The French will also likely default, as that nation did last December and observers predicted that a European bloc of debtor nations will force a settlement of the problem. Sensation a f t e r sensation occurred at the morning ses- sion, with American Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull, spokesman, of the American delegation not appearing, and Premjer Daladier, of France, taking his place. Word from the American delega- tion said Secretary Hull was de- layed in preparing his speech in which he was to bear into the battleground, the banner of tariff moderation for which he has fought throughout his long career in Am- erican life. He is prepared, it is sald, to strike against excessive tariffs and new fangled trade bar- riers which he feels are choking the world commerce to death. Currency Stabiization Meanwhile discussions for cur- rency stabilization plans are under- way between French, American and British bank representatives with European powers described as ex- erting tremendous pressure on Am- ericans to stabilize the American dollar. Daladier's speech was short and 'direct with a call for international collaboration. He denounced what he called the blind rush for profits and asserted it is necessary to ex- ipend into an international sphere in accords between industries such |as steel, chemicals and the like | which are now forming behind the national walls and nations must avoid an economic war which will ibe bound to finish in the same | fashion as an actual war and with "peril to civilization. | The French Premier also called for currency stabilization, econ- cmic accords and huge public works and other schemes to pull the world out of its slump. ‘Ex-Mrs. Astor Will | Seek Divorce in Reno NEW YORK, June 13.—The so- cially prominent Mrs. William K.
