European Federation Necessity-Schuman
Paris, Oct. 25.
The French Foreign Minister, Mr Robert Schuman, today said that a European federation was essential to the satisfactory functioning of a European army.
Speaking at the Foreign Press Association luncheon, he said, "It is difficult to do without a supranational authority if the European Army is to function at all."
Mr Schuman said that Mratives who form the Executive Dean Acheson, United States of the 12-nation Atlantic Pact Secretary of State, and Be Committee in Paris-Reuter. British Foreign Secretary, Mrj

London, Oct. 25.
The attempts of the Western Powers to underwrite the security of the Middle East by creating an international command similar to the Atlantic Pact Organisation in Europe are taking place against a back- . ground of deepening instability and political assassination.
If Pakistan is considered as the eastern extremity of the Middle East, this area has been the scene of four political assassinations during the present year.
The victims are: the former Prime Minister In the case of the Turkish Government, it is the desnite of Persia, General Ali Razmara; the former Prime opinion of British, French and Minister of the Lebanon, Riadh el Solh; King American military Abdullah of Jordan; and the late Prime Minister western cornerstone of the new of Pakistan, Mr Liaquat Ali Khan.
