1t was plainly evident as President
Hoover was nearing the Capital that
President -elect Roosevelts reply to the
to discuss the foreign debts and other
pending matters of great Importance
was exceedingly disappointing.
Mr.. Roosevelt's suggestion in his tele-
gram of acceptance that the conference
be wholly informal and personal" and
his reference to the responsibility for
the debt settlement resting upon those
now vested with authority" were not at
all TO President Hoover's liking. While
the President has made no public COM
ment, and IL Is doubtful II he will, there
is no mistaking that from his viewpoint
the President elects acceptance tele-
gram left much to be desired.
OF course, the Presidents disappoint-
ment will not cause him to quibble. He
will fall in line with Mr. Roosevelt's pro-
ley; and arrange matters accordingly, the
date to be fixed at the Governors
pleasure. .,.,
The opinion ABOARD the Presidents
special train was that when the Presi-
dent invited the President ELECT to meet
in Washington for q conference regard
ing these grave matters, Mr.. Hoover had
in mind the various conferences he held
at the White House preparatory to the
granting of the one-year debt mora
torium and other conferences prelimi-
nary to subsequent important matters.
He had hoped to have Mr.. Roosevelt sit
in on such conference, accompanied
by a group Of Democratic congressional
leaders and other advisers.
On the other side of the table, flank
ing the Presidents seat, would have
been group of administration experts,
including the Secretaries Of State and
the Treasury, the director Of the
Budget and Republican congressional
leaders. The Presidents idea was to
arrafige quite formal affair.
Now that President-elect Roosevelt's
answer makes this impossible, 1t Is
thought, Mr.. Hoover later will suggest
to Mr.. Roosevelt, probably at this in
formal "chatty". affair. that II be fol-
lowed by conference of the size and
proportions originally desired by the
President.
It was apparent to all those aboard
the Presidents train that he eagerly
awaited the reply from the President
elect, and there was some discussion
regarding the delay in receiving 1t.
Finally, at Hutchinson, Kans., Mr.
Roosevelt's telegram was brought to the
Presidents car
Mr.. Hoover read the reply as he sat

in the lounge compartment, with Seefe-
tary of Interior Wilbur and one OF two
other associates. Just what Mr.. Hoover's
comment to this informal group was
after he read the telegram Is not
known. A few minutes later 10 was
announced that the answer had been
received, but that its contents would
be made public in Albany.
1t was not hard to guess, after some
questioning, that the President ELECT
had accepted "only In principle, . rs they
say In State Department and diplomatic
circles Id Washington, that he had
avoided the real proposal as the Presi-
dent would have him see 1t, and that
his reply was disappointment.
Regardless Of the extent Of his dis
appointment, the President maintained
his customary calm. He sat up talking
He mentioned several times that he had
been getting too much sleep and that
he did not want to retire early.
Roy Roberts, managing editor Of the
Kansas City Star, who was Washington
correspondent Of that paper for many
years, during (which time he became
intimately acquainted With Mr.. Hoover,
boarded the train at Hutchinson. He
sat In the group talking with the Presi-
dent for more than an hour and left the
train when 1t reached Kansas City
shortly after ! o'clock in the morning.
Throughout the trip the clouds have
been heavy and dark, and for the
greater part 1t has rained. Despite the
weather, there have been large crowds
at the various station stops At several
stations there have been bands playing
lively airs These demonstrations have
greatly impressed the President and
members Of his party.
While his train was stopping for q
few minutes at Seymour, Ind. the Pres
iderits attention was directed to a
modest, little cottage-type house, o few
feet back from the railroad track, upon
the porch Of which stood an elderly
woman In gingham dress, holding
before her with both hands campaign
llthograpl1 bearing the likeness Of Hoo
yer and Curtis. Several times she
patted the picture. The President was
pleased at this evidence Of party devo-
ton. but he made no comment.
The time Of the arrival of the special
was pushed back an hour so as to af-
ford an opportunity for some Of the
washington Republicans to be on hand
TO extend a warm welcome back home.
This was requested in Telegram re-
ceived yesterday from Edward F. Col
laday, Republican national committee
man for the District Of Columbia.

Memorandum Delivered Yesterday Requests Re-
examination of Debt Situation and New Holiday,
Following Frahco-British Action.

though the rights of Belgium to obtain
complete material restoration have been
unanimously recognized from the Begin
ming, the Belgian government did not
hesitate in July, 1884,, to accept the
proposal for d moratorium which was
made by the President of. the United
States. A year later, In the interests
of peace and economic recovery, it ad-
hered to the Lausanne agreements. In
so doing, it consented to make sacri-
fees which were particularly heavy
and which have profoundly affected
the financial situation OF Belgium. The
Belgian government remains convinced
that the difficulties with which the
world is, faced today cannot be over
come unless the nations pursue feso-
lutte policy of cooperation and mutual
assistance With this idea in mind
and in a spirit of friendship, the Bel
gian government requests the Govern

Dean John McDill Fox of the School

Seminar leader, said his group was of

cate minimum wage child labor laws,
pensions and partnership in profits.
He raped lawyers who use law as

in part for prevalent disrespect of law.
The Seminar was divided, he said,

resorting to politics and government
to force the public to adopt approved
standards of conduct
Prohibition. prostitution, birth control
and motion picture censorship were con-
sidered in the light of this question, he
reported.
Municipal politics should be divorced

HONOLULU, May 6.-Reviewing re-
cent trade history of the Pacific, James
A Farrell, chairman of the National
Council, today saw elements Of distinct
encouragement"
In an address prepared for the
national and Pacific foreign trade coun-
Gil conventions, he noted that trade
across the Pacific has disclosed
greater resistance to depressing infiu-
ences than that Of other parts Of the
world"
The Pacific trade of the United States
considered alone, he said, has elements
of distinct encouragement. The dollar
value Of all United States exports to
all Asia fell off only 19 per cent, and
those to India. China and Japan de-
creased only 10 per cent. 1t is to be
noted that a substantial part Of the
trade recession is due to price declines"
Farrell's hopeful expressions came the
day following repercuSsions of the
recent Japanese Chinese conflict. ia
panese attending the sessions had
criticized the Chinese boycott of Japan
eSe goods. King Chau Mui, Chinese
consul, replied yesterday that China
had always been friendly toward her
neighbors except when Japan sticks
