FRENCH DELEGATE JOINS TRADE TALK Roosevelt and MacDonald Continue Conversations an Currencies. (Continued From First Page.) ‘varied engagements, while the economic experts of the nations were busily en- gaged in preruflng the data for their use later, following out the lines al-| ready advanced in the conferences he- tween President Roosevelt and Mr. Mac- Donald over the week end. M. Her-| riot made a visit to Mount Vernon to| lay a wreath on the tomb of George Washington and also to Arlington | where he placed a wreath on the tomb | of the Unknown Soldier. If the experts have so far completed their work on the various problems assigned them for information, the tea party at the White House at 5 o'clock may be turned into a real conference, with the President and M. Herriot get- ting down to their first discussion of the questions before them. Borah Host to MacDonald. Prime Minister MacDonald and his daughter, Miss Ishbel, were the guests of Senator and Mrs. William E. Borah for breakfast early today. Mr. Mac- Dopald and the former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee re- inewed a pleasant friendship, which be- gan when Mr. MacDonald came to Washington nearly four-years ago to discuss the question of arms limitation ‘wlt.h former President- Hoover. Today they had an opportunity to talk over | informally the problems which will con- | front the coming economic conference. | Senator Borah has for years insisted | that relief for the world could be ob- | tained only through international agree- | ments on’ economic subjects. He was one of the earliest sponsors of an in- | ternational economic conference, such ulsnowplfled just as he was an | originator of the plan for limitation of | naval armaments. Senator Borah later said that Prime Minister MacDonald was optimistic and believed agreements could be reached here which would make the world eco- nomic conference a success. Their con- versation, he said, had ranged through dlslrml.ment currency and other ques- tions that are likely to come before the economic conference. He would not give the details of their talk, however. When MacDonald left the Borah apartment on Connecticut avenue, he went to pay a formal call on Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, one of the American delegates to the London Naval Conference. On the return of the prime minister to the White House, he and the President were again en- gaged in conference, until it was time for the prime minister to go to the Ca- nadian legation for luncheon. Dinner at British Embassy. The British prime minister is to be the guest of honor at a dinner tonight at the British embassy. M. Herriot is cxpecied to go to the White House to- | night about 9 o'clock for conference with the President. ‘When Mr. MacDonald and the Presi- dent resumed their conferences this morning at the White House Secretary of State Hull, the Undersecretary of State, Mr. Phillips, and American and British experts joined them. The dis- cussions proceeded with stabilization of exchanges and disarmament in mind. While M. Herriot and the President are having tea at the White House this afterncon, Mr. MacDonald is to be a Stimson at Woodley for tea, but Mr. MacDonald will return to see M. Her- riot at 6 o'clock. It is expected the President, Mr. MacDonald and M. Herriot will all sit down informally to- the meantime the conferences of the President, the British and French rep- resentatives are being kept separate. For the first time the topic of dis- armament entered the Roosevelt-Mac- Donald conversations yesterday and held their undivided attention ih a seven- hour cruise down the Potomac. Then on their return they summoned their experts who had been hard at work throughout the day, and in a ses- sion which lasted until midnight they got down to dollars and cents in dis- cussing the ratios at which the United States and Great Britain might return to a revised international gold stand- ard of currency. On both of these points the views of Prance were awaited before reaching any conclusions. A likelihood also was seen that the matter of the war debt re- vision would be broached by the French- man. M. Herrlot reached Washington while his fellow statesmen were deep in their talk on disarmament, in the seclusion of a yacht lazily floating on the sunlit Potomac River. While the results of the long discus- slon of the subject between MacDonald and Roosevelt were not made known, it was believed they had decided upon & |plan in which French co-operation would be sought to save the Geneva arms conference from failure. Move Would Be Timely. Such a move would be well timed. Resuming its deliberations this week after recessing over the Easter holidays, the Gepeva Conference takes up as a basis for discussion the proposal made a few weeks ago by MacDonald him- self, but which met only a lukewarm recepticn from the French. It provided for reducing the armies of Europe to definite figures—France, 200,000 and 200,000 more for its over- seas possessions; Germany, 200,000, double what it is allowed under the Versailles treaty; Poland, France's ally, 200,000; Italy, 200,000 and 50,000 more for its overseas force; Russia, 500,000, and Czechoslovakia, another ally of France, 100,000. Most important from the standpoint of the United States was a “security” provision, under which signatories of the Kellogg-Briand peace pact would agPee to consult together among them- selves in case of a violation or a threat- ened breach of its solemn pledge against war. This has been interpreted as a move to satisfy the French demand for guarantees of their security against attack. While the Democratic plat- form govlded for adding consultative provisions to the pact, the administra- tion thus far has taken no action, although it is carefully watching public opinion and the attitude of Congress. Joint Statement Issued. On the matter of the proposed new gold standard parities the French atti- tude was looked upon here as vastly important.

By sea kegs of gold came recently from the United States. The French cabinet’s decision Satur- day to maintain the gold standard and a statement by both the government and the Bank of Prance that there was no fear for the franc, was a signal for the fight to begin. The cabinet declared not only for a strong resistance, but urged a speedy Seven PFleld Sun ence and appealed to nations to return to the gold standard.

PARIS, April 24—-An effort- to or- & prelude to the World Economic Con- ference will be made here this week at the first International Congress on Trade Exchange. 40 Nations Participating. Forty countries are participating in the congress opening today under aus- pices of the French Union of Ex txlndmmu It will continue until Satur- a; About 200 delegates representing many branches of trade and officials of :‘}:nmltnrl of commerce have registered us fa The object of the congress is described as two-fold: First, to give generalship to exporters throughout the world in their fight against ail obstacles to trade movement, and, second, to enable the French_exporters to nnd markets for their products.

Union Formed Year Ago. ‘The French Union of Exporting In- dustries was formed a year ago by big textile, wine and perfume manufactur- ers. They have waged war against tariffs and quotas in their own country and now wish to carry their program into a world sphere. The exporters met opposition from the National Confederation of Agricul- tural Associations. The farmers, wish- ing to protect wheat growers, launched a counter movement. Quotas on for- eign wheat at present totally exclude all importations. lm!-fcvurlh of Prance's money is tucked | away in peasants’ “woolen socks.” France, however, intends to hold Iu gold until the currency battle ends md' the world gets back to a normal nnd, stable exchange. Strong as the Prench‘ gold reserve appears, financiers say nothing is certain, because other coun- tries may seek to drain it.
