'U. S.' OF ARABIA
AIM OF BRITAIN
TO CHECK ITALY
Move Promoted to Halt
Further Expansion of Italy
in Red Sea Region
French See Background
BT EDWARD KENNEDY
(Associated Press Foreign Staff.
PARIS. April 15. ypi a proposal
for a "United States of Arabia," na
tionalist sources said today, is being
promoted by Britain in an effort to
align the Arabs against any further
Italian expansion In the Bed Sen
region.
The dream of an Arabian empire,
composed of most of the kingdoms,
mandated territories and protector
ates forming the Arabian penntsula.
was believed by many nationalists to
be moving rapidly toward fulfillment.
French See RaMs.
The Paris newspaper, Le Journal,
asking what was behind the move
ment for Arab unity, said:
"The Idea comes naturally that Eng
land, after taking advantage of di
vision of Arabs In the past, deems
It opportune to unite them at a time
when Italy has shown Itself stronger
than London believed.
"It Is certain that If the Italians
complete their triumph In Ethiopia,
their activity In the Red Sea will
expand."
The vision of Arab unionists, as ex
pressed by nationalists, was one of a
loose confederation, virtually free
from European domination, and with
the units retaining their own rulers
and governments.
Signs Favorable.
Favorable signs were seen In recent
events demonstrations of greater
unity among the Arabs, lessening of
friction between Moslems and Chris
tians, and a disposition on the part
of European powers to wtlhdraw to
some extent from the Levant.
The proposed United States of
Arabia would have a population of
almost 10,000,000 and an area of more
than 1,000,000 square miles, about
half of it desert, on the peninsula
across the Red Sea from East Africa,
scene of Italy's campaign of conquest.
The empire envisioned by Arab pa
triots probably would Include Syria,
the Lebanon Republics, the Arabian
Sud an lan kingdom (formerly Hejaz
and Nejd), the kingdom of Iraq, the
Imam ate of Yemen, the sultanate of
Kuweit, the sultanate of Oman and
poslbly Transjordan, mandated to
Britain, and Aden, British protector
ate. The Inclusion of Palestine, also at
present under British mandate, Is re
gnrded as lew likely.
San Francisco, Unafraid of Quakes, .
Observes 30th Anniversary of Tire'
Rt em Jackson
SAN FRANCISCO A city un-
arr&ld of earthquake but aim jittery
about flrea will pauae April 18 to re
member a day 30 years ago when both
catastrophes struck at once, taxing
between 500 and 600 Urea and wreak
log damage of 1390,000,000.
San Franciscans have been aocuaed
of referring to the tragedy of 1006 aa
a "fire" Instead of & quake because
of a false aeiue of pride a, refusal
to recognise Californla'a ever present
earthquake threat. But to 300.000 ref
ugees who camped In parka and
streets for three days while the
flames roared, the disaster waa pri
marily a "fire.M
The earth Jolt occurred at 6:13 In
the morning: the great fi&n Andreas
fault slipped a Jog undersea and vio
lently Jarred the coast over an area
50 miles long and 30 miles wide.
Fire Damage Greatest
San Francisco buildings were vio
lently shaken but few actually col
lapsed, although chimneys and cor
nices cascaded to the ground. Insur
ance companies found that only live
per cent of the S350.000.000 damage
from qu..e and fire wa directly at
tributable to the quake.
. Flames broke out almost at once
In scores of places and spread with
out hindrance as the city's water sys
tem had been Jolted to pieces. By
evening of the first day eight square
miles had been burned and aou.uuu
of the city's 425,000 residents had
deserted their homes In panic.
Whole blocka of buildings were
dynamited to create firebreaks. Au
thorities herded 300,000 of the refu
gees Into Golden Gate park and made
desperate efforts to supply them with
food and water.
Wind Fanned Flames
On the second day a stiff wind
fanned the flames to new fury and
cut of egress down the peninsula on
which San Francisco Is situated.
With the third day the fire abated
somewhat but completed the ruin of
the financial and shopping districts.
It waa not until the fourth day
that citizens could set to work to re
store the 28.000 buildings which lsy
in embers.
The catastrophe occurred before
the days of city planning, and rapid
rebuilding, authorities admit showed
more courage and zeal than wisdom.
The city of today Is one of skyscrap
ers and of lofty spartment houses
crowded close together.
Engineers say that In case of an
other earthquake few If any build
lnga would fall. San Francisco, how
ever, vividly remembera tne "lire
and la a city on guard against a pos
sible repetition of such havoc. '

Preparations for the Elks Frolic
nnd Days of '40, to be staged at the
r'edford Elks temple next Saturday
night, April 18, are virtually com
plete, according to Leon B. Hasklns

best early day couture. There Is no
red tape necessary to try for the
prize, iv was pointed out. The event

selves with false spinach aa an asset
to their pionwr rigs.
