DOUBTFUL ABOUT

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.

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.

Leading stocks overcame early
selling barriers in today's mar
ket, and. in the final hour, re
sumed the recovery purh of
yesterday. Closing gains, cen
tering principally in industrials,
ranged from major fractions to
more than point.
Business news was all on the
side of the bulls, and, with
wheat futures shooting up to
around ihe Sl-a-bushel mark
and other commodities display
ing forward inclinations, com
mission house customers took a
more cheerful view of trends.
Dividends and earnings helped
brighten ihe picture. Tax sell
ing provided a brake.
Transfers were in the neigh
borhood of 1,000.000 shares.
