WORLD PEACE HANGS
ON ECONOMIC AMITY
President Serruys Holds Financial
Difficulties More Dangerous
Than Political.

GENEVA LP).-The United States is
extending its collaboration with the
League of Nations on economic ques-
tions. In this connection President
Daniel Serruys of the Leagues economic
committee told newspaper men here
that more than ever world peace &C.
pends on the achievement {. jast eco~
nomic agreements.
Mr.. Serruys. who has long been the
economic expert of the French govern
ment. declared there was no limit to
what the League could do with refer
ence to economic problems, though its
action might be limited as regards po-
litical matters. However. he deemed
economical difficulties more dangerous
than political differences, because they
struck at the very root of the life of
nations.
The economic committee has In
augurated an extensive examination of
