His sentiments were criticized as
Offending the feelings of justice, detri-

cry, weakening respect for international
obligations on which peace depends,
fostering conflict and hampering dis

the partition of its territory.

out and ran over to Miller. He
was already on his feet regretting
that he had stopped the party.

The joint statement issued by
President Hoover and Premier Laval
at the conclusion of their CONVERSE
lions at the White House yesterday
follows:
The traditional friendship between
the United States and France, the
absence of all controversy between
our two governments, q record Of
many events in collaboration toward
peace of the world, embracing among
its recent phases the adoption of the
Kellogg BRAND pact, render it pos
sible and opportune for the repre-
sentatives of our governments to
explore every aspect Of the many
problems in which we are mutually
interested.
Indeed, the duty of statesmen Is
not to overlook any means Of prac-
teal cooperation for the common
good, This Is particularly true at q
time when the world looks for lead
ership in relief from a depression
which reaches into countless homes
In every land. Relations of mutual
confidence between governments have
the most important bearing upon
speeding the recovery which we seek.
We have engaged upon that mission
with entire frankneSs. We have made
real progress.
We canvaSsed the economic situa-
ton in the world, the trends in in
ternational relations bearing upon it,
the problems of the Forthcoming
conference for limitation and re-
duction Of ornaments, the effect Of
the depression on payments under
ntergovernmental debts, the stabili-
zation of international exchanges and
other financial and economical sub
jects.
Discussion Cordial.
An informal and cordial discussion
has served to outline with greater
precision the nature of the problem.
It has not been the purpose of either
Of US to engage In commitments
binding our governments, but rather,
through DEVELOPMENTS Of fact, to en-

able each country to act more ef-
fectively in its own field.
It Is our joint purpose that the
Conference for Limitation of Arma-
ments will not fail to take advantage
Of the great opportunity which pre-
sentS itself and that it will be ca
pable of meeting what is in reality
its true mission-that Is, the organi-
cation on a firm foundation Of per-
manent peace.
In so far as intergovernmental OBJ
legations are concerned we recog-
nize that, prior to the expiration of
the Hoover year Ct poStponement,
some agreement regarding them may
be necessary covering the period of
business depression, as to the terms
and conditions of which the two
governments make all reservations.
The initiative In this matter should
be taken at an early date by the
European powers principally con-
cerned within the framework of the
agreements existing prior to July /,
1881.
Stability Is Stressed.
Our especial emphasis has been
upon the more important means
governments could be exerted toward
restoration of economic stability and
confidence. Particularly we are con-
WINGED Of the importance CT none
tary stability as an essential factor
in the restoration of normal eco
nomic life in the world in which
the maintenance of the gold stand
ard in France and the United States
will serve as a major influence.
1t Is our intent to continue to
study methods for the maintenance
of stability In international ex-
changes.
While in the short time at our
disposal it has not been possible to
formulate definite programs, we find
that We view the nature of these
financial and economic problems in
the same light and that this under
standing on our part should serve to
pave the way for helpful action by
our respective governments.

Hoover advised Europe 1t must get to-

war debts also. He did not, 1t was re-
marked, address himself to France and
Germany alone.

country might be placed at the mercy
of France II the Washington parleys
failed to accomplish joint solution

cial newspapers said today that smaller
banks and business men who have been
Withdrawing credit balances from the
United States have taken new conf
dence in the dollar as q result OF the
conferences between President Hoover
and Premier Laval
One outcome Of these meetings, the
papers agreed, Is that the European
signatcries to the Young plan. prob
ably under the leadership Of France,
must confer regarding any alteration Of
that plan affecting German repara-
tons payments, for II is not thought
likely now that the Hoover moratorium
will be extended. and relief under the
New Relief Il Expected.
In some quarters the belief was ex-
pressed that the Franco American con-
versations have only begun, and that
some way may be found to rescue
Hredits frozen in Germany by some new
form Of economic relief.
The newspapers generally found sup
port for the French thesis regarding
Tournament and security in phrase

Washington to the effect that the real
task of next years disarmament con-
ference is establishment of a durable
organization for peace.

Premier Laval that the United States
does not want to commit itself in adj
vance, but wants rather to reserve the
right to examine each development on
Its merits. The newspapers correspond
ent characterized this viewpoint as
reasonable.
BRAND Held Pleased.
An oficial Of the foreign ONCE said
Aristide BRAND, the foreign minister,
was pleased with the Washington
communique, particularly with the
points concerning disarmament and q
return to the Young plan in case Of q
further German moratorium.
Stephane Lausanne, French political
writer, called the outcome OF the con-
versations q victory for common sense,

Incarnation" in commenting IN lie Matin.
I'VE induced America to conform her
attitude to ours on at least one capital
point" he said. ''It is q great thing
to succeed on one point. 1t permits
hope for success on others some day.
lie Journal said Premier Laval upheld
all Frances positions and that the
mutual understanding between the

have lasting results.

ment q favorable reception for the
reasons stated in lie Journal, but the
