Plans Moro Messages
The chief executive promised sew.
cral more messages to congress. HI
set no date for submitting the one
year moratorium on inter-govern-
mental debts, but did say foreign re-
lations would be a topic to be dis
cussed later.
Neither was there any mention o.
prohibition. He plans in the coming
weeks to forward recommendations
for strengthening law enforcement
and judicial procedure.
As to Muscle Shoals. he promised
to transmit to capitol hill the report
Of the Alabama Tennessee war oe-
partment committee which favored
private operation Of the huge war
time plant.
He commended the interstate COM
merce commission conclusions on
railroad consolidation and related
matters for early consideration.
During the next few months he
will also send to the legislators sug-
gestions for further reorganization
and consolidation among federal de-
partments. These will apply particu.
larly to the department Of the inte-
rior, headed by Secretary Wilbur.
Hopes for Naval Cut
The president led off saying, II
the world Is to regain its standards
Of life. it must further decrease both
naval and other arms" He saw hope
III the coming Geneva disarmament
conference and II, naval negotiations
between France and Italy.
Skipping quickly over the world
map, he spoke Of revolutions or acute
social disorders In 10 countries and
the resultant economic effect upon
America. He mentioned the Sino'
Japanese difficulty with great con-
cern."
The United States, he said, would
sustain the spirit of its peace treaties
and those assuring the territorial in.
tegrity OF China"
The chief executive found much
difficulty to have arisen from the
suhstraction OF $l,l00, ,000, 900 from

= weakness, too. in the increased
bank assets invested in long-tern
securities which sometimes lose theil
liquidity.
"Thc situation arises largely from
an unjustificd lack Of confidence.
