Associated Press Day Wire Service VOLUME LIV. No. 143. Hitch In. Plans 4 Of Dolla Woodin’s Statement. On Proposition Has Much Influence On Conference In Session (By Associated Press) LONDON, June 16.—A hitch in While the French gracefully ac- ceded to the Ameriena demand for the appointment of James M. Cox as head of the monetary commit- tee, they viewed with apprehen- sion late reports of a change in Plans to peg the dollar. - Seeretary Woodin's. statement that the United States has not agreed to any currency stabiliza- tion proposals in the meanwhile had an important influence on the conference, The resaon assigned here for the impasse was that Washington’s approvah was not forthcoming. At the close of yeserday’s meet- ing it was known some delegates col the “understanding” which reportedly had been reached under which the dollar will be tied to a definite value within forty- eigh the first major 1 } it hours as achievement of the conference. » Brings’ Crisis VARIOUS VIEWS ENTERTAINED ON RECOVERY ISSUE) STATED MANY BELIEVE EMERGENCY PROGRAM WILL END WITH ADJOURN- MENT OF CONGRESS By BYRON PRICE (Chief.Of Bureau, The Associated ig Press, Washington). ‘ It-is a great mistake—indulged in just now by large numbers. of, the American people—to speak of the adjournment of congress as marking completion of the Roose- velt emergency program for re- covery. No such view is held by the re- sponsible officials of the admin- istration, They are gratified, na- turally, by the législative accom- plishments of the special session and by the almost unprecedented success by Mr, Roosevelt's legisla- tive leadership. . But they realize very keenly that the real proof of the new democratic pudding still is to come. The fact that congress has voted ‘extraordinary powers into the president's hands will mean much or little according to the manner in which those powers are used. Nearly all of the avenues to ac- tion opened up by the new legis- lation are optional. The burden now is on the White’ House to chodse what it will do and to make a go of the particular meas- ures it selects. By mid-June only a negligible percentage of the emergency pro- 2 gram had come into operation at were two possible ways of in- creasing Germany’s capacity to meet her international debts, first! by giving her an African empire where large public works schemes could be through, or second hy opening other terri- tories “to this people which has not enough space in which to live.” The document wes largely a plea for debt alleviation, and set forth German views of world evisis, saying Germany was “at the head of the battle against complete destruction of occident,” and “if Germany perishes all other people will perish with her.” TRIO HAD BEEN HERE IN IN- TEREST OF COMPANY'S OPERATIONS —_—- R. J. Hopper, L. T. Clopton and J. H. Cornell, officials of the Southern Bell Telephone company, who were in Key West for a few days with T. H. Pittman, local manager, left yesterday for head- quarters in Miami and Jackson-! ville. | The odject of the visit was to! determine the source of the dam- age being done to cables of the company by electrolysis, The ef-| fects have been discovered but the origin bas not been definitely de-| termined, The Citizen was told. | At some time in the near future} the officials will return to make a} all. : ‘The budget still is out of balance and must remain so for months to come. The economy measures an/! new taxes become effective at various times over the coming year. The industries bili cannot op- erate, even on partial basis, until time has been afforded for setting up a tremendous administrative machine. Not a spadeful of earth can be turned under the public works project for weeks and per- haps’ months to come. The Tennessee valley develop- ment exists thus far only on paper and the conservation corps is only partially recruited. The administration merely has nibbled at currency expansion. No one has been prosecuted for hoard- ing gold. A large proportion of the banks still are closed, and reor- ganization proceeds slowly. The securities reform act doesnot be- come effective until late July. Those ‘charged w.th administra; tion of the farm relief law have not even reached the point of choosing which of the authorized alternatives to adopt. The new farm and home credit facilities still are in process of organization. The Machinery's Ready These facts have not been a basis for adverse criticism, even among the republicans. Consider- ing the magnitude of the problems | involved, the general disposition is against too hasty action. The facts do show, however, how unwarranted is any assump- tion:that “it is all over but the shouting.” Congress has. provided j certain powerful and intricate ma- chinery, but it remains for Mr: Roosevelt to demonstrate how this; machinery will work. Realizing this, Washington is all the more heartened by current evi- derices of confidence and rising! price levels, | If 40 much has been accomplish- | { Job eo By NOEL THORNTON (By Associated Press) LAKE TIORATI, N.
