THE PAN-EUROPEAN
SCHEME.
ALL REPLIES EXCEPT BRITAIN'S RECEIVED.
OUTLOOK NOT TOO PROMISING.
Paris, July 15-With the aole exception of Great Britain, all European countries have now re- plied to M. Briand's memorandum proposing the creation of a Pon European Federation and although
the prospects for the early realiza- tion of the scheme" remain rather zehulous, it is now safe to say that yet another step will be taken to wards that end, namely the holding of a convention of the European Powers either before or immediate- ly after the September session of the League of Nations Assembly.
In this respect it is noteworthy that although the replies giver, by the Powers vary regarding the degree of their' enthusiasm, none of those hitherto heard from rejects M. Briand's proposal outright and it is not expected that Great Bri tain, although the tenor of her re ply will undoubtedy be reserved, will form an exception. On the other hand only a few of the re- plies so far received are without reservations which in effect put. nearly insurmountable barriers in way of M. Briand's proposed unity.
Disarmament Iasule,
Thus Italy insisted on the in- clusion of Turkey and Soviet Rus- sia in the negotiations and further- more declared that before the scheme could be put into practice the last distinction between the conquering and the conquered nations in the last war must be wiped out and, that, all nations, small and big, must receive equal consideration. Moreover, Italy took the occasion to raise the dis armament issue, complaining that M. Briand's memorandum failed to` take it up either directly or im |plicitly although without the solu
tion of this problem the Federation could not be formed or would re- main without any practical value. Italy furthermore insisted that the proposed Pan-European Federation must not be modelled along the lines of the League of Nations because otherwise it would jeopardise the work of the League
These and similar reservations and fears recur in almost every one of the replies so far received, Germany's too, while as yet un- published, is understood to suggest indirectly that Turkey and Soviet Russia ought to be invited on the ground that to omit these states is in itself a negation of Europe's solidarity. Regarding the British reply which will probably be pre- sented to-morrow, Monday, it is understood that. Downing Street at first intended to send merely a non- committal acknowledgment but was, himself to reply at length. Thus later on, persuaded by M. Briond
