PARLEY IS DENIED
Delegation at Geneva. De.
cIares Rumors of Trade Me-
gotiations Are Unfounded.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
GENEVA, May 23.-The American
delegation to the International Eco.
nomic Conference issued a statement
today denying 'categorically rumors
that negotiations have been going on
between the American delegates and
those of Soviet Russia concerning
loans and commercial credits.
The statement, which was prompted
by the publishing of these rumors in
some European newspapers, empha-
sized that no member of the American
delegation was empowered to conduct
such negotiations.
The American and Soviet represent.
ativeS have met in various confer
ences and social gatherings, it was
stated, where courteous and correct
conversations We're exchanged, "but on
no occasion has any Soviet member
raised the questions of political recog-
milton or trade agreements on credits.
which certainly would not have been
discussed had they been raised"
Denial Is Sweeping.
The statement adds that as far as
the American delegation knows there
have been no negotiations at Geneva
between any American and Russian
private citizens.
John William O'Leary, American
banker and member of the American
delegation, today urged the desirable.
ity of enterprise for the development
of new world resources and of re-
sources now inadequately utilized.
He predicted that such enterprise
would result in better employment
conditions and an increase in purchas.
ing power.
Henry M. Robinson, also an Ameri.
con delegate, previously had recon-
mended the placing of capital in un.
developed countries such as Morocco.
Soviet Lends Support.
With Soviet support, a resolution
urging world peace through the elimi.
nation of economic difficulties which
are the cause of friction between
nations was adopted at today's plen-
ary session of the conference. The
resolution was introduced by Arthur
Pugh, British labor leader.
Later M. Rostrung of the Soviet
delegation. said that the resolution
had been supported because anything
which favored the peaceful collabora-
ton of divergent economic systems
was the greatest help to international
harmony.
The Pugh resolution did not men
ton the Soviet system, merely de-
claring that the maintenance of peace
depends largely on the principles
upon which the economic policies of
nations were framed and executed,
and recommended the establishment
Of recognized principles which would
remove economic misunderstanding.
Swedish Proposal Adopted.
The Soviet delegation likewise
approved a Swedish resolution, also
adopted, which urged closer interna-
tional cooperation among scientific
and educational institutions and the
press for the enlightenment of the
public to secure general incorpora-
ton of the economic code at the con-
ference. The Soviet delegation, how
ever, complained that this code did
not take adequate account Of the
Soviet system.

overproduction brings in it's train re-
suits much more serious in losses
which small operators are suffering
than in any burdens placed on the
larger and stronger companies" Mr..
Work said.
Indeed, the competition in an over
supplied market, between oil from new
flush pools and oil from small wells in
old fields, may cause the abandonment
Of producing wells of the type that
constitute stable production. Destroy
ing small producers widely distributed
and infiicting serious loss to the Ma
ton. Prices below cost, If long con.
tinued, have that result and the privi-
lege of profitable operation must be
secured, If possible. to the small pro-
ducers, whose aggregate output is
large and will be needed by the con-
sumers when the present period of
surplus is past.
Fayors Conservation In Ground.
"As the administrator of Govern
ment oil leases the Secretary of the
Interior has believed it to be the Gov
ernment's interest to conserve oil in
the ground, at time when overpro-
duction contributes to waste of that
oil above ground. 1t may interest

there is today an actual shut-in produc-
ton of 10000 barrels day---produc-
ton practically all of which can be

Work Warns Executives OF

Are in Danger.

The Government is putting into ef-
feet practical conservation of its oil
resources by Withholding from produc-
tion wells capable of an output of 800
600 barrels day because production is
unnecessary and Improbable. Secreta-
ry of the Interior Work, chairman of
the Federal Oil Conservation Board,
told group of oil industry executives
this afternoon at a conference called
by the industry to discuss methods of
conserving the Nations oil resources.
Calling the attention of the oil COM
pany executives to the fact that the
oil conservation board has not the
power to approve or prescribe any
definite plan or fix IL limitation upon
legitimate private initiative, Mr.. Work
said the oil industry needs its business
stabilized, and the public should be
assured of adequate supply and free
dom from price fluctuations.
Conservation measures will be
justified and become popular with

are directed toward lowering cost Of
