DEBT DISCUSSION ON PROGRAM TODAY MacDonald Wants Roosevelt Attitude Regarding June Installment. (Continued FProm First Page.) - SR RN S S especially impressed by the informal manner of the President, who reminded | him that he was dining tonight at the White House, “just a family dinner.” The talks stretched cver a period of | over three hours. The interpreters who | had been ordered to the White House | were dispensed with by the President, | who declared his French was good enough to carry on informal conversa- tions. Only three men were present in | the oval room. President Roosevelt, Herriot and Ambassador de La Boulaye. | After having surveyed the general | economic situation, they were joined by the experts, who were introduced by | their respective chiefs to each cther. ! A general conversation followed and the President presented to the experts! and to Herriot a lengthy memorandum | of about 120 pages, which will form the | basis of their work. 1 The memorandum contained all the | points covered by the agenda of the| economic _conference as drafted at Geneva. There were no specific recom- mendations—just the whole thing to be thrashed out by the American and French experts. Afterward the experts withdrew and the private conversations between Herriot and Roosevelt were re- sumed. This time Herriot did most of the talking, as the conversations changed from economics to politics. European Situation Discussed. The French represcntative 1s believed to have spoken about the situation in Europe; the tendencies and the drifts in the present complex political situa- tion and explained at length to the President the reason why the French government, liberal as the present Dal- adier cabinet 1s, cannot accept the Mac- Donald proposals for disarmament, pre- sented by the British premier on March 16 at Geneva. Those proposals lim- ited the armies of the European na- tions by number and gave France, Italy and Germany a parity of armed forces of 200,000 men, while Poland was al- lotted 200,000 men and Yugoslavia and the other states of the little entente were given 100,000. Herriot is understood to have ex- plained to the President in detail why this proposal cannot be accepted at the present moment by the French pecple. Naturally, if the Economic Conference proves a complete success and the Wheels of the world economic machinery start working again, the results will un- doubtedly be a better understanding be- tween nations, and the MacDonald pro- _SPECIAL NOTICES.

But in the | present state of the world, and of Eu- | Tope in particular, there is not much ‘likelihmd thet France will accept the British limitation of arms proposal. This expose of the political situation made by Herriot to the President fol- lowed a conversation the French leader had with Ramsay MacDonald yesterday afternoon and which lasted more than an_hour. It is said that the talk between the two European leaders covered mostly the political angle of the Washington conversations. There was apparent yesterday a certain amount of resent- ment in Prench circles because it had been indicated MacDonald had sug- | gested to the President the taking up of | his Geneva proposals for quantitative disarmament in order to bring the clusion. The French did not like this because they have already turned down this proposal taice; they consider the | | British premier had acted somewhat | hastily by presenting what they con- sidered an cbsolete proposal for the consideration of Mr. Roosevelt. “Reasonable Hope” of Accord. This was so mucn more important since it was stated in British quarters that there was a reasonable hope an agreement may be reached at Geneva. ‘In well informed quarters it was said | last night that it will be essential to get the Limitation of Arms Conference out of the way before the Economic Conference meets. The official com- munique issued jointly on Sunday night by President Roosevelt and Ram- say MacDonald, wherein it was stated that the conversations on disarmament | between the President and the British premier wculd “considerably advance the prospects of success of both the Disarmament and the Economic Con- ference,” was interpreted to mean that both leaders would do their utmost to bring the Limitation of Arms Confer- ence to a successfol conclusion, if pos- sible by the end of the next month. In well informed quarters it was| stated emphatically that “the Sunday night communique meant something.” Furthermore, it was indicated the question of reaching an agreement ni the disarmament conference, like reach- ing an agreement at the economic con- ference, depended a good deal on good will, and 1t was added that “if one of the results of the Roosevelt MacDon- ald conversations is a feeling that we shall be determined to get results, it | means that we will get results.” The spokesman of the French gov- ernment does not lack good will, either, but he maintains that on the question of disarmament something more than | good will is necessary—at least as far as_the French people are concerned. For this reason the reports that Mac- Donald had revived his Geneva quan- titative disarmament proposal and showed its advantages to President Roosevelt caused somewhat of a flurry in French circles.

