AS ARMS CUT AID
Administration Believes Dis
armament Will Result From
Suspension.
Hx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A long stride toward world disarma-
ment was viewed by the administration
today as a possible outsta nding result
of the one-year suspension payments on
war debts.
President Hoover hopes that the gen.
eral disarmament conference at Geneva
next February will bring about curtan-
ment of the growing costs OF armies,
navies and Notifications and thereby
ease the worlds economic burdens.
Three times in the past three months
the Chief Executive has linked world
economic rehabilitation with the sue
cess of the forthcoming disarmament
conference. In announcing the agree
ment of the major powers on the debt
holiday, Mr.. Hoover stressed that
among the causes Of the worldwide
economic depression are 1.-The burdens
imposed and the fears aroused by COM

DEBT PLAN HELPS
WORLD BUSINESS
Better Sentiment and Gen.
eraI Conditions Reflected
Almost Universally.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Hoover debt suspension proposal
was credited today by Commerce De-
partment officials with having brought
about an improved business sentiment
throughout the world.
The department said study of re-
ports from several widely separated
foreign countries since the war debt
postponement plan was announced
business unquestionably had been good.
What material effect the plan will have,
however, has yet to be learned.
Optimism Is Shown.
Great Britain, Italy. Hungary and
Czechoslovakia showed, the experts
said, the greatest feeling of optimism,
while conditions in Japan were more
encouraging, with those In the Dutch
East Indies and the Philippines some
what better. Those in Asia and South
America were not materially changed.
In a survey of current business, the
department said, domestic business de-
clined in May, but indications were that
June experienced considerable improve
ment. Although the May employment
situation showed declines, the depart
ment described 1t as better than usual
for that season.
The psychological effect of the debt
suspension plan was termed by DR.. H.
Taylor of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce as good. He added
that 1t was well timed, coming as 1t
did after the unexpected slump during
May" and noted st was calculated to
give business men a better feeling"
Although returns of June car load
ings are incomplete, indications OF an
increase we're apparent. Better than
seasonal production Of electric power
and automobiles was reported for June.
Building Falls Of.
In its survey Of May business condi-
tions the department noted that general
activity, after allowing for normal sea-
sonal changes, fell back to level al
most equaling that of March. 1t ex-
planned that among the basic manu-
featuring industries iron and steel
showed a decline greater than sea-
sonal Automobile production indicated
no change as compared with April and
