Call For "United Europe"
Mr. Churchill's Speech In Albert Hall
"THE SUPREME OPPORTUNITY"
London, May 14.
A vast crowd representing all political creeds packed the Albert Hall to its 7,000 capacity tonight to hear Britain's wartime Premier, Mr. Churchili, launch a campaign for “United Europe" and declare that Great Britain and France, as the founder partners, must bring Germany in a friendly way back into the eir- cle of nations.
Long before the doors were due to open, a queue formed outside and police and officials had difficulty in controlling the crowd. Members
of both French Houses of Parliament who had flown to Britain for the meeting were there to hear the speech, which lasted for forty min-
utes.

FRENCH BREAD MILLS REQUISITIONED
Paris, May 14.
More mills were requisitioned by the Government in strike-ridden France today in the effort to save the country's bread ration which is threatened with another 1-3/4 ounces cut.
Following the strike in the Paris mills early in the week, the mills at Bobigny near Paris went on strike this morning and were immediately re- quisitioned by the Government.