While the workman gets his beer cheaper, those who had hoped for a considerable reduction in the income | tax were disappointed. ‘The chancellor declared that he would throw his budget out of balance if he reduced the income tax, and he declined to do that. “No finance minister, so far as I know, ever deliberately unbalanced his budget when he means to balance it,” he said. He refused to be pessimistic about the financial outlook, saying: “Pessimism at our financial prospects has no justification. I do not accept that financially we are in peril if we are guided by sound and well tried prin- ciples of policy.” $75,950,000 DUE IN JUNE Total British Debt Owing U. $4,499,520,000. ‘The amount due from Great Britain on its war debt June 15 is $75,950,000. The largest single debtor the United States, Great Britain on De- cember 15 paid an installment of $95,- 550,000. Its total now owed and funded over a long period of years is $4,499,520,000. The failure to include provision for payment in the budget was noted with interest but without serious concern in officia] circles here. It was pointed out that the currency inflation bill now be- fore the Senate, by a provision aliow- ing up to $100,000,000 on the debts to be accepted in silver, would enable the entire June 15 payment to be met in that way without any burden on the British taxpayer by a simple transfer of silver already held in British India. It was explained that India assumed a portion of the British debt after the war and is behind $81,000,000 on that obligation. S.

It seems apparent that any serious| difference between the United States| and the debtor nations would at that | time not add to the chances of success. | This country would like to avoid such a situation. It remains for the present conversations here to deal with this| very practical matter through laying at least the foundations for some kind of | working plan to carry past the Eco- nomic Conference. In preparation for his conference with M. Herriot and the French eco- | nomic advisers at the White House fili 2:30 p.m., the President this morning | was working with some of the Ameri- | can staff. At the same time, M. Her- riot, Mr. MacDonald and Prime Minister Bennett of Canada were engaged Wwith their own experts. At the State De- partment, Secretary Hull and other | members’ of the American group met wltg members of the French advisory | stafl. The President had his first confer- ence with the French representatives | last night, lasting for several hours, and | at that time laid before M. Herriot data covering the wide range of subjects | which are expected to come up for con- sideration in the Economic Conference in London. M. Herriot, on emerging from the conference, said there had| been included in the matter before| him and the President data regarding | armaments, war debts and the gold question. His statement to newspaper correspondents was: Complete Program Presented. “The President laid down before me | a complete and precise program, in- | cluding everything—armaments, = war debts, gold and everything. I am very pleased with the beginning of our con- versation. Tomorrow is the day of the experts. They shall carry on the dis- cussion.” The gl’fltrlm to which M. Herriot re- ferred is understood to be a program of discussion, accompanied by a collection of data, rather than a program of exact proposals. Indeed, it is clearly the pur- pose of the principals in the conversa- tions now g on not to seek definite 'ments. Those must come neces- sarily in the London conference. This was clearly set forth in the joint | statement issued late yesterday after- noon by the President and Prime Min- ister MacDonald after they had vir- tually completed their conferences. In satisfaction” with the progress made. There is no doubt that the British and the Americans, after their con- at the economic conference. ~And further, the President has succeeded in making a favorable impression upon the French. These three nations by themselves may not be able to make a success of the coming international | conference, but they can lay the ground here for an understanding, and if the same accomplishment with the repre- sentatives of Italy, China, Japan and other nations can be brought about in conferences here, a great deal will have been accomplished. M. Herriot has declared himself “charmed” with the reception accorded the President and with the President himself. ~President Roose- velt talked with the former premier in his own language and dispensed with the use of interpreters. President Roosevelt snd Mr. Mac- Donald talked together this morning for an hour in the oval room at the White House, calling in their experts from time to time, for facts and in- formation. At the State Department where French and American experts gathered for conference those participating were Secretary Hull, Assistant Secretary Raymond Moley, Dr. Herbert Feis, economic adviser to the department; William C. Bullitt, a special assistant there; Charles W. Taussig and James P. Warburg, both of New York, who have been brought into the conversa- tion because of specialized knowledge. The French group consisted Charles Rist, economic adsiver in Her- riot’s party; Robert Coulondere, assis- tant in the French foreign office; Paul Elbel, director of the French com- merce department; Jean Jacques Bizot, assistant_director of the movement of funds; Emmanuel Monick, financial attache at the French embassy and Maurice Garreau-Dombasle, its com- mercial attache. Today is the last of Mr. MacDonald’s stay in Washington, for he leaves at noon tomorrow for New York. Tonight he will dine informally at the White House with the President and at the dinner will be M. Herriot. Late yester- day the British prime minister and M.

