KING GEORGE
MAY ANSWER
PEACE PLEA
By WEBB MILLER
United Press Stafs Correspondent

Onteu fTeSS StdIS Correspondent
LONDON, May liking George
may reply personally to President
Roosevelt IS appeal for peace and
disarmament in order to emphasize
the observation-disclosures of British
approval, the United Press learned
today.
The British cabinet was under
stood to be working on the text of
the British reply King George re-
ceived President Roosevelt S mes
sage at Buckingham Palace last
night and was so interested that
his inclination was to answer per-
sonally. If he does not do so he
will forward the cabinets draft di-
rect to the White House.
Government officials, max n G
their approval most evident, took
occasion to point out that the vir-
tual unanimity of press approval
was unusually spontaneous
King Georges expected personal
reply would be one of his rare ex-
cursions into the field of postwar
international affairs. 1t was un-
derstood he would receive immeoi-
ately the draft of the cabinet S re-
sponse for approval.
Officials interpreted Roosevelt IS
message as implying American
readiness to enter into a consulta-
tive pact. Downing street thought
its significance profound because
it showed Washington inclination
to foresake the traditional Ameri-
can policy of isolation.

NEW REVENUES REQUIRED
Repeal OF Eighteenth Amend

BY LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

Uniteu freSS starr correspondent
WASHINGTON, May e. = Pres
ident Roosevelt sent to congress to-
day two-fold unemployment re-
lief program operating through a
So 300, ,000, 900 public works plan and
a great cooperative movement
throughout all industry in order to
obtain wide unemployment"
The President urged that con-
gress adopt this program before ad-
journment' of the special session.
For this cooperative program of
industrial planning Mr.. Roosevelt
proposed:
l. A shorter work week.
2. A decent wage for the
shortened week.
8. Prevention of unfair competi-
tion and disastrous over-pro-
duction.
4. Limitation of the operation of
antitrust laws.
New revenues must be provided
to finance the public works pro-
gram, Mr.. Roosevelt said. In this
connection he said repeal of the
18th amendment, now pending be-
fore the states, would restore for
mer revenue laws which would
"yield enough wholly to eliminate
| these temporary re employment
taxes
Mr.. Roosevelt estimated $220.000,-
900 in additional revenue would be
needed to service the contemplat-
ed borrowing for the public works
program. He did not make a spe-
cific Recommendation for the form
| 1t should take.t ~ v
Makes No Recommendation
"a number of suggestions, have
been made as to the nature of these
taxes" he said. 81 do not make
a specific recommendation at this
time, but I hope that the commit
tee on ways and means, of the
house of representatives, win make
a careful study of the revenue
lplans and be prepared at the be-
ginning of the coming week to pro-
pose the taxes which they judge to
be the best adapted to meet the
present need and which will at the
same time be least burdensome to
\
our people.
Sat the end of that time, if no
decision has been reached, or If
the means proposed do not seem to
be sufficiently adequate or certain.
it is my intention to transmit to
the congress my own recomenda-
tions in the NATTER
Mr.. Roosevelt said that since the
taxes would be of an emergency ma
ture provisions should be made for
their reduction or elimination as
soon as increased revenues from
improved business, or revenue from
pre- prohibition laws which would
go into effect automatically upon
repeal of the 18th amendment, be-
come available.
