AMENDMENT MADE
TO BANKING BILL
GIass-SteagaII Measure Then
Approved by House
Committee.

By the Associated Press.
The House Banking Committee today
amended and then approved the Glass
Steagall bank reform bill, one of whose
purposes IS to separate speculation and
banking.
Before approving the bill. the COM
mittee wrote in several amendments.
One by Representative Hancock, Demo-
crat, Of North Carolina, would remove
double liability from stockholders in the
event the bank in which they hold
stock should close. This was adopted,
10 to 8.
Another change was approved which
would. Hancock said, prevent banks
from engaging In the insurance busi-
ness"
The committee approved as it stood
the deposit insurance feature Of the bill
The House bill would admit to the de-
posit insurance fund State banks which
supplied certificates from State ON
ctalS as to their soundness, provided
the new Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration approved their admission.
The bill, introduced in the Senate by
Senator Glass. Democrat. of Virginia,
and recently approved by the Senate
Banking Committee. would embrace in
the deposit insurance fund all State
banks that had made application for
admission to the Federal Reserve
System.
Also, like the Senate bill, it would
require all National and Reserve men,
- banks to divest themselves of hold
ings in security affiliates within two
years.
From a conference of Republican
Senators today, Senator McNary, party
leader. took to the Democratic leaders
a proposal to delay action on the Glass
bank bill until the pending impeach-
ment trial Of Judge Harold Louderback
Is ended.
No final decision for or against the
bill was reached by the Republican
conference. but McNary said several
suggested the delay for study of the
measures provision insuring deposits.
McNary said a majority OF the con-
ference seemed opposed to the deposit
insurance clause in its present form.
However, Senator Glass intended
to ask its immediate consideration by
the Senate.

BRITAIN CHANGES PLANS.

LONDON, May 16 (P.-Plans for
either Sir John Simon, foreign secre-
tary, or Lord Hailsham, secretary for
war, to represent Great Britain at the
reaSsembling of the World Disarmament
Conference at Geneva Thursday have
been abandoned by the British govern
ment.
After plans had been perfected for
one of them to supplement the regular
delegate, a change, unexplained OH
cially, delegated the task alone to Capt.
Anthony Eden, undersecretary for for
eign affairs. He is the regular delegate
and will be given full cabinet instruc-
tions.
In parliamentary circles the move
was described as conceivably providing
handy weapon, should the conference
break down, of a possible plea that the
undersecretary lacked authority.

HITLER PREPARES FOR SPEECH.
Chancellor Has Confidential Conference
With Won Hindenburg.

Chancellor HAS COnnOentlal conference
With Won Hindenburg.
BERLIN, May 16 (P). = Chancellor
Adolf Hitler prepared today for his
momentous pronouncement on disarm-
ament before tomorrow's special Reichs-
tag session by holding confidential
conference with President Paul Won
Hindenburg.
The whole field Of foreign politics
was discussed at the conference, with
special emphasis on the disarmament
issue, which has faced the chancellor
with one Of the most important de-
Cisions Of his career.
Dr. Wilhelm Frick. minister of in
terror and a stanch Nazi, was present
when the chancellor saw the presi-
dent of the Reich. In order to obtain
the latest information from Geneva.
Herr Hitler also conferred with Count
Rudolf Nadolny. the German delegate
10 the Disarmament Conference who
was summoned home for this purpose.
Meanwhile, foreign Office spokes-
man. Indignantly asking whether the
Geneva negotiations did not wish to
kit at the table with Germany, reiter-
kted the German claims to arms
equality.
Extravagant Demands Denied.
Germany demands nothing extrava-
CANT" the spokesman said. "She wants
equal right"
Charging other powers with adver-
tently neglecting their treaty obliga-
tionS which marks relapse into the
times Of Is years ago." the spokesman
asked whether it was of any sense to
shoulder new obligations without 8d-
vance concessions from other countries.
The chancellor at 3 pm. tomorrow
will outline before the reassembled
Reichstag Germany's position in the
face of the deadlock in the World Dis
armament Conference which followed
German disagreement with articles OF
the British disarmament plan.
The situation in Germany was most
tense as government leaders sought to
check the drift which rapidly was
carrying the country into political isola-
ton
Newspapers generally blamed France
for the Geneva impasse and expressed
surprise that the speech last Saturday
night of Vice Chancellor Frank Won
Papen. IN which he compared the pres
ent situation with that existing in 1914,
had received cool foreign reception.
Blames France for Crisis.
The Wolff News Agency subsidiary,
Deutsche Diplomatische Politische Kor-
respondenZ. spoke of ceaseless French
sabotage" and blamed France for the
crisis in the Geneva deliberations The
subsidiary usually reflects official opin-
ion.
Hitler wants no war" the Deutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung declared in belit-
ting talk Of war. "He could not want
it without jeopardizing his life work and
his theology. He wants peace, security,
equality and gradual revision Of the
Versailles treaty."
Never at any time" the news serv-
ice said, has it been possible to ascer-
tain what concrete disarmament meas
ures France intended to carry out, even
If all her security demands were con-
ceded. The pretense today
that the world is waiting for Germany
to show hers is waste of time"
Captions reading "Fateful Days" were

Britain Interested in
Russia's Recognition
By A. q. GARDINER.