Mr. Bennett is to leave Washington same time Friday. The complete American program was presented to M. Herriot at the White | House last night in a meeting that lasted until midnight. This meeting was followed by a general conference of | American and French experts, includ- | ing Secretary Hull and the French Ambassador, Andre de La Boulaye. | Leaving the White House in high| spirits and enthusiasm, M. Herriot spread his arms expansively as he told | newspaper men that “everything” was taken up in the “precise program” an- | nounced by the President and put into the hands of the experts. By “every- thing” the Frenchman included war debts. Earlier in the evening Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. MacDonald said in their joint | statement : | “Among the subjects considered in ' these discussions were the world price level, central bank policies, monetary standards, exchange restrictions, im-| provement of the status of silver, and, in addition, a number of world prob- lems relating to trade and particularly the limitation of trade restrictions. “Agreement with reference to any of these subjects has been reserved for the world monetary and economic confer- | ence itself. “It was never the purpose of the present discussions to conclude definite | agreements. They were designed to ex- plore and to map out the territory to be | covered. This purpose has been admir- ably served by the conversations which | have taken place.” Veers to Arms Deadlock. But, with the call of M. Hgrriot for his private talk with Mr. velt, the conversation veered very decidedly to Geneva Conference. Tonight the President, Mr. Mac- Donald and M. Herriot are to meet in- formally at dinner and later receive members of the Senate and House For- eign Relations Committees. Mr. MacDonald, who is a guest at the White House, conferred briefly last night before dinner with M. Herriot, who is stopping at the Mayflower Hotel. They met in the White House. CONVICTED JUROR FLEES TERM IN FOSHAY CASE | Mrs. Genevieve Clark Being Sought | With U. 8. Warrant to Force Six-Month Penalty. By the Associated Press. ST.

When she failed to ap- pear, the bench warrant was issued. Federal marshals last night learned Mrs. Clark and her husband and two children had left their home some time | Sunday night. Mrs. Clark was held in contempt on grounds she failed to reveal former em- ployment by a W. B. Foshay enterprise and that her husband had business with two of the defendants. The trial grew out of the collapse of the Foshay companies in 1929. o PRINCE WILHELM BARES WEDDING PLANS FOR MAY Hohenzollern Heir Believed to Have Regounced Claims to Throne as Banns Are Published. By the Assoclated Press. BONN, Germany, April 25.—Prince Wilhelm, 26-year-old son of former Crown Prince Preiderich Wilhelm, will be married in the middle of May to Dorothea von Salviati, member of an aristocratic Italian family which resides in Germany. The banns for the marriage were published yesterday. Prince Wilhelm had been considered the most likely member of the Hohen- zollern family to ascend the throne in event the monarchy was restored until his surprise engagement was announced. Now, it is said, he has renounced his claims. A representative of his exiled grand- father, the former Kaiser, visited him recently. It was reported the former Kaiser was deeply disappointed by the engagement, but the Prince said the talk with his representative was “har- —_— B B mm%%@m D) GULDENS g\ Mustard g INUTE YSTERY Can You.

