Show THE HELPER JOURNAL, HELPER, UTAH News Review v of Current Events the World Over Americans in London Conference Reject Temporary Stabilization of Dollar and Offer Economic Program; Three More States Vote for Repeal. By EDWARD W. PICKARD by accusations balking the operations of the world conference In London, the American delegates placed their cards on the table. Informing the conference that the EXASPERATED C1 United States would not consider the temporary stabilization of the U dollar during the lire or me uieeuug, as was demanded by the gold bloc. They also presentRaymond ed their economic Moley program, moving the adoption of a resolution binding all nations to cease raising trade barriers against each other, to remove embargoes, quotas, and other arbitrary restrictions, and to scale down tariffs by reciprocal agreements. The delegation then moved the adoption of another resolution committing the nations to action In expanding credit and In government expenditures on public works for the purpose of reviving industry. Meanwhile Prof. Raymond Moley, assistant secretary of state, was on his way to London for a week's stay, having been sent hurriedly by President Roosevelt to act as a sort of liaison officer. While the Americans were framing their statement the French were fuming and threatening to bring about adjournment of the and Prime Minister conference, MaeDonald was visibly worried. But James M. Cox, chairman of the monetary committee, talked privately with George Bonnet, French minister of finance, and explained Mr. Roosevelt's position on the stabilization question in detail. He outlined the Roosevelt Inflation program, told how cheapening the value of the dollar was bringing about a rise of commodity prices and painted a glowing picture of reviving prosperity at home. So the French consented not to disrupt the conference. Secretary of State HuU, it was rumored, intended to return to the United States soon after the arrival He refused to confirm of Moley. er deny this report, and lie also declined to express pessimism concerning the success of the conference. He had a long private talk with King George but of course could not reveal what was said. Mr. Hull took the occasion to deny reports that the American delegation was badly split on the course to pursue In the conference. It had been reported that Senator Couzens of Michigan had read the rict act to the delegation, asserting that the Americans must decide whether to stand for a nationalistic program, represented by the powers conferred on President Roosevelt by congress, or by an internationalistic program, represented by the aims of the conference. Mr. Hull said he could see no Inconsistency. The domestic programs of recovery from depression In the United States and other nations, as he viewed It, were to be reinforced by an International program to be adopted at this conference. PITTMAN of delegation submitted to the monetary committee of the conference his proposal for cur rency reform. In five SENATOR clauses. The KEY com- mittee promptly and pleasantly accepted the first two clauses, which urge that stabilization In the International monetary field be attained "as quickly as practicable" REDUCTION of the world wheat at length In crops the economic section, and experts attached to the various delegations made what was hopefully termed a substantial advance toward an agreement among the United States, Canada, Australia and Argentina to cut output by 15 per cent. Before the committee Stanley Bruce of Australia said that commonwealth would not accept the French plan to reduce the production of primary commodities as a means of raising prices. He presented the thesis that It was up to the industrial countries of the world to stop trying to be agriculand buy food turally from agricultural countries In exchange for manufactured good3. The world has not forgotten the disconcerting proposal of LItvInov of Russia In the armament conference, that the nations represented should agree to disarm immediate ly. Well, the Russian repeated In London, submitting a draft proposal calling for an economic pact by which the nations would bind themselves to from economic attack on each other by means of discriminatory tariffs, special duties or conditions of trade, railway tariffs, charges on shipping, and any kind of boycott by legal or administrative measures. Of course this was too forthright to meet with the approval of the other delegates. THREE more states are now In repeal column, the total number being fourteen and not one yet for the drys. The latest commonwealths to vote for ratification of the repeal amendment are Iowa, Connecticut and New Hampshire. Connecticut was one of the two states that never ratified the prohibition amendment and the result there was considered a foregone conclusion. The wets won about 6 to 1. Iowa and New Hampshire, however, had been placed in the doubtful list, so when they turned in substantial majorities for repeal, there was great rejoicing among the West Virginia, AlaCalifornia, bama and Arkansas are the next to vote on the issue, and the drys hope to win In the latter two, figuring that thus the question will be put over until next year, when they think their chances will be better.
