tives were invited to luncheon as guests
Of Secretary Hull today. In the after
noon, Ambassador Felipe Espil arranged
q reception at the embassy for DR..
Tomas A. LIE Breton, Argentina's AM
bassador to Paris, who has been spokes-
man for his country in the conversa-
tions.
Despite the fact its path was not
smooth, the administration Is driving
ahead with its plan for world tariff
truce between now and the converting
of the London Economic Conference
June IL, the success Of which Mr..
Roosevelt Is seeking so earnestly to
insure.
The tariff truce proposal was one of
the points in the discussions today with
Italian and Argentine ENJOYS. 1t will
figure in the conversations with the
German spokesman, who arrives during
the day to present his country's view
point.
Whether or not because Of fear that
the dollar may decline considerably
under the. administrations imitation
policy, France has made its approval of
such truce upon conditions and Great
Britain likewise gave its acceptance with
reservations
Another cause of considerable con-
lecture as to possible effect on the Lon
don conference was the adverse reaction
indicated in several foreign countries
to the American refusal, under its gold
embargo, to meet its gold payments of
interest on Government bonds held
abroad.
Other factors having a bearing on
the situation and tending to complicate
it, in the opinion of some officials here,
are the negotiation of bilateral tariff
treaties by Great Britain and the in
creaSing Of the British fund for main
tanning. the pound at predetermined
level.
The determined stand by the admin
istration to forbid any gold exports
even OH interest payments of Govern
ment bondS-iS regarded in some quar-
terS as part of the Anglo-American
game now progressing to determine the
levels OF the dollar and the pound in
foreign exchange.
These levels are sought as a prelimi-
nary to an agreement between the two
countries establishing a fixed ratio be-
tween the pound and the dollar
1t is believed at the Capital that a
British American agreement on money
may well be reached before the London
Economic Conference begins, and that a
relaxation In the drastic American gold
embargo will ensue
The fourth of the big European ma
tions to be represented here makes its
appearance today with the arrival of
DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, president Of the
Reichsbank. The finance ministers of
China and Mexico are close behind with
Japan, Brazil and probably Chile to
follow later in the month.

Ishii to Seek Views of U. S.
on Participation in Con-

BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC May 5.-Viscount Kukijiro
Ishii. veteran Of many diplomatic en-
counters, sailed yesterday to speak for
Japan in the Washington Conversations,
in which he will seek to win American
assent to japanese policy Of primacy
in ...e Far East. a
Political problems, chiefly evolving
around the status Of Manchukuo and
the Japanese conquest of Manchuria,
will form the subject of his discussions
with President Roosevelt, Viscount Ishii
said before leaving to take the steam
ship at Yokohama.
Japan's desire to be regarded as the
champion Of peace In the Orient viii be
explained to the American President by
the Japanese special envoy, who will
urge that the Washington Government
give recognition to the new State OF
Manchukuo.
Views on Pact Sought.
Viscount Ishii, co-author Of the
Ishii-Lansing agreement of 1917, re-
garding Manchurian policy, will seek at
Washington to obtain a clear exposi-
tion Of the Presidents views on pro-
posals for developing the Kellogg pact
into a means of concerting action
against an aggressor.
Since Japan has been DESIGNATED as
aggressor in the Sino- Japanese dispute
by the League of Nations, the TOXIC
government has an especial interest in

