Of how their countries-represent-
ing world financial leadership
could cooperate to relieve the eco-
nomic strain on other nations.

pomp and ceremony today preclud-
ed more than a friendly greeting
and a short chat in tNe stately blue
room Of the White House where all
visiting dignitaries have been re-
ceived by the chief executive since
the days OF John Adams.
But tomorrow. ceremony will be
laid aside and they will talk cfer
cold facts.
Pres. Hoover Is not prepared to
discuss an agreement for the United
States TO aid France in the event
Of a war against that nation. Pre-
vious efforts to involve the United
States in security pactS Of such a
nature have been rejected invari-
ably by the senate.
Nh definite plan
In looking forward toward the
economic phases OF the Lonversa-
tons, the president became more
and more convinced that the
premier would be prepared to take
the initiative.

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. P-De-
scribed by him as pure nonsense
q new report that Vice Pres. Curtis

been injected into conjecture about
his future plans.
The Tulsa World insists that the

In the face OF his denial, the news
paper persists in its assertion that
its information Is both direct and
reliable"
The vice president will resign be

American petroleum institute ap-
proves the plan at its annual meet
ing next month.
Informed Of this. Mr.. Curtis said:
Il have no idea where that report
originated. There Is absolutely no
fundation to It,"
To which N. @. Henthorne. edi-
torial director Of the Tulsa paper
replied:
I'VE have nothing to change in
our story"
The future plans to the vice presI-
dent have been one Of the choice
It'd bits Of political gossip for
months. He indicated to friends only
recently that he had not decided
whether he would seek again the vice
presidential nomination or would
ask the Kansas elector. e to re-
turn him to his old place in the
senate.
Reports have been widely publish
ed that this final decision would de-
pend upon Mr.. Curtis belief in the

FAILURE TO
END STRIFE
CRITICIZED

GENEVA, Oct. 22-P-Aristide
Briand. veteran French foreign
minister and acting president Of the
League OF Nations council, called a
public meeting of the council for 4
o'clock this afternoon TO consider a
resolution which will propose an
adjournment Of the present consid-
Grafton OF the Manchurian problem
until Nov. II.
Negotiations Urged
What else will be proposed in
the resolution was not revealed, but
1t was believed 1t would contain a
demand that Japanese troops be
withdrawn from Manchuria with
out fixing a definite time limit and
that the Japanese and Chinese
governments would be urged TO be-
gin direct negotiations looking to-
ward a settlement as soon as the
troop Withdrawals begin.
In informed quarters ii was pre-
dicted the afternoon session would
bring a showdown" between the
council and Japan, or between the
council and China. 1t was consider
ed possible Japan might decline TO
approve the proposal and probable
that the Chinese representative
would not be able to accept II with
out referring 1t to Marking.
A storm of criticism was aroused
last night when it became known
that members OF the league council
despaired Of being able to apply
remedial measures at the present
time and the criticism prompted M.
BRAND to seek to modify the form
O. the proposed resolution under
which sittings are expected to be
suspended before the end OF the
week.
Hope For Turn
IN the meantime. some observers
expressed themselves as hoping
against hope for a turn for the
better.
Suggestions were made that the
United States was failing TO stand
by its promise to support the
leagues peace program. China was
being criticised for rejecting Jap
ans proposal for direct negotiations
and insisting on the mediation OF
the league and Japan was a target
OF the critics shafts for sjecting
league mediation.