LONDON, December 0.-Maxim Lit
vinoff's visit to Rome, following upon
his successful negotiations at Washing
ton, emphasizes the part which Russia
seems destined to play In molding the
new Europe and the New World.
There Is no doubt that American rec
ognition of the Soviet Republic has
given other nations "furiously to think"
In regard to their relations to Moscow
and has enormously enhanced the
prestige Of Russia.
Both political and economic consid-
erations are involved In the re-emerg-
ence Of Russia on the stage Of interna-
tional affairs. One of the chief con-
tributory causes of the world depres-
sion has been the detachment Of the
Soviet Republic from the current OF
trade. and its resumption Of intercourse,
with all the commercial possibilities I'm.
piled by the fact, Is aroustng interest
In all countries. Premier Mussolinis

vinoff, for example, cannot fail to have
been Influenced BY his anxiety to see
that italy does not lose any trade By
the agreement between the 6oviets and
the United States.
Nor 9 the concern which the British
government Is showing IN regard to the
proposed new Anglo-Russian trade
agreement unconnected with the same
influence. Few countries have suffered
more from the isolation Of Russia than
Great Britain has, and for years there
have been powerful commercial inter-
ests In the country who ardently advo-
Gated more cordial relations with Mos
COW. To take only one illustration, the

scandinayia has advanced on the
road to recovery somewhat irregularly.
Sweden was the first nation to show re-
newed life, emerging In the last quar-.
ter Of 1882 from the more serious phases
Of dspoasion. Her progress has not
been rapid, but has been steady. Nor
way did not show signs Of improvement
until this year, but latest reports indi-
cate gains in trade. with Q rise In the
price level. Unemployment has de-
clined markedly. DenmArk's start on
the upward road did not begin until
some i've months of 1888 had passed
but since then the climb has been

Finland has been showing economic
gains, with particularly good returns
from her export trade. The finances
Of the Scandinavian nations are stu
far from satisfactory, but next year

Other Signs Of Recovery.
In the opinion Of some Of the more
sensitive observers, the most heartentng
tnttmatiou Of recovery In the entire
world Is the improvement In Austria.
Austria has long been q sort Of barume-
ter Of world economic conditions. Il

rency, and followed long way by the
French and Italian. It was the col
lapse of the Credit Anstalt Of Austria
which precipitated the worldwide
financial crisis Of 1881, the crisis which
resulted in the Hoover moratorium, in
the departure of Great Britain from
the gold standard and the deepening Of
the depression in the United States. It
has been said that Austria can be COM
pared to q weak body which catches
any germ abroad before any one else.
It Is certain that, whether one re-
CARDS the idea Of an Austrian barome-
little succession republic are greatly
improved. In spite Of the political
hazing Austria has suffered from the
German Nazis, on top Of her sorry eco.
nomic plight, the country shows very
definite signs Of emergence. No coun.
try was more hedged about with con-
trolls, embargoes and restraints on busi-
ness; no country more burdensomely
taxed. The event which has particu-
larly touched on European conndence
has been the success Of Q new loan Just
doated.
Japan Is enjoying something closely
akin to prosperity. The military ac-
tivities In Manchuria are partly respon-
sible, but there is said to be marked
improvement in other directions. The
export trade Is hourishing and, Is
Japan mines gold, that industry Is
busy. although the government fixes .
price below the world market and has
been replenishing the government re-
serve at prices below what the United
States, for example, has to pay In the
world market.
All things considered, there are more
signs Of recovery today than there were
Of collapse before the depression.

champion Of those who have suffered

and inequitable conditions has tended
to defeat Its high aims and purposes.
We recall that even 90 distinguished

see no relation between Christian faith
and practice and the harassing prob

world Of stern and bitter conflicts. We
also recall that when Frederick Denni-
son Maurice and Charles Kingsley in
England preached Q social gospel, o
gospel that had to do with the better
ment Of living conditions in this pres-
ent world. they were severely censtlred
for departing from what was held to
be the real purpose and design Of the
church. In more recent years the
churches Of every name have been more
aggressive In aligning themselves with
those more wholesome and finely al
truistic movements that have as their
sole purpose the correction Of abuses
and evils under which the less privileged
and less fortunate men, women and
children OF this world suffer. We are
effort Of the Christian church Is in
strict conformity with the design and
purpose Of Him who taught men to
pray: "Thy kingdom come: Thy will

To dissociate our faith and practice
from the pressing concerns Of our daily
life, to divorce them from those vital
matters that have to do with the better
ment Of world conditions, u to prove
dtsloyal to our Christian profession.
In the present critical situation In
which we ind ourselves the churches
voice must be heard In maintaining
those sound and wholesome principles
that guarantee to men Of every class
and kind justice, equity and fair play.
To deny to the church and to Christian
people generally the right to better liv-
ing conditions here and now Is to do
violence to one Of the most funda-
mental teachings Of the Master.
We are called upon today to prove
our faith by our works, to give fresh
demonstration Of the real and present
value Of Christian faith and practice
To pray for better conditions and to
fail to exercise every infiuence at our
command and to give ourselves with
utter conservation to every consistent
cause designed for the fuller happiness
and profit Of the underprivileged and
less fortunate Is to deny our allegiance
to Him who taught US to pray: Thy
kingdom come: Thy win be done In
earth as 1t % In Heaven"
