officially, Mr.. Davis pledged his gov
eminent never to interfere with inter-
national action against nation
that has been satisfactorily iden-
titled as an aggressor, and to par
ticipate in effective, automatic and
continuous" international supervision
designed to make certain that the ma
tons carry out their promises in dis
armament.
president Roosevelt's message" he
said, "is a clear indication of the fact
that the United States will exert it's
full power and influence and accept
its just share of responsibility to make
the results in disarmament definite,
prompt and effective"
After announcing that the United
States was willing to consult with the
other states in case of threat to
peace, Mr.. Davis set forth the Amer
lean policy in these words:
Further than that, in the event
that the states, in conference, deter
mine that a state has been guilty of a
breach of the peace in violation of it's
international obligations and take
measures against the violator, then, If
we concur in the judgment rendered
as to the responsible and guilty party,
we win refrain from any action tend
ing to defeat such collective effort
which these states may thus make to
restore peace"
Asserting that there must be real ac-
cOmplishment in the way of disarma-
ment, or reyersion to a race in arm
ing, Mr.. Davis proposed drastic arms
reductions, and promised that the
United States would go as far in this
as the other states.
Great Britain, Germany and Italy
were highly pleased with Mr.. Davis
pronouncement, but France remained
dissatisfied, both with the security Of
fered by the United States and with
the Davis proposals for armament re-
duction. The more the French get, the
Is exceedingly irritating to the other
nations. Foreign Minister Paul-Bon-
cour told the conference that France

The supervision, he said, must espe-

Jesse H. Jones, RIG chairman, and

Jones disclosed recently that the

Of $4,000 applications only small sum

Barred at present from making di-

RIG under the MIRA loan plan sug-
gested that small business men need

would loan to these small groups and
the money could be divided among

OFFICIALS DECIDE
AGAINST RE0PEN|NG
Mira FOR CONGRESS
Will Ask No Changes in Indus
trial Law; Believe Il Is
Working Well

Washington, Dec. l8.-(P)-Govern-
ment officials have decided. after six
months trial OF the industrial recov-
cry act. that they would prefer not to
reopen 1t to amendment at the coming
session OF congress.
Unless conditions then demand It,
consequently, they inseno to ask no
changes. One exception however, may
develop from the desire of Senator
Wagner dem. N. - 10 get down In
black and white the powers Of the ma
tional labor board, which he heads.
The men who have administered
the MIRA DO not consider the law per-
feet. They believe it contains some
inconsistent and even contradictory
provisions. but hope these will not
prove Of sufficient Importance to war
rant reopening the entire structure.
That. by and large, reflects their
satisfaction with the results obtained
to date. though it does not mean that
all codes now in force are considered
satisfactory, or that changes may not
be sought in the future through the
codes themselves.
Wants Free Opportunity
Wagner wants the law to insure the
workman a really free chance TO elect
q representative to bargain with his
employer: he wants the labor board
to be put on a permanent basis with
statutory power to settle disputes be-
tween employe and employer.
But two or more moves from out
side the government are expected
for modification Of the law. Some one
is almost certain to reintroduce 30
hour work week bill. Congressional
sympathizers with business are ex-
pected' to cry for elimination Of Sec
ton IA, the clause drawn to prohibit
coded employers from interfering with
the unionization Of their labor.
Hugh S. Johnson, who Is going to
remain administrator at least until
congressional storms are met and
dealt with, has warned against both
courses.
Another attempt that may be made
Is to legislate labor and consumer
representation on the code authorities.
Johnson. fighting more radical advis-
ors In the government, has insisted
that MIRA means self government by
industry itself, with supervision by the
government on behalf Of all groups.

GOLD PRICE FIGURE
JUMPED five CENTS
TO $34.O6 AN ounce
Brookings institution and Econ
omy League Challenge Ef-
fectiveness Of Plan

Washington. Dec. l8-lP)-The gov
eminent jumped its gold price to
$3406 an ounce Monday for the first
upward movement since Dec. l.
The fiye-cent increase resumed the
upward trend begun when price Of
$3l.36 was fixed October Is at the
beginning OF President Roosevelt's ef-
fort intended to boost commodity
prices by raising gold values.
It also was the first price increase
since the disclosure of recent heavy
gold purchases abroad. estimated to
have exceeded $35 100000.
Bar gold was bringing $32.48 an
ounce in London Monday on the basis
of sterling opening at S5.l2ia to the
pound.
The new gold price increase fol-
lowed two group statements relating
to the country's monetary and H.
nancial condition.
One was a study by the Brookings
institution, holding that the admin
istration's gold purchase plan can not
be relied upon to bring higher price
levels. It called for reconsideration
Of monetary policies In relation to
economic recovery. arguing that
monetary uncertainty sooner or
later leads to deterioration of gov
eminent credit"
The second development was a de-
mand of the National Economy
League for a balancing Of the budget
which would bring all expenditures.
both ordinary and emergency, within
receipts.
The league contended the present
rate Of spending would produce un-
sound money and estimated the gov
eminent would close It's fiscal year
next June 80 with . $4,000, 900 900
deficit.
Treasury officials, busy with pre-
paration Of the 1885 budget, had no
