THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.

• UNITED STATES OF EUROPEApparently M. Briand believes'that political unity can 'be utilised as a rtep toward economic unity, and this is one of the chief practical, oibjeots towards which his scheme for the United States of Europe is intended to work. Here he is met by the objection raised clearly and eniphati-. bally by Britain in her official reply to the Memorandum—that there can be little hope of close political cooperation while the nations are still, so far divided by widely differing economic systeirjv and policies. Moreover, Britain is anxious lest the new' Federal Union might mean in reality a duplication of the League of Nations and the overlapping of international activities in many directions. But; she is also apprehensive that thre new Europe may assume the form of a federal economic “bloc” intended to oppose and resist the growing coni,meicial and industrial ascendancy of tlie United States of America. This policy the British Note deprecates strongly, and till these difficulties are cleared up it does not appear likely that Briand’s dream of a United States of Europe will materialise in actual fact, —Auckland Star.
