved !o have replied that this is im- in the preunz agitated condi- Burvpe in general lnfl of particular. tion of Germany in Such being the circumstances, m«u- iake much Drogress, merely postponing much progress, mer the main issues to a later time. Mr. Benes, whose llr~see|.n| views on Euro- pean affairs have won him widespread respect in the last 10 years, has just set forth four reasons why he thinks a nxrope-.n union now is premature: ‘The lack of economic balance, whlle theoretically tending toward a ly acts mznly to in- iries and struggles.

ESS than two weeks ago a group of economists, sociologists and public officials gathered in Cleve- land in connection with the con- vention of the American Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Science.

Census Flgures Show Hawaiian Race Increase One of the statements often made in mainland United States as fact, and in- deed often repeated in Hawail as fact, is that the Hawalian race is “dying out.” A favorite assertion is that the coming of the white man has killed off the na- tive Polynesians. But the latest statis- tics, compiled in Washington by the United States commissioner of labor statistics, indicate that the Hawaiian is increasing rapidly. It Il true that the pure-blood Haw: is disappear- ing, though the process is slow. But the rt Hawalian is ine 50 rapidly that the total number of per- sons wlth Hawalian blood in their veins | is nndlly growing. Tendency to inter- with persons of other races has been strong since the first white men came to the islands, and today Ha- walian blood is mixed with Caucasian and Oriental alike. Some of the finest results have come from the mingling of Hawailan and Asian blood, which bflnn to mind the theory that the Ha- alians came originally from Asia. Of- ficially, there is precedent for classify- ing part Hawailans as Hawaiians, be- cause the Hawalian homestead act per- mits persons of part Hawaiian blood to take up lands that are refused to per- sons with no Hawalfan blood. So the fiction that the Hawaiian is “dying out” 115 easily scotched by examination 0( the facts, though in a few more | tions it will be difficult to find a pure~ blood Hawalian.

HE following is & brief summary of the most important news of the world for the seven days ended January 10, 1931: GREAT BRITAIN.—Some 4,000 weav- ers in 10 mills in the Lancashire cotton district having struck (tentatively) in protest against introduction of the more-looms-per-weaver system, the cot- ton magnates have threatened a gen- eral lockout, to involve perhaps 500- 000 workers should the strike spread. There is no doubt that the automatic machinery “in general use in the United States and Japan™ permits op- eration of 8 to 10 looms with scarcely more physical effort than is required to operate four of the old-fashioned looms. The issue involved in the proposed ization is the immemorial one. Negotiations continue looking to set- tlement of the strike in process in the South Wales coal fields involving about 150,000 miners. There has seemed some danger of spread of the strike to the Warwickshire ares, but the esent auspices seem favorable to a sef ent. A strike is threatened in the boot and shoe industry, to involve about 120,000 workers. The workers demand increases of the minimum weekly wage from the equivalent of $14 to $15. The operators demand reduction to $13. It is thought that the destroyer flo- tilla leader Codrington, recently com- pleted, is the fastest war vessel in the world. In a test she averaged 36.8 knots over four hours and at times made two knots better, all without crowding and though designed for a speed of only 35 knots. French and Italian destroyers have made better than 40 knots, but under crowding. Italy is said to have four cruisers capa- ble of a trifie over 40 knots under su- preme pressure. This is the 200th year since the birth of Erasmus Darwin. He was memorable for two things—as the grandfather of Charles Darwin and as the author of “The Botanic Garden,” which, fantas- tically enough, furnished ingredients to the crucible from which emerged “The Ancient Mariner.” The second part of “The Botanic Garden™” was most amus- ingly parodied by Canning in the “Ants-Jacobin.” Anything that sensibly cmtflb\l'.ed toward “The Ancient Mari- ner” or challenged the comic muse of Canning is memmbh * * mANCl—mnhlll Joseph Jacques Cesaire Joffre died on January 3.

He was an excellent mathematician, a skiliful engineer, a ‘very able organizer, and a firm and effi- clent disciplinarian without being a martinet. He had resolution and poise of & very high order. The French army owed a great deal to him by way of or- ganization, education and morale. Like most of the other French commapders of the great war, he had profi by col experiences.

In 1929 he flew with De Pinedo to Russia, the same Pinedo who in 1927 blazed the trail to South America just retraversed. He has been trainer and manager of Italian Schnei- der Cup teams. Gen.

THE THREE D’S BY BRUCE BARTON e .....wv HERE have been many serious conferences in this year of tough busi- ness, and recently I attended one of them. The problem was whether a certain industry, which was encountering difficulties could be kept going. Three men spoke; their remarks were about as follows: First man: Conditions are much worse than anybody is willing to admit. Car load- ings are off; steel production is flat; the automobile in- dustry is on its back; every business barometer points down. You can argue that the country has faced the same situation before and has come through. But this is different. Now America is a world power, dependent on world markets. Whereever you look in the world you see nothing but trouble. I think that any enterprise which is losing money ought to be stopped. We are not justified in taking chances. Second man: I wouldn't go as far as the first speaker. Things are undeniably bad and may get worse, but I do not think we are justified in assuming that the world is going busted. What we need is plenty of time to get all the facts and talk them over and be sure we are right. I sug- gest we appoint a committee, and then we can meet again in a couple of weeks and have another conference. ‘Third man: I disagree with everything t!ut has been oea !! said. This depression isn't different from a hundred others that have preceded it. Always tgeople lose hope just when e turn is about to come. Always it is argued that “conditions this time are different.” I do not see that we shall gain nn{thing by ap- inting commiittees or de- aying action. What we need is not more facts but more guts. I am in favor of §oing to work right now to pull this business through. Men divide themselves into different classifications which are called by various names. There are the optimists who are consistently hopeful and the pessimists who always fear the worst. There are what the psy- chologists term the “intro- verts,” those whose eyes are turned inward, the brooders, the hypocondriacs, the mystics; and the “extraverts,” whose vision is outward and forward. In good days it is not so easy to distinguish, but these past few months have been a testing time. They have divided all men into three great groups: ‘The Defeatists—who say conditions are different; lt can’t be done. The Debaters—who say, let us appoint a commission and adjourn until another time. The -who say, let us pick out the toughest problem and hit it first. Each of us falls into one or the other of these groups. In which one are you? . (Copy right, 1931.) - | “AM I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER?” S QUESTION IS BEING AN.
