TAFT ATTACKS ‘NORLD UNION’

Tells Bar Association Such Plan Would Fail

In Ten Years.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27 (U. P.).—Sen. Robert A. Taft (R. Ohio) yesterday urged an attempt to prevent future wars by international action

but said the theory of an international state appears “fantastic, dangerous, and impractical.” In an address to the American Bar association, Taft criticized the international union plan advanced by former Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota. Taft said he believes an international state bearing the same relation’ to nations and their citizens as the U. S. government bears to the states and their citizens “would fall to pieces in 10 years.” “We are not engaged in any crusade for democracy, or for the four freedoms, or the preservation of the British empire,” he said. “We seek a world in which the American people can work out the destiny of the republic and solve the problems of human liberty and happiness without physical attack or. the distortion of our multiple freedoms by war.” Taft said an overwhelming allied victory in the war should insure peace for many years to come.
