dicted, has opened a prospect for
many persons to acquire great

CLERKS RAISE
. MAY 50 FUND

Failure of Congress to appro-
pirate funds for Memorial Day OBJ
servances at Arlington has led
Federal employees to take the
initiative, and plans are under
way today for raising a sufficient
fund for the purpose through
small voluntary contributions.
In the past, Congress has ap-
propriated $2,5O0 annually for
services at Arlington in honor of
the nations dead. This year no
such appropriation has been
made. Economy is the reason.
1t is planned this year to pay

F. FOR PARLEY
.|NLOND0N
Norman H. Davis Joins Group
, to Fix Economic Agenda;
\ King to Open Confab

LONDON, April 90 (I.N.S).
The organizing committee of
the world economic confer
ence met here today, heard
an American proposal for an
international tariff truce, and
then set June Il as the date
for convocation Of the parley.
Meeting in the foreign office in
Downing Street, the delegates
listened attentively while Norman
H. Davis, special American Am
bassador, set forth President
RooSevelt's plan for an armistice
on trade restrictions to prevail
from now until the conference
meets.
He suggested that the invita-
tionS to be sent to the So nations
! :sse peeled te participate in the con,
ference contain a deffnite recon-
mendation in behalf of the eco
nomic truce.
Committee Limited
Davis made his statement after
the committee had completed a
two-hour discussion of the pro
posed agenda of the conference.
He laid the American proposal
before the committee as it hao
been outlined previously, but as
expected, the committee decided
it lacked authority to make any
recommendation or take any deci
sion in addition to setting the
date of the conference.
The invitations to be sent by
the committee, however, will no
tify all nations that the United
States has proposed the truce.
For Moral Effect
The American Governm n
feels, it was pointed out, that the
inclusion of a declaration against
trade restrictions in the confer
ence invitation would have a
striking moral effect.
While it would not prevent
Great Britain or any other nation
from making new trade agree
ments before the conference
meets, it would be likely to place
any government in an embar
RAISING position if it effected new
tariff treaties in the face Of such
recommendation.
The Washington times., 1933-04-29
Status Quo, Aim

The State Department today
announced that the purpose of
the truce is to maintain the status
quo in tariffs and other trade re-
strictions for the duration of the
conference.
Undersecretary of State Phillips
said that it will have a stabilizing
influence on world trade in
general.
He admitted there was posi-,
bility that the French would pro-
pose the inclusion of a safe
guarding clause to permit France
to increase it's tariffs in the event
