Veto Power Elimination of the veto by the larger powers In the United Nations, establishment of a good working international federation in Europe which will becorae a united states of Europe and division of Europe into workable units and the world into six regions, were measures advocated by Felix, the arch duke of Austria, at the Knife and Fork ekib dinner last . night. The six regions suggested: were the Pan American, Great Britain, Europe, Russia, Middle East and Asia. When it was brought out in questions that Africa was not In cluded, the speaker said African people with the exception of Egypt and Ethopia were not independent to'speak for themselves and when such time came Africa might be come a seventh region. This set up, he said would be based upon something more than just victorious nations. The- speed and accuracy with which the Pan American union function was cited as aflnexample of wha such regional governments might ac complish. Language Barrier " Regarding the language barrier in Europe the "speaker countered with Switzerland, the only place in Europe where the plan he fav ored is used. Three languages are spoken in Switzerland but the peo ple, are represented in , theirs gov ernment just as each of the 48 states in the United States are represented in ;the national con gress. A jSwiss pever says he be longs toShe minority party when identifying the section to which he belongs, but -rather states be is French Swiss, German Swiss or Italian Swiss3.be speaker said., Such an organization would give security from the outside similar to the security Canada enjoys from the United States or the United States from Canada. On the contrary it was cited, that in Europe under the old system small nations were in danger of attack from larger powers, a dan ger which one of the 48 states, as Maine-, would, not suffer at the hands of Canada. The archduke closed his talk with the statement that the peace must be a Christian peace for "otherwise we might just as well hunt a nice safe cave in Jrour mountains." s y j Food Situation ! The food situation in Austria ! was brought out through a que- . tion by the Rev. Dudley Strain. Food from the United States ;will encourage and remind the people j of democracy and it need not be I made a conditional gift to obtain ' that, the speaker said. Austrians do not mind that Americans have j lots of food, only when that iood is wasted, he ' said. Russia does not bother to give food to those countries where elec tions have already shown the peo ple do not favor communism he said. Russian troops are living off Austria and in the year they have been there have taken approxi mately one fifth" of its wealthy the people are forced to live on 1,000 calories a day and Russia uses any Too Late to Oassiff III , f 2 ! y if - j FOR SALE: baTeno.

The "good neighbor policy" which former President Franklin D. Roosevelt and former Secretary of State Cordell Hull helped draft, the president asserted, laid the "solid foundations for a good neighbor policy for th whole world."

Now. however, he said, the United Nations Is embarked on a career based on those foundations, and he added: , "It must succeed. I know It will uvceed."

Tom Cain, 1245 N. Liberty st.. the watchman, told police that the robber told him to keep his hands in front of him and walk straight ahead and up some stairs to a small room.
