MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1939. PAGE SEVEN U. S. STATESMEN DOUBTFUL ABOUT E European Races Determined To Have Their Quarrels Is Feeling Of Yankees. nd boyi who iwlm the Rio Grande from Mexico and try to dodge immigration officers. When a 12-year-old tyy swam the river recently and was cap tured, the officers took a bur lap bag. cut head and armholes in it and sent him back to his Mexican home attired in the costume. Livestock By Preston Grovtr Washington Yankee states men see really solid ground un der the widely discussed plan for a European federation based on economic factors rather than on a purely political basis. They would like to believe it would work. It has at least the advantage of a different ap proach, one based on assuring adequate bread and butter rather than on so-called national inspirations. Two things keep Americans from whooping up a too-eager enthusiasm for the idea. First is a deep-set belief that European peoples are deter mined to have their quarrels re gardless of the general welfare. Second is the fact that it is being advanced primarily by England, and therefore, in the eyes of many, should be scrutin ized closely. It is popular and politically "important just now n lnolr first fnr nrnnaeanda and only later for facts in any pro posal from "Kemaious aiduhi. Chamberlain Hopes rvimhprlain's sDeech sounded for a paragraph or so as if he had his eye on secretary nun. "Trt cnh n Eurone." said Chamberlain', speaking of the "new Burope" he hoped would grow out of the war, "it would be recognized that there can be no lasting peace unless there is a full and constant flow of trade htwpn the nations, for only by increased interchange of goods and services can the standard of living be improvea. Continuing in the same vein, 1.A cnirl "In such a Europe, fear of ocrrAQcinn will have ceased to exist, and such adjustments of boundaries as would be neces sary would be threshed out be fnresn npichhnrs slttine on eaual terms around a table, with the help of disinterested tnira parties if it were so desired. Oft-Tried Idea Europe has been looking for a forlpration of some sort for a An-rexn OnnPMt.innS. The CBtllOllC church tried for several hundred years to fend off the break up into tight little nationalities. The Holy Roman Empire, with a far less noble motive, sought this, too. Louis XIV of France tried two hundred years ago to make Eu rope a nation of one mind his own. England shock him down. The enthusiasts of the French revolution thought they had found the one-and-only type of government and tried to butter all Europe with it. Napoleon, with the same machinery but fewer of the ideals, dreamed for a time of a sort of United States of Europe under him. Water loo ended that. At the Congress of Vienna in 1818, Prussia, Russia and Aus tria set out to preserve the sta tus quo in Europe and even in the Americas by the "Holy Al liance." South American na tions, and in turn, Greece, Bel gium and Spain, shook down that house. The League of Nations was the next such attempt, but its machinery was better designed to make political adjustments than the economic adjustments about which Europe now is talking. Put to Work. Regina. Sask. CU.R) Seventy- five beaver have been employed by the Saskatchewan govern ment in the interests of water conservation. They were placed in streams where their work at building dams will 'raise water levels, aiding in fire prevention. Portland Portland. Ore.. Dec. 7.
