UNITED STATES OF EUROPE
BRITISH PATTERN IN GOVERNMENT
REALISATION OF PEACE AND FREEDOM
(Rec. 10.30 p.m.) NEW YORK, Oct. 30. Speaking as one who had spent some of the most strenuous years of his life fighting against the British Emgire in its old form, Field-Marshal muts said to-day that the pattern of the British Commonwealth might be the type of government which would best suit the twin ideals of freedom and peace for which, the world was seeking. Field-Marshal Smuts added that the British Commonwealth in the twentieth century was very different from that of the nineteenth century. If Europe, or a large part of Europe, could form a union in which the constitutional principles of the British Commonwealth could prevail, the world might see that continent emerge from its confusions and miseries and realise its freedom and peace in a renaissance more glorious than ever before.
