[p. 1] ; columns 2–3 ; 38 ¾ col. in. ; George A. Townsend writes about the debates surrounding the Cullom Bill. He describes Cullom, the bill's sponsor, and Hooper, the Utah delegate and a leading opponent of the bill. The bill's supporters believe it will enforce past laws, punish polygamists, and reduce the power of Brigham Young. The opponents believe it will cause more harm than good. The punishments are harsh and superfluous, and the law may fuel feuds among the Mormons. Despite their moral crimes, the Mormons are industrious and help fuel emigration and settlement of the West. .

With the White Paper on the Future of Europe, the European Commission had launched a debate on fundamental reforms of the Union structures in 2017. A total of five reform scenarios ranged from a reduction and focusing of the Union's competences to increased integration in the sense of a United States of Europe. However, the White Paper did not have any consequences; none of the reform scenarios presented was implemented. However, current global challenges in the areas of health, climate change and energy resources as well as the shift in the global balance of power and related security issues demonstrate the increasing importance of a strong and united Europe. The idea of an "ever closer union", as laid down in the preamble of the 1992 EU Treaty, could experience a renaissance. Against this background, the 13th Network Europe Conference addressed the importance of the integration project in times of global crises and the challenges in various policy areas, as well as the EU's relations with its eastern and southern neighbors and its role vis-à-vis global actors such as China and Russia. This publication contains the conference contributions.
