LONDON, June 24-Repeated sug-
gestions that the American domestic
program for economic recovery is ire
conciliable with international co-opera-
ton may be fomented by forces in
terested in the failure of the World
Economic Conference, CordeI Hull
American Secretary of State, said
today.
In a statement to the press the
chief Of the United States delegation
called attention to these references re-
garding the American domestic recov-
cry plans and asserted that they may
rise from sources which we're desircuS
of confusing the conference land of
seeking to prevent realization of hopes
that are the purpose and objective Of
this world gathering"
The Secretary of State said there
Is no basis and no logic in the thought
that the American problem here and
that at home are incompatible, as has
been suggested, particularly since the
American refusal to participate in de
facto currency stabilization.
Each Country's Problem.
at is, think, obvious that in times
of emergency such as this, each country
must resort to whatever feasible meth
ods are requisite to bring about an in
crease in commodity prices. with &C
ccmpanying projects safeguarding that
country in the face of the general chaos
OF international trade" Mr.. Hull said.
There is no reason that can con-
ceive why these respective programs,
having for their purpose business re-
covery with full employment, suitable
wages and satisfactory price levels,
should not have the united support OF
all those who are sincerely striving Tor
the international economic cooperation
so indispensable to permanent recovery" )"
Referring to the American delega-
tons resolution introduced Thursday,
calling for concerted credit expansion
and public works programs, Mr.. Hull
said it was framed with full knowledge
and appreciation both of Americas
domestic program and the proposal for
an internationally co-ordinated none
tary and economic policy for all nations
to pursue at the same time in order TO
stimulate business and improve prices.
He added that 1t was framed, in the
exact language in which it was pre-
sented. before the delegation sailed, and
that nothing had happened either here
or at home to change the situation or
to make the pursuance of domestic and
international policy more difficult.
Couzens Sees Conflict.
(Senator James Couzens of Michigan
one of the American delegates to the
London conference, said last Monday
in London that there was conflict be-
tween the international and domestic
programs of the United States.
so far as America is concerned"
Senator Couzens said, between the
time of the calling of the conference
and the present, nationalistic economic
program has been developed which
seems to indicate that internationalism
will conflict quite severely with our
national economic program.
If my analysis is correct we cannot
carry through both programs. Sooner
or later in the conference we shall have
to decide which program we are going
TO follow
The same day London newspapers and
members of other delegations asserted
that the Americans were divided into
two camps over internal and interna-
tional policy. On Tuesday Secretary OF
State Hull asserted that the American
delegation was unit "as to its compre-
hersive functions."D
Await Australian Stand.
Considerable uneasiness existed today
at headquarters of the American dele
CATION as to whether fresh instructions
Stanley M. Bruce, Australian Minister
to London, received from Canberra last
night mean that his government will
join other great wheat producing coun-
tries in the American scheme for the
restriction of production.
Mystery surrounded the nature OF
the communications to Mr.. Bruce, who
declined to discuss the matter with
newspaper men.
Americans were continuing their
drive over the week END 10 obtain Aus
tralan adherence. Australia is the
only nation lacking among the major
producers, including Canada, Argentina
and Russia, which already have given
the stamp of general approval to the
plan.
Despite the delay in achieving COM
plete agreement, the American delega-
ton today indicated they believe Aus
tralia would come IN.
Held Important Achievement.
If she does it will be an occasion for
q celebration. since American repre-
sentatives feel the adoption of this
wheat problem will be one of the most
important achievements of the World
Economic Conference.
There still would remain some smaller
wheat producers to be drawn into the
echeme, but the Americans feel they
VIII follow the lead Of the big five

and Russia.
vracLr
optimistic atmosphere surrounding the
conference than existed a few DAYS ago
when the Stabi!Zation battle was at its
he ght.
With that question at least tempo
rarlly solved through Franco -Ameri-
can rapprochement, the conference was
looking forward to constructive work
next week.
With business suspended at confer
ence headquarters today most of the
delegations were taking things easy.
The Americans probably were the
most active workers, because of theil
desire to get action on the wheat pro-
gram. Most of them, including Secre-
tary Of State Hull, remained at theil
hotel today.
