WASHINGTON, June % - The
Roosevelt administration has de-
Cided to concentrate everything on
its domestic recovery program ir-
respective of international develop
mentS, the United Press learned
today.
While the United States will not
withdraw from the world economic
conference, the administration feels
that its chief hope is that other
nations can be induced to concen-
trate in a similar way upon inter
hal recovery.
The Roosevelt administration is
determined nothing shall hinder its
main drive at home If the Lon
don conference can agree upon any
measures which will facilitate that
program, so much the better. But
this government will join in moth
ing that might retard or endanger
it. That is the policy behind the

Japanese Emperor Expresses Confidence In
Continuation Of Friendship Between His
Country And United States

EDITORS NOTE: His Impe-
rial Majesty. HirohitO, emperor
of Japan, has granted an audi
ence to an American newspaper
man for the first time in the
history of the japanese empire.
The United Press presents
herewith the story as cabled by
Roy w. Howard, American pub
Usher, who was received by the
emperor.
BY imperial rules the CONVEX
satiOn between the emperor and
Mr.. Howard cannot be presented
as an interview, because the en-
peror is never allowed TO be
quoted directly.
The audience with the emper-
or and a later interview with
the foreign minister, however,
combine to reveal that Japan
feels confident that good rela-
tons between the Japanese en-
pire and the United States will
be maintained and that the two
countries are closely bound to-
gether by mutual trade rela-
tons that cannot be broken
without injury to both.

CAR DRIVERS

LOS ANGELES, June %. UP
The California Highway Patrol to-
day threw its force behind the
state wide movement to check east
ern automobile manufacturers from
leaving drivers stranded in the
state without funds after hiring
them to drive unregistered cars
across the continent.
E. Raymond Cato, chief of the
state highway patrol, assigned in
spectors to border stations to force
all incoming cars to apply for Wis
itors' licenses. These permits are
applicable only for 80 days after
which the cars may be impounded
unless state licenses have been Sc
cured. Violators are subject to ar
rest. Cato ordered that this pro-
vision be enforced against drivers
who have completed previous trips
to California.
Cato issued his instructions after
the department of motor vehicles
had stepped into the investigation
by assigning inspectors to checking
stations.
Investigators for the state labor
department said hundreds of drivers,
principally from Detroit, have been
dismissed without funds after COM
plotting tranScontinental hauls.

HITLER ORDERS
SOCIALIST BAN
All Party Activities Suspended
In Sweeping Decree By Leader
Of Government.
BY PAUL KECSKEMETI
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, June %. - Socialists
joined Communists in hi din g
throughout the reich today as Nazi
storm troopers and local authorities
began rigid enforcement of the
cabinet decree outlawing the So
cialiSt party, the second largest in
Germany.
The decree, one of the most
sweeping ever issued deprived all
Socialists elected by the people of
their offices, confiScated the party IS
property. and prohibited Socialist
newspapers or Socialist meetings.
The Socialists hold 121 seats in
the reichstag and many in state
diets, all of which are now elm
mated.
The decree and the other out
having the Communist party de-
prives 80 per cent of the German
electorate of direct representation.
The decree charged the Socialists
with preparing for "high treason -
by maintaining connections with
leaders who fled to Prague, Czecho-
sloyakia since the rise to power of
Chancellor Adolf Hitler.
Public employees and workers in
public plants were forbidden to ad-
here to the Socialist party, and it
was said that in future Socialists
and Communists would be regarded
az identical.
One reason for the ban was said
to be the party's failure to dis
cipline Otto Wells who sent tele-
gram to the international labor
conference at Geneva. declaring
the German delegation had no
right to represent German work
ers.
The ban was execution of the
death certificate signed when Hit
Ter came into power.
Hitler many times had announc-
ed his determination to eliminate
all forms of marxism from the
reich.
