MACDONALD SALS; PLEASED BY VISIT Prime Minister Pleads for English-Speaking Nations to Work Together. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 27.—Prime Min- ister j. Ramsay MacDonald of Great Nitain sailed homeward today, leaving behind him a solemn plea to the Amer- ican and British peoples to pull together in the struggle back to prosperity. Addressing a gathering of the Pil- grims of the United States, MacDonald expressed the hope last night that the two English-speaking nations will “sit on the same side of the table” at the International Economic Conference. He called for a joint effort to defeat what he termed the “influence of dis- ruption” rampant in the world. He was asking no “alliance,” he emphasized. “An alliance is a bargain,” he said. “Of what use is a bargain except for | hampering purposes when two hearts <re beating in harmony?" Satisfied With Results. Afterward the Prime Minister, with his daughter Ishbel, boarded the liner Berengaria, thus closing the mission on Which he came to the United States to discuss with President Roosevelt plans for rehabilitating the world. He ex- ressed satisfaction with the results of e visit. Peering into the future, the premier expressed a fervent hope that the statesmen of today might so labor that their grandchilaren might experience “golden years.” to the American President: “When I arrived at the White House,” | he said, “I shook hands with a host | that happened to be your President, as a guest who happened to be the Prime Minister of Great Britain. When I left I shook hands with a host and Presi- dent, who in the brief interval of a long week end had come to be regarded by me as an old and firm friend.” On the side of the conference table with the two English-speaking coun- tries, the prime minister said he de- sired to see “other enlightened nations, other nations that do appreciate their duty to the individual and with cour- age, and yet with reason, face these problems and produce constructive pro- posals for overcoming them.” Financial Leaders Present. One thousand persons filled a hotel ballroom to hear the address. Such notables of the financial world as J. P. Morgan, who rarely appears at such functions; Andrew Mellon and Thomas W. Lamont were present. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler introduced the premier. Before the Berengaria departed late at night the brime minister sent a message to President Roosevelt thank- ing him for his hospitality. Miss MacDonald. fresh and smiling. as she ascended the gangplank, said that her busy round of engagements in America had not tired her at all “It was almost a perfect rest,” she said She, too, accompanied her “au revoir” to America with a plea for international co-operation as the best way to cure the world’s ills. BRITAIN ENCOURAGED. MacDonzld-Roosevelt Conference Here Regarded as Success. LONDON. April 27 (#)—Prime Min- {ster Ramsay MacDonald’s American mission was sealed with the final mark of success in the utterances he made in New York before his departure for home, it was said in government circles today. ‘The prime minister made no mistake throughout his whole American visit, 5o far as is known here by officials who | I He paid high tribute | have kept in closest possible touch with the Washington talks, and he will re- turn to Westminster with undiminished prestige for carrying through the pro- gram arranged with President Roosevelt. The fact that Mr. MacDonald left ‘Washington without announcement of any definite agreements in no way de- tracts from the success of his mission, according to the. British official view, but instead strengthens his hand for preparing for the World Economic Con- ference. Success Is Expected. Informed quarters here assert Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Roosevelt have reached an understanding which ought to insure the success of the World Con- ference. Mr. MacDonald’s statesmanship has scored at Washington, his friends in London declare. With Mr. Roosevelt’s driving power, vigor and decisiveness in the background, ready to be called upon if necessary, the Prime Minister is expected to steer the world parley to a degree of success which British officials hardly dared hope for prior to the MacDonald-Roosevelt meeting. e SPECIAL NOTICES.

Both Show Gairs in Exchange Dealings On London Market. LONDON, April 27 (#).—The dollar, which was “left to look after itself” when America went off the gold stand- ard, appears to be coming back in favor now that the MacDonald-Roosevelt convers-tions have been closed in fav- orable circumstances. Speculators who sold the dollar short some time ago are hurriedly covering as a result of the proposed increase in Britain’s exchange equalization fund. They, along with other purchasers, were in the 1aarket today and the quotation apprecisted five cents, closing at $3.74'2 %o the pound. The franc also improved. It was be- lieved this resulted from operations of the exchange equalization fund, al- vailable regarding those operations. Exchange dealers, however, say there is little coubt that authoritative opera~ REDRAFT STUDIED | ernment employes after 30 years’ serv- | mittee renewed its discussions in execu- | tive session this afternoon. | broad discretionary powers to the (Ployed in the service, regarding the 1 FOR RETIREMENTS House Committee Holds Off" Decision About 30-Year Employes. ‘The House Deficlency Appropriations | Committee had before it today a redraft from the Budget Bureau of the legisla- tive provisions of the independent office | bill, including the retirement of Gov- ice, but no definite decision was reached | at this morning’s session.

