ROOSEVELT To
HAVE MEETING
WITH HOOVER
Nations Foreign Policy To Be
Discussed At Conference OF
Leaders Friday.
HOPING FOR AGREEMENT
Vexatious War Debts Matter
And Far East Status To Be
Covered Thoroughly.
By JOSEPH ii. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. - A
fast-moying and effective Ameri-
can foreign policy on urgent prob
lens raised by Europe's debt re-
vision demand and Far Eastern
events was the goal set today by
President Hoover and President
elect Roosevelt as the two prepar-
ed for a conference.
Mr.. Roosevelt was expected here
late this afternoon. He planned to
confer at once with Democratic
leaders on domestic legislation
The White House conference or
foreign policy was scheduled for II
a. m. tomorrow.
Informed observers believe that
as a result of the conference, the
apparently dead war debt nego-
tiationS may be revived before
March 4. 1t was considered prob
able that the Hoover administra-
tion might yield to Roosevelts view
that the debt negotiations should
be conducted by the state depart
ment rather than by commission
as Mr.. Hoover favored.
Necessity of prompt action ir
this field was accentuated by two
circumstances:
l. Europe's threat not to meet
its June is debt payment to the
United States unless the funda-
mental debt structure is revised
before then.
2. The barrier that the present
debt situation is placing before
preparations for the world econo-
mic conference.
In the critical Far Eastern situa
tion developments were coming
fast as Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Roose-
velt prepared for their conference
The League of Nations warned
Japan that unless it rendered a
satisfactory report on Geneva's
Cancellation proposal before Friday
the league would move on to a re-
port on Japan's Manchurian ad-
Z. L
> ity Of severe censure of Japan.
japan Causes Anxiety
Japanese military movements
near the Great Wall of China were
causing anxiety at the state de-
partment and i'm foreign offices of
the western powers. All have ma
tionals and property in the Peip-
ing-Tientsin area south of the
Great Wall. 1t was stated official
ly that Japanese penetration into
that section would raise new in
ternational problem. ~
The Chinese legation made pub
lie a cable from its government
which asserted the Japanese were
planning an uprising in Tientsin.'
The legation also said the Chinese
government had received reliable
information that Japan had de-
cided to postpone its invasion of
Jehol province until early March
The decision was said to be due to
the bitterly cold weather and diff
ficulty of winter operations in the
mountainous terrain of Jehol.
While the Hoover Roosevelt con-
ference will be devoted primarily
to war debts and the Far Eastern
problem, other issues are to be dis
cussed. Both men are interested in
the Geneva disarmament confer
ence and in preparations for the
world conference.

SCIENTIST To

Ohteu fTeSS otaII correspondent
PASADENA, Cal, Jan. 19.-The
young Able Georges Lemaitre who
is old in wisdom of astronomers
and physicists, returns to his ma
tive Belgium today after four weeks
of study among California Insti-
tute of Technology savants who,
like the jovial priest, are attempt
ing to wrest from nature the Sec
rets of the universe.
Lemaitre, who holds the chair of
relativity at the University of LOU
vain, has held spirited arguments
during the past few weeks with
such noted men as DR.. Albert Elm
stein, father of relativity," DR..
Robert A. Millikan of California
Tech, whose particular field is COS
mic radiation; and DR.. Richard
Chase Tolman, the mathematician
physicist, who conceived similar
ideas Of relatively from the math-
ematical standpoint.
The young abbe came to Cali
fornia not only as student but
also as the teacher, for he deliv-
cred two lectures on his own in
triguing work-the concept of the
universe. 1t is the belief of Le-
maitre that the universe came into
being some 10 billion years ago and
when a primary atom exploded the
disintegrating electrons and rays
evolved into our sun, its planets,
and thousands of millions of other
suns and planets. He expressed the
belief that the universe we see
through the tremendous telescopes
developed by modern science, is in
creasing in size just as soap bub-
BILE grows larger.

BANKERS SEE SILVER
DEBATE AT PARLEY
Discussion Ofer Metal May Be
Revived at Approaching World
Economic Conference.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
NEW YORK, April 14.@Silver, storm
center of many political and economic
battle, bids fair to become the object
Of organized world economic study, in
the opinion Of international banking
authorities here.
A technical subject with rauifications
that have baffled students for years,
silver will occupy a prominent place
on the agenda Of the forthcoming
Economic Conference. Secretary OF
State Hull inttmated yesterday.
This development, coupled with the
the metal near the top of the list of
important discussions relating to the
depression.
Those who contend that silver is the
pass key to international recovery
argue that 1t Is closely bound up with
the purchasing power Of half the pop
ulation Of the world, namely the Orient;
that to raise the level Of world busi-
ness commodity prices must be In
creased, and that the logical way to
do this is to boost tie price Of silver.
On the other hand, bankers opposed
to this program say the problem OF
securing international aid for silver
would be difficult. Their view Is that
bi-metallism, main plank in the plat
form Of the silver advocates, would
have to be virtually on a worldwide
scale to be workable. They say that
the decision Of America alone to pur-
chase new metal for coinage would
mean that the rest Il the world would
promptly try to dump silver holdings
here, with adverse effects on the
price structure.

SUGAR SHARES GAIN.
ON TRADE REPORTS.
Recent Rise in Price of Com
modify Reflected on Stock
Exchange.
BY the Associated Press.

0y tuo Associated EreSS.
NEW YORK, April 14-The long-de-
pressed shares of the sugar companies
have leaped forward in the Stock Ex-
cnange OF late, some doubling in value.
Raw sugar futures in the New York
Coffee and Sugar Exchange currently
show an appreciation over the low
levels of January and early February
OF nearly 70 per cent. Prices have
risen from around .65 of l cent
pound, before payment of the 2-cent
duty, to above Ito cents.
Unique among the worlds basic COM
mod1tieS, sugar stands out in bold relief
by the fact that world consumption
during the last crop year exceeded the
production by 100000 tons.
Many factors have contributed to this
phenomenon, authorities contend,
among which are tariff regulations, the
Chadbourne plan for restricted output
and normal increase in world demand.
Wall Street quarters in touch with
Cuban conditions have recently learned
that the segregation plan" which that
country-world's leading sugar producer
-inaugurated last year, will be ex-
tended in the current year. Under this
program, which is device to obtain
a higher price, the Cuban government
will segregate or hold off the market
100000 tons of sugar which were orig
inally part Of the American quota.
Another important influence which is
considered fundamental Is the pos
sibility, under discussion in Washington,
of a tariff change favorable to Cuba.
The present duty on Cuban sugar
entering the United States is 2 cents
pound. An allotment schedule for
Cuban shipments, combined with tariff
concessions, would maintain and en-
nance domestic values, it Is believed.
