Leaders questioned by the
 United Press indicated belief

Leaders questioned by the United Press indicated a belief that a restoration of confidence, at least, is occurring. While some of the price increase may be due to currency imitation, it is gener- ally viewed as putting the farmer tonsumer for instance, back into the buying market.
 sN Statements made either directly to the United Press in its survey :br in public announcements re- Gently follow:
 5 Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. president, General Motors corporation: In view of the fact that lack of con- 'fidence has had such an important Influence in increasing the sever- fly of the depression, this change in sentiment, if sustained. is bound to have a wholesome influence in Accelerating the turn in affairs which we are so anxiously await ing.
 v. John N. Willys, chairman of the board. Willys- Co: The depression has reached bottom and definite upturn is under way.
 Newcomb Carlton, president, w SSbcTH OHtOH IclC6idPh w. Western Union business does not yet show an appreciable increase but 1t does clearly reflect the new tone and disposition of business and trade.
 t Colby M. Chester, president, General Foods corporations: I feel that we have reached a level that has discounted all cuts in raw ma terial prices and any possible fur ther reductions.
 Eugene G. Grace, president, Bethlehem Steel corporations: The Improvement in sentiment has not yet been reflected in the volume of orders booked by Bethlehem Steel corporation.
 Roy D. Chapin, secretary of commerce: A vast reservoir of buying power is backed up behind public caution, ready to flood the United States with a new wave of prosperity once 1t is released.
 M. H. Cahill, chairman and president, Missouri ri-Kansas-Texas railroad: I look for a substantial increase in traffic and earnings in the territory served by the Mis- rouri- Kansas Texas. In June there was some increase in the move- ment of grain and grain products. This improvement has continued in July in livestock and cotton.
 Arthur W. Cutten, grain trader: [ believe business has definitely turned the corner for the better. I think prices are going to he much better later on.
 James T. Phelan, partner, Hornblower & Weeks: Courage is the great essential to progress and success. It is fast returning throughout the country. As confi- dence replaces fear, it will record itself in increasing business activ- ity and higher security prices.

House Ways and Means Committee
Votes Against Administration
Plan to Increase Burden.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means Com
nittee today decided not to change the
existing provisions which permit corpo-
rations and their subsidiaries to fill
affiliated and consolidated income tax
returns.
This was the first Of the proposed
administrative changes to be disposed
of by the group forming the s1,250,
0OO,00 revenue bill The vote, taken
in executive session, was reported by
Acting Chairman Crisp as overwhelm-
ing.
An effort to reach a decision on the
Crisp proposal to form new policy on
foreign tax credits failed. The COM
mittee was SO divided it decided to
summon experts from the Commerce
Department tomorrow to give further
information on the effect such a change
would have on the export business OF
the United States.
On its decision not to change the
law permitting the filing of affiliated
and consolidated income tax returns
by corporations and their subsidiaries,
the committee lifted from the worries
of many business enterprises the threat
of an additional tax burden. Under
existing law returns may be filed by an
associated group on their combined net
profits.

hibition, said he would comment late today. E. c. Dinwiddie of the prohibition board of strategy said he would make a statement later.
 The Crusaders, a leading anti prohibition organization, said they wished to wait before commenting.
 Governor Roosevelt, MT Hoover's opponent for the presidency, is standing on the democratic plat form calling for unconditional re- peal and immediate restoration of beer through modification, of the volstead act.
 President Hoover goes beyond the republican platform, which merely proposes submission of a substitute amendment for state control but does not urge adoption of such an amendment.
 MT Hoover giving his personal view, said he could not countenance continuation of regime which has brought about the bootlegger and the speakeasy and organized crime. any more than he could coun- tenance a return to the saloon sys- tenn.
 "Either is intolerable." he de- clared.
 MT Hoover in his acceptance speech also:-
 1. Suggested Europe might pay war debts in some other form of compensation: perhaps by buying more American goods.
 2. Warned against radicalism and haphazard experiment.
 8. Pledged a fight on all fronts against depression.
 4. Accused democrats of spon- soring wild infiationary legislation and a $3,000,000.000 raid on the treasury.
 Although MT Hoover made a de- tailed defense of his reconstruc- ton program, his prohibition stand overshadowed all other parts of his address.
 The prohibition statement was loudly applauded by the 4,000 who damned Constitution Hall in one of the most brilliant political gath erings Washington has known in many years. Nr Hoover received a

limited the ratios between the fleets of the three powers. We have made concrete proposals at Geneva to reduce armaments of the world by one-third. It would save the taxpayers of the world billion a year. It would save us over $200,000,000 a year. It would reduce fear and danger of war.
 League Court
 I have recommended joining the world court under proper reservations preserving our free- dom of action.
 Kellogg-Briand Pact
 We have given leadership in transforming the Kellogg Briand pact from an inspiring outlawry of war to an organized instrument for peaceful settlements backed by definite mobilization of world opinion against aggression. We shall, under the spirit of that pact, consult with other nations in times of emergency to promote world peace>
 We shall enter no agreements committing us to any future course of action or which call for use of force to preserve peace.
 New Doctrine
 Above all. I have projected a new doctrine into international affairs, the doctrine that we do not and never will recognize title to possession of territory gained in violation of the peace pacts. That doctrine has been accepted by all the nations of the world on a recent critical occasion, and within the last fey days has been accepted again by all the nations of the Western Hemisphere. That is public opinion made tangible and effective.

 to economic and international questions. There are problems of

We have given leadership to the initiative of our people for social advance. ment through organization against illIteracy, through the White House conference on protection ana health of children, through the national conference on home ownership. through. stimulation to social and recreationai agencies.

 Bruening's party, 1t was under stood, has expressed severe disap- proval of the present "all-monocie cabinet 'ehaded by Chancellor Franz von Papen. It has demanded int the government be re-organized with both itself, and Hitler's Ma tional Socialist party being given ample representation. Bruening's party holds the balance of power.
 The Catholic, party. it Is said, stands ready to join in such a coal- ition cabinet provided Hitler anu brown-shirted FSscisti observe the constitution and respect the par liamentary form.
 sThe nation awaited tensely for the outcome of Hitlers conference with von Hindenburg. It was con- ceded generally that the old field ma arshal would do his utmost to talk the Fascist chieftain out of the chanceilorship offering instead an- other position in the cabinet.
 But Hitler, who served as an or- derly in the Bavarian army during the war and who plotted an opera. tic revolution in a beer cellar. will make no concessions. He intends to be chancellor.
 If von Hindenburg offers the chanceliorship to Hitler. 1t Is ex- pected that he will demand that teh Fascists adhere to four condi- tions.
 He will ask that they respect the constitution, that they refrain from employing the storm troopers as auxiliary police. that the Fascist militia shali not be granted equal. ity with the national army. and that party government shall not pc influenced by the storm troops: Friends of Hitler say he Will not accept such stipuiations.
