President Crashed All Conditions For
 Great Conference
Cries of Dsn1ay Come From British Press Over Gold Standard Surprise-MacDona to See Roose- welt First-HerriOt Will Join Him Next Week

encc will be here for the prelimin- aries. One Is Sir Frederick Leith- Ross, chief economic adviser to the British government, who represent ed his government in preparing for the world economic conference. He is accompanying Prime Minister Macdonald. The other is Charles Rist, Paris banker, who represent cd France in the preliminary work. He is coming with M. Herriot.
 Indicating the course which the Roosevelt conferences may take, these two men joined in a recent preliminary report concerning the program which was also approved by two American experts. The success of the world confer ence, they reported, twill depend upon the vigor with which the par- ticipating governments enter upon preliminary negotiations in the meantime" It Is these conferences that President Roosevelt Is now be- ginning. The experts representing princi- pal world powers joined in urging 1. Restoration of an effective international money standard.
 2. Some increase in the level of world prices which would consti- tute the first sign of world recov- cry.
 2. Control of large surpluses such as wheat by regulating ex- ports and production.
 4. Abolition of restrictions on foreign exchange.
 5. Greater freedom of interna- tional trade by reducing restric- tions.
 The experts sounded q warning which now appears applicable to the relations between the United States and Great Britain:
 "Eforts should be made to avoid q competition between states to &C., quire q temporary advantage in in- ternational trade by depreciating the external value of their currency below such a point as is required to re-esta blish internal equili- brium"
 War debts, the experts reported. should be settled in order to re- 1ieve further anxiety concerning the disturbing effects of such payments upon economic and currency sta bility.
 "There are countries the total value of whose export trade has fallen below the sums required for external debt service alone," the experts reported.
 The experts recommended a broad attack.
 "A policy of nibbling will not solve this crisis" they said. "We believe that the governments of the world must make up their minds to achieve a broad solution by concerted action along the whole front"

BY RAYMOND CHAPTER United Press Staff COrrcSDOndcnt

Washington, April 21-(U.P.)- President Roosevelt by 0 bold stroke has completely changed the conditions under which he will meet Premier Ramsay Macdonald of Great Britain on his arrival to- night. His action has brought cries of dismay from the British Press.
 The bold stroke was abandon ment of the gold standard. Now President Roosevelt has followed 1t with a proposal pending in con- gross to give him full dictatorial power to launch program of in- fiation and to reduce the gold con- tent of the dollar at his discretion.
 The result Is that on the eve of the conference the American dol lar has gone into competition with the depreciated British pound. This has checked Great Britain's advantage in underselling Amer ica.
 President Roosevelt acted as he did partly to raise domestic prices and break the tobogganing course of defation. But at the same time he seized q most powerful bargain ing weapon. It can be used in per- suading principal trading nations to join in q return to an interna- tional gold standard.
 This attempt to rcfix a gold value for each of the principal conner clal currencies has suddenly been thrust forward as major subject of the conferences. It pushes war debts and reductions of tariffs into the back row.
 The tall rich-throated Scotsman l.. f.. fx,V l dinner at the White House. After a conference with the press. he was expected to spend an evening with President Roosevelt In front of the fire discussing how the two leading commercial powers might cooperate toward restoring shat tered economic conditions.
 Former Premier Herriot Of France is due Sunday. For several days the three representatives of the chief powers will consult.
 As the leading nation still cling ing to gold, France may be expect ed to show exceptional interest in restoring an international gold standard. With her two principal competitors trading with cheap money, she might be forced to do likewise unless q new gold relation ship can be reached with Britain and the United States.
 Originally the conferences were called to frame a program for the coming world economic conference due to meet in London. June 15.
 President Roosevelt's action on the gold standard has increased pressure for an early agreement among the conference leaders.
 Two of the men who had much to do with planning that confer

Monetary System in United States Discussed By E. H. Davis Before Mechanical
 Engineers

An interesting discourse on gold and silver and their relation to the monetary system in the United States since the days of Robert Morris and Alexander Hamilton was delivered by Edward H. Davis, statistician of the Scovill Mfg Co, at the meeting of the Waterbury section of the Aperican Society of Mechanical Engineers yesterday at the Waterbury club.
 MT Davis said Robert Morris suggested that the basis of the country's money should be silver. Alexander Hamilton recommended a bi-metallic standard. In 1792 the country established a standard of $1, defined as representing 371 and one-fourth grains of silver and fifteenth as much gold. The content of silver In the silver dol lar has never Varied, Mir Davis said.
 Mir Davis took the changing money value from the days of tho country's infancy to the days of President Cleveland, including the importance of the discovery of gold in the west to the value of the money rates.