THOMAS PLANS 19;6 RACE IF U. S. KEEPS PRESIDENT Defeated Socialist Candidate De- clares Roosevelt Returned Banks to Bankers’ Control. By the Associated Press. DAYTON, Ohio, April 25.—Norman ‘Thomas, twice-defeated Socialist candi- date for President, said in an address last night that “if the United States still has Presidents by 1936, I may be in the running again.” President Roosevelt, he said, made a mistake when he failed to nationalize all banks after the recent bank holiday. “He gave them back to the bankers again,” Thomgs declared. ‘The country is nearer war now than at any time since the World War, ‘Thomas observed, after describing Mr. Roosevelt’s reforestation program as it militarism cannot ] DAVIS TAKES LEAD Delegations While Waiting New Instructions. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, April 25—While awaiting definite instructions from W:.shmnonl which are expected to be an outgrowth of the Roosevelt-MacDonald-Herriot disarmament conversations, Norman H. Davis, American arms representative, : vigorously attacked the disarmament | problem prior to today's opening ses- sion of the Arms Conference. Mr. Davis saw the British delegation, Count Rudolf Nadolny of Germany and | Arthur Henderson, president of the conference, with the object of speed- ing up procedure. Informal talks by delegates to the meeting concentrated on the Washing- ton conversations, and the opinion was general that they would give new and needed impetus to the arms parley. The conference has reached the stage of considering concrete proposals for arms reductions, which it is agreed are tied up inextricably with the meas- ures for economic recovery being sifted at _the Roosevelt talks. Heretofore disarmament, like eco-) nomic recovery, has been impeded by moral apprehension for the future. | Norman H. Davis, United States Am- bassador at large, is here to put the same vigor in this Conference that President Roosevelt is injecting in the broader field of problems. The main task is to allay fears of European na- | tions _that their national soil may be | invaded. Difficult Road Ahead. The resumption of disarmament ef- forts is centered about Franco-Ger- man relations. The opinion is ex- pressed by most delegates that if France and Germany would reach an arma- ment agreement the whole problem of disarmament would take on a new aspect and soon find a solution. Until, however, Prance and Germany get together, perhaps through the | channel of Mussolini’s four-power di- | rectorate for Europe peace efforts, and | supplement the Locarno pact of peace on the Rhine by peace agreements wider in their scope, it is believed the Disarmament Conference will continue to find the sledding very hard. France continues to put international security against aggression in front of | disarmament and will adhere appar- | ently to her policy 6f making progres- | sive disarmament contingent upon and | proportional to progressive security | against war and the certainty of mu- tual assistance to any state that be- | comes the victim of an aggressor. | Fights Versailies Limits. | On the other hand, Germany is con- vinced the military clauses of the treaty of Versailles can no longer check her as a great world power. Just as reparations have gone by the board, so does Germany believe the inequality of | armaments created by the treaty of Versailles should no longer exist. She wants the right to arm up to the !level of other nations or wants the other nations to come down to her level, pointing out that the treaty in | question itself demands progressive dis- armament of all. At all events, the conference will re- sume with determination to study piece- meal the British draft convention which. | like former Secretary of State Hughes' | draft presented at the opening of the | Washington Naval Conference, has the | advantage of containing concrete fig- | ures. Germany, under this project, gets {00,000 soldiers in the home country with none for overseas, the reason be- | ing that Germany lost her colonies un- | cer the Versailles treaty. France gets 200,000 at home and an additional 200,000 troops for her colonies. Seek Aviation Control. Ttaly gets 200,000 for her homeland | | with an extra 50,000 for overseas pos- ! | sessions.

Definite decisions in regard to the ‘Washington conversations were deferred because Edouard Herriot's reports of last night's talk with President Roose- velt had not been received.
