The Union of Europe The conclusions of the special Committee
appointed by the League of Nations Union confirm and illustrate what we wrote in our issue of May 24th about M. Briand's project for a European Federal Union. The danger of the world being divided into separate Continental groups or economic units is emphasized. To avoid the risk that the proposed organization should become a rival body to the League, it is suggested that the British Government should propose that the whole matter be placed upon the agenda of the forthcoming Assembly. "Great Britain is historically and geographically part of Europe," and the British Empire would have a "unifying and conciliatory influence .
owing to its position in every Continent." It is taken for granted that participation in the European movement will not impair in any way our freedom for Imperial development and co-operation.
