ANDRE MAUROIS INTERVIEWED:

Europe Economy Disturbing To World Peace

By DOROTHY RUSSELL (United Press Staff Correspondent))

Paris, Sept. 14.-The danger of a third world war lies mainly in the possibility of serious internal economie disturbances in Europe, Andre Maurois, noted French writer and philosopher, believes. In an interview, Maurois told the correspondent he thinks Europe's potentially explosive economic situation is a far more disturbing element to world peace, than the antagonism between the United States and Russia.

The United States, he said, can make a great contribution toward averting a civilisation- shattering new war by facing up to its responsibilities and providing financial and econo mic aid necessary to Europe's recovery.

Maurios said he believed Ameri-

"I feel it is not only America's

"In terms of cash, a third world war would cost América billions, so it would be better logically to spend half that amount trying to avold the war especially since another war inevitably would mean the end of civilisation."

New York, Sept. 14.-Additional delegates poured into New York today for-the 1947 convocation of the United Nations General Assembly as delegations al- ready here conducted a series of last-minute con. ferences to determine national policy on many conflic- ting issues which will face the world assembly.

Maurols added. "And although there is always a possibility that everyone will go mad, I don't think it will happen.

"I think we are moving towards a world state. There is no other solution. Of course, it will take time. But it is the only alternative to a third world war."

The white-haired, 13-year-old author who has lived most of the past 3 years in the United States, said Ke regarded the current rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union as "a normal reaction to the past war."
