He attended a session of the Federal Reserve Board while in Washington and he said he considered the reports heard there satisfactory. ‘The Ambassador admitted the general was still “dragging on bottom,” but added that no marked improvement was expected at this time and that among industrialists there was an undercurrent of hope and confidence in_the future, Mr. Mellon said he had no instruc- | tions to carry on negotiations on the Ambassador attended a memo- | rial service yesterday for Calvin Cool- idge. He said he had exchanged greet- | ings at the service with Foreign Sec- ‘ retary Sir John Simon, but had made no arrangements to confer with him. Mr. Mellon further said he definitely | would remain until March as the United States Ambassador here.