The line of thought is that after the present emergency or when the civil service force is enlarged it would be real economy for the Government | to hire back, say on a $2,500 job, a man | who is receiving as annuity $1,200, and thus getting an experienced worker for approximately half the cost of em- ploying a new inexperienced worker. Other Issues Faced. ‘The committee does not expect to be able to report the independent offices appropriation bill carrying these legis- lative riders before next Tuesday. After the retirement provision has been set- tled, there are several other important | legislative questions to be solved, in- cluding the proposed power to the President to abrogate contracts made by the Government. One of the most perplexing pobs for the committee has resuited from a flood of telegrams fro mAmerican Legion posts all over the country opposing the aboli- tion of regional officers. More than 300 of these telegrams have reached the Appropriations Committee direct and an even larger number have been re- ceived by individual members of Con- gress. tions are proceeding with the main ob- ject of preventing violent fluctuations in both the dollar and franc, as well as keeping sterling at a level favorable to_the business of export houses. Robert Lacour-Gayet, French treas- ury expert, was in London today, ap- parently for the purpose of closing negotiations for the loan of francs held in the British government’s exchange equalization fund to France. British official circles characterized the Anglo-French negotiations as a “bookkeeping” arrangement, with bene- fits to both countries, rather than any far-reaghing financial entente. The treasury made no announce- ment today regarding the proposed transactions, but it was learned that authoritative quarters consider that the French gold standard is not endan- gered nor the basis of financial rela- tions of the two countries involved. ‘The position is that the French gov- ernment is reportedly short of current funds on account of slow tax returns and, in order to prevent a drain on French gold reserve, France desires a “bookkeeping” arrangement whereby British franc accounts acquired by ex- Great Britain will enter into this ar- rangement, it was said, because it is of indlirect benefit to Great Britain, mfll th; franc's exchange relation pound. This British view of the Anglo- French negotiations was confirmed by an official American financial observer in London, who said the transaction has no broad significance. He pcinted out that France adopted the same policy last year and that it is a business deal rather than a po- litical move and a good transaction, inasmuch as it provides the French government with funds at a low rate to meet the temporary situation caused by the fact that tax funds are not available. | physical sanctions. As STAR, WASHINGTON, Red Cross Clothes Displayed | [ROOSEVELT ABILITY AMAZES HERRIOT President’s Tactics at Press Conference Astonish His French Visitor: BY CONSTANTINE IIOW.N. ‘There is very little left for President Roosevelt and Edouard Herriot to dis- cuss. Both men have gone as far as possi- ble to iron out the various problems which have been found heretofore in- surmountable, and while no written agreement was necessary, Herriot is re- turning to France with the definite im- pression that many of the questions may be solved in the near future. 1t is no exaggeration to say the rep- resentative of the French republic has been flabbergasted by the abilities of the American President. Yesterday at the joint press conference in the White House. M. Herriot looked amazed at the quickness of the President's re- partee and how easily, and yet grace- fully, he evaded questions he did not care to answer. The expression of the Frenchman's face was just as plain as if he had | said, “How does he do it?” There is | no doubt that whatever M. Herriot may have accomplished in Washington for his country, he certainly has accom- plished a good deal for himself in learning the Roosevelt way of handling the press. E $19,000,000 to Be Paid. During the conversations yesterday morning, the former French premier assured Mr. Roosevelt that the $19,000,- 000 which the French Chamber refused to pay last December will be paid soon after his return to Paris. He explained that the Chamber of Deputies refused to make these payments because it had not sufficient assurances that the ques- tion of the revision of the war debts would be taken up by the American Government. ¢ This belief was based on the fac that in its note accepting the invitation to attend the World Economic Con- ference, the American Government stated emghlucalxy that it would' not tolerate the discussion of war debts. Now that the administration has stated that war debts form an integral part of the settlement of the world economic problems, the French Chamber will, without doubt, ratify the payment of the delayed installment, knowing that this will be the last the debtor nations will be required to pay under the old debt- funding agreements. It is probable that this payment will be made some time in the middle of M: ut the most important assurance M. Herriot is taking with him back to France is the promise of the President that America will join the other nations in contriving some new instrument of peace to give France the much-needea | security without which the French do | not want to disarm. What form such a new peace instru- ment will take is uncertain, but it is believed the United States will join an economic and financial blockade against any aggressor nation. League to Define Aggressor. The aggressor will be defined by the League of Nations, to which the United States will send an observer during the | debates. It is said in high quarters that while America, agreeing to partici- | pate in such a consultation for the pur- | pose of defining the aggressor, will at | the same time maintain its freedom of action in case it does not agree with the decision of the League. But even such a limited participation of the United States in the debates for the definition of the aggressor nation is considered by M. Herriot as sufficient to allay France's fears of being invaded by some of her neighbors, because America taking a hand in the world political turmoil will change the moral sanctions provided in the Kellogg-Briand pact into actual a result of the Roosevelt-MacDonald and Roosevelt-Herriot conversations, America is taking now a much more disarmament parleys. Heretofore the American delegates confined their main activities to trying to bring the con- flicting nations to some kind of a agreement, by talking to their delegates and pointing out the