of their demands and thus Offset the
impression which Mr. Herriot is re-
ported to have made on the President
in connection with this subject.
From the economic point OF view,
the Germans are said to be willing to
co-OUerate with the United States at
the London conference.
But, DR.. Schacht says. there are GER
tain problems which must be taken into
consideration before the breaking down
of tariff barriers can be considered.
One Of the most important of these
questions is the problem Of monetary
StabiliZation.
Until 1881. there were two standard
trade was based. One was the dollar
and the other pound sterling. All in
ternational trade was transacted either
on the dollar or the pound basis. When
Great Britain went OFF the gold stand
ard in the Fall of 1881, the dollar re-
manned the only support of lnterna-
tional trade With America going Of
the gold standard, three weeks ago
there is not single stable currency
left in the world.
Plays Havoc With Trade.
This is playing havoc with interna-
far off when trade may cease to be
transacted altogether. typical ex-
ample Is given: A wheat exporter III
Adelaide, Australia, wanted to send q
cargo of wheat to an importer IN Ham,
burg. Germany.
Until recently the wheat was sole
on the dollar basis Now, with the dol
lar fluctuatng daily. the exporter can
not quote price any longer ana the
importer cannot buy. because there i
no way of establishing price which
will remain the same while the wheat
is on the high seas.
Consequently. 1t is necessary to flnc
some way of establishing as soon as II
is practically possible stable currency
Nobody, 1t Is said, cares whether the
gold coyerage Of the currencies is what
it used to be in the past. On the con-
trary, most of the foreign nations are
in favor of a drastic reduction Of the
quantity of gold for the covering OF
international currencieS.
But 1t is essential that they should
be stabilized at whatever rate may be
found possible, and this as soon as
possible.
The tariff truce. on which the admin
iStratiOn seems to place such great
importance, is considered by the Ger
mans as useful gesture indicating the
good intentions on the part of the
nations which will attend the World
Economic Conference. In that light
there is no doubt that the Germans will
do their best to cooperate with the
United States.

AS far as Germany Is concerned
directly DR. Schacht will take I'D thk
question of Short-term credits.
For the time being. Germany pays an
average of $40. 100000 month to the
creditor nations. Consequently she is
compelled to sell at whatever price she
can in order to meet these obligations

aWhat do you hope to accomplish in

II hope to accomplish an under

he replied. i;
After he was taken aboard the Macon
he was asked to discuss imitation in the
light of his experience in his own
country. He declined, but he added
that "if my advice Is sought in any
way in washington I shall be glad to

cuss monetary theories with the Presi-

piled. II am not an expert In cur

Makes Brief Speech.
After talking with newspaper men on
the Deutschland and answering their
questions DIR. Schacht made q brief
formal speech in which he said that
Americans won the war; they have to
make the peace"
THE last time I came over, two and
half years ago." he said, II had the
bad luck Of telling you g. good many
things which many Of you were not
pleased to listen to, but which very
soon proved to be true. Well, I can
not act against my nature. Therefore
II you will allow me-, / am going to say
some, more truths; maybe they will be
received this time with less criticism
because of the experiences We have
meanwhile been through.
THE first truth is that there Is more
hope this time for our making headway
in overcoming the worlds crisis because
you people have taken the initiative
Let me put 1t in a few plain words
The Americans won the war; they have
to make the peace.
The second truth Is this: Many
people are trying to convince you that
the present economic crisis Is based
en- economic reasons. Don't you be-
lieve them. Our crisis Is moral one
Economic wellbeing will only return
if fair chance is given to everybody
Instead. all forces are used to keep

but not allowed to earn.
Sees Two Ways Out.
And here Is a certain truth: Don't
try to cure the disease at the symptom
Remove the causes Monetary changes,
tariff machinery and similar methods
may ease the feeling for a while. but
more, Is needed.
There are two ways out. One Is
separation from each other, leading to
lower standards Of living. The other
Is international cooperation for open
ing up new markets. Here is our
choice-separation and poverty, or CO.
operation and prosperity.
Il know I could have been more
pleasing in addressing you, but I don't
think would have been more helpful
Be sure that appreciate all the able
and noble qualities of the American
people. but I did not come to fiatter

and otherwise identify himself.
DR.. Schacht met newspaper men in
the Deutschland'S social hall.
Gentlemen" he said Smilingly, Il
have no written statement. I hate writ
ten statements and I know you didn't
get up SO early to get one.
First, I want to express my sincere
thanks for the kind welcome. As you
know, I have been invited to come for
informal conversations with your Pres
ident in preparation for the Economic
Conference In London. I gladly ac-
cepted.
Il am ordered by my chancellor to
bring his warmest regards and to ex-
press his admiration for the courage
with which your President Is approach

How does the German budget

question.

Later he declared:
Private debts are private debts and
I think they must be paid"
He lost some Of his joviality when
one of the interviewers mentioned al

Jews
Il haven't noticed any outrages." he
