PRESIDENT HOOVER AND
 PREMIER LAVAL END
 THEIR CONVERSATIONS

WASHINGTON. Oct, 28, P)- President Hoover and Premier Laval, having concluded their conversations, issued a joint com munication in which they declar- cd they had reviewed every as- pect of many problems in which we are mutually interested and have made real progress"
 Most important among conclu- Slons set forth in the official statement, was that covering the possibility of an extension of the Hoover Moratorium. We recog- nlze', said the communication that prior to the expiration of the Hoover year of postponement, an agreement regarding the inter- governmental obligations may be necessary covering the period of business depression.
 The statement made clear that neither man intended the confer ence tc make bindi..g commit ments on either party but stated they had placeu ;n ,oasis npcn the economic welfare of the world Particularly the We concerned of the importance of monetary sta bllity as an essential factor in the restoration of normal economic
 life in the world, in which the maintenance of the gold standard in France and the United States will serve as a major influence.
 A partial agreement in their ef- forts to seek way for recovery of the world, financially and eco- nomically, according to authori- tive information. MT. Hoover fail- ed to interest the Premier in re- duction of ar.naments as a con- dition for reduction of the French debt to the United States. and the French Statesman could not enter a security pact as consid- eration for French disarmament program. Such a pact would in- volve the United States in econo- mic and perhaps armed action against an aggressor in war.
 Premier Laval disposed of Sen- ator Borah's surprising statement advocating revision of the Yer sailles Treaty. MT. Laval said he wished to avoid any misunder- standing and agreed to discuss the topic privately with Senator Borah after a stag dinner. He endorsed only two points brought forward by Borah and was dispos- 1 ed to regard the whole incident lightly. Premier Laval concluded i his visit to Washington with a 1 dinner at the French Embassy and left for New York to board 1 the III De France.

 These two Senators back in l9l9- 20 were among the leaders in the Senate's revolt against then Presi- dent Wilson's efforts to take the United States into the League of Nations. Observers would not be surprised if they launch an attack when Congress meets next month on President Hooyer's cooperation with the League in the Sino-Jap- anese dispute.