advantages they may eventually derive from coming to an understanding. Ambassador Davis’ hand has been considerably strength- ened during the last 48 hours by his knowledge that the United States Gov- ernment has something positive to offer to the hesitant European powers and that within the next few weeks the pow- ers desiring disarmament will form a solid block against those which do not want it, and that France with the new assurances it has received here, would not hesitate to accept a constructive dis- armament proposition. The work of the economic experts is also coming to an end today. Their la- bors have not been conclusive and were not_expected to be. ‘There were a number of questions on which the interested countries were far apart. These questions were tabulated, with each delegation expressing clearly its point of view. Once this was done, they discussed the possible ways out to reach an agreement at the London Eco- nomic Conference. While this may not appear constructive, it is of utmost im- portance, Conferences Handicapped. The previous conferences have been handicapped by a complete lack of preparation. The delega of various nations and their experts met at Geneva or in London, each delegation knowing its own point of view and only ely the point of view and the needs of the other delegation. The chief delegates met and found themselves in complete d ent because they not taken in consideration some particular needs of the other country. Then the experts were summoned in haste and ordered to study the question in a hurry. The press generally got wind of what was going on, stories of disagrer- ments were cabled or wired immediately and the delegates working under an in- tense nervouse tension were annoyed at the stubbornness of the other party. ‘The newspaper dispatches were gen- erally confirmed by the political dele- gates and the conference had to work under a more or less poisoned atmos- phere. This happened at most impor- tant conferences and was one of the main reasons why they never succeeded. It has been admitted by all delegates at the London Naval Conference that had the details been worked out more carefuly that conference would have been a success and would have bmuglex‘: greatly the effect of the agreement. It is this situation which the nations want to avold today by coming to dis- cuss in Washington the! . Every lar sent its representatives and experts to Washington has been able to find out clearly the main points of di-| vergence Wwith the United States and| with each other. They have not been ! settled, but when the delegates meet in London the difficull will not be: new to them and their experts would | have had already a contact with Financial circles interpret the situa- tion as another indication of Great Britain's strengthened position in in- ternational exchange dealings.

It is indicated here that announcements regarding such a pact must come at the disarmament conference. Confers With Bennett, Prime Minister Bennett of Canada Secretary of State Hull and their as- sistants went to the White House this morning for a conference with the President. At 2:30 p.m. it is expected that the President will sit down again in conference with M. Herriot, former prime minister of France, to go furthe- into their discussions of the disarm: ment and economic problems. At the conclusion of their morning session, the following joint statement was issued in the name of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Bennett: “The prime minister of Canada and t! the program of the world economic conference and related questions of trade policy in which these two neigh- boring republics have an important and an immediate concern. “They have found this exchange of views very helpful. “Present also were the Canadian Minister, the Secretary of State and Assistant Secretary of State Raymond Moley.” President, Roosevelt's willingness to co- operate on impcrtant questions such as tariffs, war debts and disarmament has been indicated clearly to the repre- have come to Washington. Much will depend upon the extent to which these governments also are willing to co- operate if the great measure of success they now hope for is to be achieved. Up until today the President in his conversations with M. Herriot had gone particularly into the question of dis- armament. The French government has always insisted that security against aggression is a prerequisite to agree- | ments to cut armaments. It is believed that the willingness of the American Government to strengthen the Kellogg- Briand peace treaty by arranging for consultation among the nations in the event of threat of war will be extremely helpful. The report from Paris that Premier Daladier had said France would pay the December debt installment to this country in the event some agreement was reached for a postponement of the approaching June debt payment until after the Economic Conference in Lon- don was regarded as another hopeful sign. In informed quarters here it was said that if some agreement can be reached reducing trade barriers, in- cluding tariffs, so that .international trade can flow more freely, there might be a change in the attitude of foreign nations toward the payment of the foreign debts. They would be in a better position, it was said, to make those payments if they could dispose of their goods more easily in this country. Have Common Problems. ‘The President’s conversation with Prime Minister Bennett of Canada was expected to deal particularly with the tariff. Both the President and Mr. Bennett are believed to look with favor on much freer exchange of goods be- tween the two countries. Canada and the United States have problems in common. Mr. Bennett, on his arrival here, sounded a note of optimism and declared strongly that there must be a large ee of co-operation among the nations to bring about economic recovery. Mr. Bennett takes the posi- tion that the Ottawa Conference agree- ments, by which the British Empire granted preferential treatment to fits component parts, would not interfere with reaching agreements with other nations regarding tariffs. It has been suggested that any agreements the President and Mr. Bennett reach on tariffs as between the two countries would be separate from understandings President Roosevelt and Mr. Bennett might reach with regard to the London Conference. Mr. Bennett is a White House guest, going there after the departure yester- day of Prime Minister Ramsay Mac- Donald of Great Britain. Mr. Bennett is to be guest of honor at a formal din- ner at the White House tonight, while L is to be a guest at the French embassy at dinner. According to present plans, both M.
