Iustment as the keystone Of dis

conference, Conversations were
continued with Sir Ronald Lind

his financial and economic ad-

Hull said he was striving for
general cooperation to insure in

omic conference.
He added that efforts were be-
ing made to pave the way for re-
moval of exchange restrictions
which he said are sometimes even
more destructive of international
commerce than even high tariff
walls.
Hull admitted that ireland had
approached this Government with
a view Of concluding reciprocal
trade agreements.
Conclusion of such agreement
depends upon when President
Roosevelt obtains power from
Congress to act on his own
authority, Hull pointed out.
While Mr.. Roosevelt has not
asked for this power. Hull init
mated he will do so in the near

Commissioners Striving
Utmost For Speedy Beer

Washington will get legal beer
as soon after the pending local
beer bill is signed by the President
as is practicable, the District
Comissioners assured today.
The committee appointed by
the Commissioners last week to
draft beer regulations for the
Capital and to prepare forms for
licenses and applications is work
ing overtime in order to be ready
in the shortest possible time
after the bill becomes law.
Must Go Slowly
DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer
president of the Board of Com
missioners, said today:
"Of course, the committee
cannot do anything definite,
especially on the more cOntrO-
versial aspects of the local beer
situation, until the bill is en-
acted in its final form. All we
can do at present is to prepare
tentative forms and be as nearly
ready to proceed as possible
when the bill is passed.
81 believe the committee has
a tentative form Of application
for licenses ready, but, of course,
that cannot be finally prepared
until we see what Congress is
going to do.
owe feel that this is a matter
which must be gone over care
fully and that it is much better
to delay the sale of beer here a
few days than to rush ahead
unprepared."
DR. Reichelderfer said that the
commissioners are ready to set
the local administrative machin-
cry in force at once, but pointed
out that application blanks must
be sent to the 800 or so persons
who have applied. These forms
must be printed, he pointed out,
and after being sent out must
be executed and returned by the
applicants.
Study Applicants
Each applicant must be in
vestigated, he also pointed out,
to determine the truth of state
mems in their applications. Hence,
he agreed, is likely that legal
beer here will be delayed several
days after the national deadline
Friday.
More than so applications for
license we're received today.
Among those applying was the
Powhatan Hotel, 10th Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest.
Rule Here Held Legal
Should Congress delay unduly
long in passage of the beer bill,
there will be nothing to stop local
dealers from dispensing the beVer,
age, made legal under Federal
law, in the opinion of Principal
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West. member Of the

BENEFIT TOU 8.
SEEN SHADED

Soviet Russia would derive
greater benefits from recognition
by the United States than would
accrue to this country, according
to Government experts.
With recognition of the Soviet
regime by the new administration
regarded as a strong possibility,
the benefits to each nation have
been under consideration by eX-
pertS of the Commerce and State
departments.
Trade Now Practiced
The experts believe that while
recognition undoubtedly would IA
cilitate the future development of
a market for American goods in
Russia, the resultant trade bene-
fits would not be of great impor-
tance to either nation at the pres
ent time.
The reason given for this is
that non-recognition has not hin
dered commercial relations to any
great extent and therefore recog-
milton will not open any pent-up
flow of trade.
u. S. Share Big
American refusal to recognize
the Soviet government has been
what Europe terms de jure rather
than de facto. That is, the United
States has declined to recognize
the government of Soviet Russia
but it has not cut off commercial
trade relations, except to oppose
the flotation of Soviet bonds in
this country and refuse to guar
antee credit.
In fact, U. S. customs figures
show this country had the largest
share of the worlds trade with
Russia in 1880.
However, this trade has drop
ped off tremendously since that
year.

The loans would be granted to

Another section would author

The committee meanwhile COM
pleted consideration of the farm
relief bill, after adopting the So
called Norris-Simpson farm price

measure of relief.
The NorriS-Simpson plan would
authorize the Secretary of Agri-
culture to proclaim how much of
any crop was necessary for do
mestic consumption and then to
fix cost of production price for
that part of the crop.
A provision would make it IL
legal to buy or sell that portion of
the crop below the cost of produc-

crop could be bought and sold at

INVESTORS.
Huston Thompson Explains
Securities Bill Backed
BY Roosevelt

The United States is further
behind than any other civilized
country" in protecting investors
from fraudulent securities, Hus
ton Thompson, former Fedora
trade commissioner, declared to
day at Senate hearings on the
Roosevelt securities bill.
Thompson explained the bill
was drawn, in part. after the Brit
ish companies act in effect since
1908.
Mr.. Thompson declared:
France, Germany, Belgium
and other European countries
have enacted laws protecting
the public from the sale OF
worthless securities.
1--WE have taken certain Sug-
gestiOns from the securities act
of foreign countries and others
from State blue sky laws.
BURDEN ON SELLER
"The policy Of this bill is to
protect the public by informing
the investors.
"The bill puts the burden
upon the seller rather than the
buyer.
1--WE thought that was proper
in view of the hearings before
this committee and the remark
able revelations regarding cor
pOrate structure made by the
Federal Trade Commission"
Although not designed pri.
marily to regulate the New York
stock exchange, Thompson said
the bill undoubtedly would pre-
vent the sale of many securities
on the exchange"
Senator Barkley CD of Ken
lucky insisted the bill as now
drawn would apply not only to
new security issues, but also to
outstanding issues traded on the
stock exchange. Thompson re-
Piled:
"That is my understanding.
agree Will yOu'
Affects IsSuer
AS Thompson interpreted the
bill, it would apply only to the
issuer of securities, and would
not include brokers, pool opera
tors or other persons subsequently
selling the issue. He added:
1--WE will have to cover these
subsequent marketing practices
in a subsequent bill to regulate
the stock exchanges"
Barkley inquired whether the
provision requiring all directors
of corporations to sign the af-
fidavits filed with the Federal
Trade Commission should not be
stricken out. Thompson said:
eff that section gets out the
bill wouldn't be worth the paper
it is written on. The require
ment will do away with dummy
boards of directors"
Not more than per cent of
the securities listed before the
commission would be held up for
investigation, the witness esti-
mated.

means of support find that
their checks have been reduced
heavily or stopped, there is
bound to be a wave of bitter

NEW LEGISLATION NEEDED
Rankin said:
There are no surprises in it
for those Of us here on the
scene. Those of us who saw
the injustices it contained made
our fight to avoid them, but we
were Overridden. 1t looks like
there is no way out now save by
