NEW CONFEDERATION.
UNITED STATES AND EUROPE. THE HOPE OF DR. BENE3. (Received 2 p.m.) PARIS, March 18. Dr. Eduard Benes (Minister of Foreign Affairs and formerly Premier of the Czecho-Slovakia Republic, discussing with. M. Herriot (Premier of France) the security of Europe, outlined a scheme to constitute a United States of Europe. Dr. Benes aims at forming two srroup-' of States, the eastern" consisting of Britain, France, Belgium, and Germany, and the western Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Austria, and all other Central Europeans, allowing Italy to join either group and inviting Spain to join the western group, the signatories to guarantee to mutually protect frontiers and accept compulsory arbitration. Dr. Benes is of opinion the Dominions would not object to such regional understanding, which does not require placing military forces at the disposal of an"+hpr country. He hopes the scheme will be accepted as a substitute for the Protocol before the League's September meeting.—(A. and N.Z." Cable.)
