Among the callers on Mr.. Roosevelt
was Senator Swanson of Virginia, in
line for Craftsmanship of the Foreign
Relations Committee to succeed Senator

tion. They discussed the debt diff
culties, and in reply to question as to
the feasibility of setting up new COM
mission to review the debt question,
Swanson on leaving said:
You cannot get proposal like that
through this Congress"
When President Hoover and Gov.
Roosevelt greeted each other in the
red room of the White House yester-
day, they appeared more like old
friends getting together after a long
separation.
Their greeting was cordial and
friendly, and there was not the slightest
trace of any lingering bitterness. They
entirely in renewing an association that
had its inception nearly Is years ago.
Greeting Is Cordial.
Mr.. Hoover, with Secretary of the
Treasury Mills, was seated in the red
room talking when the New York Gov
ernor was announced. The President
and Mr.. Mills rose quickly and hur-
ried toward the doorway.
President Hoover had friendly smile
on his face as he greeted his successor
elect. The Governor then shook hands
with Secretary Mills, whom he has
known since boyhood days, and pre-
sented Prof. Raymond Moley, Colum-
bfa University, to the President and
Secretary. Prof. Moley has been one
of his closest advisers.
The group then strolled across the
room and selected chairs placed infor-
mally about small table and without
further loss of time entered upon the
subject of the conference, which was
precedent-making, inasmuch as 1t was
the first occasion that a President has
invited a President-elect who had just
defeated him for reelection to con-
ference
No one else was in the room but the
President, Gov. Roosevelt and their two
advisers As soon as they were seated
liveried butler passed around smokes, -
the President and Secretary Mills Sc
lecting long cigars, while the President
elect and Prof. Moley took cigarettes.
The Governor puffed on his through a
long holder. which occasionally he held
between his teeth at quite jaunty
angle.
No Stenographic Report.
There was no stenographic report
of the conference and the only record
of this epochal discussion was kept in
the memory of the four participants.
All that is known officially of the con-
ference was contained In the terse, two
line statement issued later.

the press Immediately afterward in his
suite at the Mayhower was bombarded
with questions relating to the confer

to leave their answers to the President
He said it would not be becoming on
his part to make any comment.
A mob of cheering admirers was al

motored away en- route to the White
House. A number of old friends and
prominent Democrats were grouped
about the station platform to greet the

the top down, for his journey to the
White House rather than the machine
with the presidential monogram on
either side This afforded him an op-
portunity to be seen by the crowds en-
route and to wave and smile in response
