By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN ,IIE United States of Europe? I dont know. You dont know. No- body knows. It would be a strange thing. Yet struuge things are done these latter days. No more stunning surprise ever broke upon this world than the World war. Not less stunof the ning was the surprise Armistice. And now on top of these surprises comes the surprise of the Locarno pacts and their signing. If nhd . bese treaties are not mere scraps of paper the United States ) hold them so is unthinkable ! Europe is their logical outcome. Anyway, we shall know more about It In October of this year, , when a I'an European congress Is to be colled Independently of the League of Nations but not In opposition to It In an endeavor to lirenk down nationalistic divisions, to bring about economic and to promote disarmament. Is a bit If Count Richard Condenhove-Kalerg- l chesty these days Incidentally he Is In tbs United States at this writing and Is being made much of he should be pardoned. For he is the head of the United States of Europe movement. And. whats more, as a prophet no seventh son of a seventh son has anything on him. Three years ago he wrote a book, which at the time seemed merely the utterance of a dreamer visioning an Utopia. Yet the book has come strangely true so true In part that one wonders If It Is to come true In whole. even dared to Wliyv Count Coudenhove-Kalerg- l between France anil" prophesy a reconciliation Germany. lie figured that they would come to a ' realization that continued hostility meant ruin for both; that to save themselves they would have to come to a mutual solidarity based on common sense. Count Coudenhove-Kalerg- l wilt not be like most prophets not without honor snve In his own country for If ever there was a cosmopolite It Is he. lie certainly will be honored somewhere, lie Is believed to hail at present from Vienna. The Coudenhove family is of the Belgian aristocracy. The Kalergls are an old Greek family of note. Count Richard was horn In Tokyo of an Austrian father and a Japanese mother, lie was educated In Bohemia, Austria and Germany. lie is now a citizen of Czechoslovakia. Ills wife Is Ida Roland, a Central European actress of 'note. Surely Count Coudenhove-Kalerg- l should know something at least of European conditions, needs and tendencies. To show how close to the true Inwardness of things Count Richard came three years ago, here are some of the things he said then In xtARj, the world her own Monroe Doctrine; Europe for the Europeans! And now, three years later, Count Coudenhove-Kalerg- l says, I told you so," In a very polite and n.odest way and comments on the present Improving situation after this fashion: The alms of ths movement that I Initiated three years ago are: The union of all democracies of the Europenn continent on a basis of peace, good will and prosperity. The close of the and unions with the great British for the reorganization of world peace on the basis of continental understanding. International understanding must be reorganized In a form that secures America from being drawn Into any European difficulty and. on the other hand, secures America from any European Interference'. The basis for such a reorganization Is the continental sectioning of the League that would reconcile the principles of Wilson and 0 Pan-Euro- Pnn-Europ- Monroe. The Dawes plan was the first step toward- a United States of Europe and the Locarno conference was the second step, and all serious thinkers In Europe are looking upon the United States as having furnished a model for a successful confed- -' eratlon of states. The United States of Europe became possible after the victory of democracy In Central Europe. Liberty and peace are sisters. Therefore, the liberation of Europe was a condition of Ita union. The most difficult question Is the position of England, which Is at once a European power and a part of the Intercontinental British commonwealth. I believe that the greater part of the English nation would be opposed to England Canada'! entering entering and India's entering Pan-AsiThey would prefer the British Empire to be considered aa an Independent entity and to have England Just as Canada Is outside outside England must be attached- by special then England will have treaties to the position of a great bridge, and this Atlantic solidarity between and Britain will be the greatest possible guarantee of peace. Many political .leaders during the last few months have declared their sympathy with ths Idea of a United States of Europe Herrlot, Pain-levCalllaux, Loucheur, Jouvenal, Marx, Loebe, Koch, Simons.

The only way to secure. European peace and prosperity Is The creation of Count Klchurds Idea of world development, as Is that, get forth In detail In political leadership Is centered In Washington, London, Paris, Tokyo and Moscow. Power In world terms Is American, British, European, Eust Aslun and Russian. Therefore the world should be divided Into five corresponding groups of nations, united on a basis of common expediency. These five groups, thus classified, would compare In population and in area (square miles) as follows: Population Area Pan-Europ- e, Pan-Europ- e, a. Pan-Europ- e; a. Pan-Euro- Pan-Euro- Whereas the 48 republics of North America are united politically and economically In one single union, the 26 democracies of Europe are undermining their political and economlo sovereignty and, by means of their policy In peace and war, are systematically destroying each other. The United States of America Is the richest, most powerful and most highly developed country In the vorld. Her citizens are not liable to universal military service. Upon her territory no war has been fought for over half a century. Industry and agriculture prosper there and American material and Intellectual culture grows from year to year. Pan-Europ- e. Pun-Europ- The European problem will never be solved until be nations of Europe Join together. This union will occur either voluntarily, by the creation of a Ian European federation, or It wtU be forced upon Europe m a result of a conquest of western Europe by Russia. Whether or not the European problem Is solved by Europe herself or by Russia, one fact remains: the present European system of small nations cannot maintain Itself permanently In the face of the foul great federations of the future; the British.

For If there was any one thin.g which Mrs. Shepard had learned better than any other, It was precisely that to run things. As business manager and buffer par excellence between her youngar author brother, Jack London, and the outside world with all Its distractions and worries, Mrs. Shepard had had long und varied experience In that most important function.. While Jack was writing strong, virile tales without number, it was Mrs. . Shepard 'who stood on guard always to see that none of his restless energy was turned aside from its purpose.
