The Senate leaders adjourned over the week-end and this forced the House to also remain in session. Near Agreement Before the plans for a sine die adjournment were abandoned, a virtual agreement had been reached on two major disputes—vemerans'\ compensation cuts, and industrial recovery bill. ! The first was being ironed out in conference after the Administra- tion's compromise which lessened cuts for veterans as originally pro- | posed had been accepted by thel House. The second lacked only Senate acquiesence to a conference agree- ment.

He described the world plight resulting from falling prices, . maldistribution in goods and fall of the nation income in some countries reaching as low as 45 per cent. He said war debts is another subject in the front rank of import- ance that must be dealt with.
