that M. BRIAND had got France into difficulties, but not by signing the treaties of Locarno. The difficult situation of France has been due to K. BRIAND'S capitulation to M.

HONG KONG, SEPTEMBER 8, 1929.

Sour time this week M. BRAND ia- tends to invite the leaders of the various European Delegations now at. Geneva to discuss with him the plan he has in mind to establish a United States of Europe. There is a good deal of mystery about this scheme, and Reuter tells us that M. BRAND was still vague in his refer ences to it last Friday. Possibly the French Premier will be more informative when he discusses the matter with his colleagues at Geneva during the next few days. The idea is not row-cven to France, for NAPOLEON had ambitions of a united Europe, but fortunately we know that M. BRAND's plan is not of that character. He does not suggest a 'dictatorship of the Continent, but some "link between the various States enabling them to act in a moment of grave and common emer- geney, while retaining their in- dividual sovereignty. One would think that all necessary machinery to this end already exista at Geneva, but evidently M. BRIAND in not altogether satisfied on this point. We await with interest the French Premier's statement on the subject he has so much at heart. There are many obvious obstacles to a scheme of federation, and not the
