BRIAND DENIES EUROPE UNITY PERIL TO U. S. Continental United States Dream Is Peace Move, Says Premier. m riF.RRF. SALANIER tnltH Pr**w Staff ('orrr*Dond*nt PARIS. Aug. s.—Prcnmr Aristide Briand. one of the world's leading apostles of expressed deep regret. today that, his life-long dream of a United States of Europe has been construed in certain quarters as an attempt to establish an economic front against the United States of America. The French statesman staunchly maintained he would not even attempt a European federation if such a malevolent spirit could seep into it. warping it and swaying it from his original ideal of fostering peace and relieving the world from hatreds resulting from political and commercial discords. Dream for Decades Premier Briand. prior to his departure for The Hague at the head of the French delegation to the international conference, asked the United Press to explain the conception of the project, of a United States of Europe, a project which has been his dream for decades and which about four years ago began to take on actual form. The premier said that the primary object of his dream is peace in Europe and throughout the world. It. in no wav envisages any competition with the United States of America, and not only that, but the premier believes that a European federation actually would help America, and that a collaboration between the two unions would be for the benefit of peace and commerce throughout the world. Understands Difficulties The minister said he is cognizant of the difficulties of the tremendous undertaking and the organization of such a huge project. But he contends that, it was the duty of the statesmen of the world to collaborate in it and not to shrink before obstacles. Briand explained he already had broached the subject to various European statesmen during the League of Nations sessions both at Geneva and at Madrid, and that they had expressed a favorable opinion of the elaborate scheme. He intends to continue the conversations at the next session of the league at Geneva, in the hope that the forthcoming discusions regarding the various economic and political problems will produce a basis for the organization of the European federation.

Commenting on Chairman Raskob's speech at the recent banquet in Washington. Cannon said the former General Motors financial wizard ‘‘indulged in wild talk about a revolution in order to secure the enjoyment of life, liberty and in the pursuit of happiness.” This, the churchman said, "was simply the use of somewhat different words to express frantic, undying opposition to prohibition.” Bishop Cannon summed up his commment on the Rasko]j speech by saying: "Either Raskobism must be discarded and repudiated, or dry southern Democrats Bre of necessity permanently out of the party.” Asserting he did borrow $4,000 to purchase 625 barrels of flour for Blackstone colllege, of which he was president, shortly after the United States entered the war, Cannon explained he disposed of it in eighteen days after he had been assured protection against food profiteers would be given public institutions. Cannon reaffirmed a previous explanation of his expenditure of money belonging to the Methodist Board of Temperance and Social Sendee to send out announcements of the Asheville dry conference. These funds, he said, wore borrowed by him as an individual from the board treasurer and were repaid shortly afterward.

WAITING GAME IS PLAYED BY GHINA

Aug. s.—ln a private car on a railroad siding here, Tsai | Yun-Sheng. Harbin commissioner of foreign affairs, is awaiting word from Moscow which will go far to- j ward determining peace or war in- : volving 500.000.0(>0 people. Everything depends on whether their respective governments back up Tsai and B. N. Melinikoff. Soviet consul general at Harbin, who have been conducting the eleventh hour conference here. Meanwhile thin lines of Chinese and Russian troops continue to confront each other across three miles of ‘‘No Mans Land" in full signt of each other. Today I visited the Chinese outposts. From their trenches, which are deep and well-made, I could sec the Russ ans similarly prepared on the other side. Neither side stays in the trenches. Soldiers were walking and riding about. A Russian cavalry platoon was maneuvering in the open. I have seen no airplanes since my arrival at Manchuli. This is probable due to orders from the Moscow government forbidding demonstrations while the diplomatic parleys are in progress. Neither army has a large force holding the frontier line. But there is a large Russian concentration reported a few' miles in the rear. The Chinese defense is based on Kailar, 100 miles to the east. The Chinese general told me he would fall back from Maehuli if attacked. Then, if the Russians should take Hailar, military ob-

SUGAR CHIEF ISSUE OF DAY IN WASHINGTON Countless Lobbyists Are on Hand for Hearing by % Tariff Grounp. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Tress Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Aug. s.—Sugar has become the political issue of the ! day here, attracting the interest of President Herbert Hoover, senators of both parties, the new Democratic | publicity agency and countless lob- | byists on hand to represent the varii ous factions. I The President, returning from hi* I week-end camping trip to the Shen i andoah valley with chairman Reed Smoot of the senate finance committee. whose sliding scalp was proposed last week, brought anew angle into the sugar fight. While there was no official announcement of what, Hoover thought of the scale, there were strong indications it is accepteable to him. Therefore, it may be adopted by j Smoot's committee as a substitute I for the flat 3 cents a pound rate in j the house bill. I Hoover and Smoot found another j new angle of the fight had been opened in their absence when Sena- ; tor William E. Borah of Idaho let. | it be known he is considering a tariff bounty plan as a substitute for 1 both the Smoot 1 to 3-cent rate and j the house fiat duty. The influential Republican orator of the last campaign favorably is considering a propostion to lower the present tariff rate on sugar and in place of such protection to offer American producers a bounty from the treasury of 2 cents a pound on all sugar produced within the continental United States.
