LONDON, June 19.—Adjourn- ment of the World Economic Con- ference until the question of sta- pilization of currencies can be; pettled was advocated today in| ‘the conference headquarters lobby by the European gold bloc. It was understood the French were fostering this program on the ground that no progress was pos- sible on other lines until some form of stabilization had been achieved. The adjournment talk was entirely unofficial, but it was so persistent and | far-reaching that it was being privately | discussed by the heads of the important delegations. In the gold bloc group, which is‘ headed by France, a month to six| weeks was mentioned s the probable | Jength of the adjournment. i France and her adherents asserted that everything rests with Washington and that there is no use trying to con- tinue the conference until h"asxdent!

ENVOYS OF FRANCE AND BELGIUM OPEN PARLEYS ON DEBT Call on Acting Secretary Phillips After Being Re- minded of Default. By the Associated Press. America’s firm stand against con- sidering revision of the war debts of | nations now in default brought the | Ambassadors of France and Belgium to | the State Department today for con- ferences with acting Secretary Phillips. No sooner had Ambassador de La- boulaye, seeking information to com- municate to the Paris government, been admitted to Mr. Phillips’ office, than Ambassador May of Belglum arrived. He waited until the conference of the French diplomat had ended and then discussed the Belgium position with the acting Secretary. Forcibly Reminded. i In formal notes dispatched over the | week end, both countries were forcibly reminded of their two defaulted pay- ments. 3 ‘When the countries which have paid in whole or part were told the United States was ready to discuss debts with them, a plea for a new debt study from France, Belgium and Poland was ignored. Later Ambassador Petek of Poland ained that the central visited the acting Secretary, aiso seeking | e followed the situa- | information regarding the debt situa- | tion. He, too, emphasized that he | brought no new proposition. However, it was regarded as signifi- cant that the diplomats of the three | nations had approached the acting Sec- | retary on the debt question at approxi- | mately the same time, following the developments of the week end. | President Roosevelt intends to start | debt talks late in July, but France and other nations which have defaulted the |last two installments must stand aside for the time being. | Prance, having paid nothing on her $19,000,000 December or $40,000.000 June installments, was not among those ! nations to be placed immediately on the conference list. Besides that, she was informed officially that the United States must, “in all frankness, call at- tention to the problems raised” by the December default. The French suggestion that she would like to discuss debts was passed up without comment in the American note a note agreeing to confer and praising the country for having met “an im- portant national obligation.” Italy, in- formed that her $1.000,000 payment on a $14,000,000 instaliment might be re- garded as “unsubstantial” nevertheless was told that the United States “will be glad to confer with you in regard to this matter.” PARIS TO STUDY ISSUE.

By the Associated Press. The administration has now made clear it will not subscribe to any immediate currency sta- ‘bilization plan that might inter- | fere with the present upward movement of American prices. | In view of this, it was believed |in Washington today that any | temporary agreement for control- | ing the fluctuation of currencies which may be worked out at the | London Economic Conference | would not involve any fixation of | the dollar’s value, and would be | extremely elastic in nature. | Furthermore, the specific new in- | structions which went to the delegates last Saturday explained that the Amer- ican representatives are to make no commitments until Washington has been consulted. - Decisions here will all hinge on the word of vacationing President Roosevelt. Disliked Control Method. Officials here have emphasized that his disapproval of the first plan sub- mitted was evoked by the methcd of control contemplated and is not to be interpreted as meaning that America will persistently decline to enter into a permanent stabilization agreement. On the contrary, Mr. Roosevelt is | not only ready, but anxious, when he believes the proper time arrives, to join in such an arrangement. But during the months preceding the | London Conference he consistently de- clined to be drawn into any of the sev- eral moves for a de facto stabilization. Principal reason has been shown to be Mr. Roosevelt's concern lest any cir- cumstance interrupt the present up- ward price movement, a solicitude which runs through all the legislation of his domestic program. The Chief Executive wants the do- mestic price level to reach a satisfs tory height. presumably the level of 1926. befcre anything is dome to halt this inflationary course. Also, the President will enter no agreement that might tie his hands for employing his | authority to initate a controlled infla- | tion of the American currency when | &nd if it is needed. The attitude of the American Gov- ernment was explained at the Treasury today, where it was said no new plan had reached Washington since the one .rej]ecbed last week by President Roose- velt. It was emphasized that this Govern- ment was not trying to minimize the importance of currency stabilization, but felt this was only one of the many things which should be considered in a general scheme of settling the world | economic ills. Acheson Explains Attitude. The belief was expressed that the London conference should see that na- tions revise their monetary system, along with action to place their budgets on a sound basis and not on tariff and | disarmament proposals. d This Government, it was said, is not taking any attitude whatsoever on the question of stablization of currency, but does not yet see where any great | benefit would accrue from a temporary stablization. The attitude of the American Gov- | ernment was explained by Dean Ache- son, acting Secretary of the Treasury. He said the American delegates at the | conference had received definite in- structions from the President. Officials previously had said that no point at stabilizing the dollar had been suggested. It was added today that the Government is not intervening to sup- port the dollar, but is keeping hands off the situation and following the Presi- dent’s announcement in April that the | dollar would have to seek its own level. | ARMS MEETING DELAYED. Steering Committee to Convene at Geneva June 27. LONDON, June 19 (#) —Arthur Hen- derson, president of the Disarmament Conference, informed members of that body’s general commission today that in view of the pressure of work on| delegates at the World Economic Con- ference it does not seem advisable to| summon a meeting of the bureau, or | steering committee, at London.

Shortly before 2 p.m. a Walter Reed Hospital ambulance left Washington for Leonardtown to bring Maj. Kirby here. Maj.

For gallantry in action during the Meuse-Argonne offensive, November 9 and 10, 1918, Maj. Kirby was cited in Army orders. He was awarded the | Silver Star citation.

EXACT DETAILS LACKING ON SERVICE DISABILITIES Burden of Proving Source of In- jury to Be Put on Government. By the Associated Press. Plans to set up boards early in July to review cases of veterans whose dis- abilities are presumed to have orig- inated in the service were being laid today by the Veterans’ Administration, to carry out the Roosevelt program for liberalizing benefits to former soldiers from the reductions made by the econ- omy law.

They could not say whether the re- viewing boards would be set up in each State or by areas, or what the pro- cedure would be, other than to express the opinion the boards would auto- matically review each presumptive case before the veteran was dropped from the compensation rolls, rather than each veteran having to apply for a review. The law provides that, on the boards to be set up by the President, the ma- Jority of members shall not be em- ployes of the Veterans’ Administration. They will determine, in reviewing the so-called presumptive cases, whether the veteran shall be granted the pre- sumption of service conmection for his disability or ailment. Under the law of 1924, voided by the economy act, several types of diseases were presumed to have originated in Army service, such as tuberculosis and neuro-psychiatric troubles.
