No American officials in London be-

provided sensation for afternoon
newspapers.
1t was said that one of the foreign
statesmen who recently went to Wash

to come to London on the ground that
it would add to the prestige OF the con-
ference. The two outstanding foreign
statesmen who have seen President
Roosevelt recently are Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald of Great Britain
and Edouard Herriot, special French
envoy.
The inference was that Mr. Mac
Donald had invited Mr. Roosevelt to
make the trip. but nothing was known
about this In British government head

The Evening News pointed out that
there is almost an unwritten law
against President leaving the United

that the last President to come to

Economic Conference by observers here
President Roosevelt is casting about
for his deleea ton which will be called

as the most probable choice for chair

tain choices
There is some doubt in view of the

that Secretary Hull will be able to
remain in London very long. 1t is ex-
pected he will be succeeded by either
Cox or MOley as head of the delegation

SOUND MONEY URGED
AS Revival BASIS
Guaranty Trust Company Makes
Plea to Keep Currency
at Present Values.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, February 27.-Govern-
mental assurances of the maintenance
of sound money, in the opinion of the
Guaranty Trust Co. of New York would
do more at the present time to inaugu-
rate business revival than any other
one factor.
In its monthly review published yes
terday, the bank said that super
ficially, the preponderance of events has
been on the unfavorable side" The
seasonal advance in business activity
since the year end, the bank found,
has been distinctly less marked than
usual and confidence has been i'm
paired by temperance Of rather seri-
GUS banking disturbances in some parts
of the country"
"Since the one absolute prerequisite
to credit extension is confidence in the
future soundness of the currency" the
review states, sit follows that the most
constructive action that Congress could
take at the present juncture would be
to give some convincing assurance that
sound money would be maintained-first
by balancing the budget, and. second,
by adopting resolution definitely op-
posing drastic currency imitation in any
form. Such commitment would do
far more to foster business recovery
than all the public funds that could
possibly be forced into credit channels
Recent events have shown that a
further period of readjustment Is re-
quired, and the next few months are
likely to constitute such period"

!, s. CIGAR TRADE
IN FIRM POSITION
Industry Has Held Its Own
During the Last
Few Years.
BY the Associated Press.

With an annual production of 5,000,-
O00OC0 to $500, 900 900 cigars, the do
mestic industry has been found by the
Tariff Commission to be among the
largest and most favorably situated in
the world"
A report on "the cigar industry and
the tariff" soon will be issued by the
commission. which has anpounced that
this industry ''is Of current interest
because of the attention aroused by the
act to give independence to the Philip
pine Islands and the importance of
cigars in our total trade with those
islands"
The subject also is regarded as i'm
portant because of the recent transfer
from Havana to the United States of
large cigar factory owned by an
American company.
In tracing the tariff treatment of
cigars from 1904 to 1880, the report
shows the domestic industry in strong
competitive position. It uses large
quantities of domestic leaf and the
home market furnishes an outlet for
virtually all the production of the
continental United States and a con-
siderable quantity from Puerto Rico,
the Philippines and Cuba, the report
showed
A decline in domestic production was
noted during the last decade, but this,
the report said, has been due to a
falling off In demand rather than to
any increase in competition of i'm
ports"
For many years a duty of $3.50 per
pound and Is per cent ad valorem has
been imposed. The import duty on
Cuban products IS 20 per cent less
than these figures.

LAS far as know he said, there

there be? Ulster is definitely against

Roosevelt Lindsay Farley.
LONDON, January 80 LP,.-Prime
Minister Ramsey Macdonald was ex-
pected today to be placed in direct con-
tact with President-elect Roosevelt even
before the latter takes Office, in making
preparations for the Anglo-American
debt conference in Washington.
It was belived in informed quarters
that this would result from the con-
versations yesterday between the Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Ronald Lindsay,
and Mr.. Roosevelt at Warm Springs,
Ga.
After this preliminary communica-
tion Mr.. Macdonald would still be
figured as the logical head of the Brit
ish mission which will go to Washing
ton after Mr. Roosevelt's inauguration.
His chief aide and possibly his only
official companion, informed quarters
belived. would be Neville Chamberlain
chancellor of the exchequer. They
probably could leave as early as
March !.
Official announcement of the arrange
mant for the mission, and in all prop
ability. of the personnel, will await ar
rival of the Ambassador, who Is SAIL
ing tomorrow from New York.
The Roosevelt-Lindsay talk was the
subject of long detailed dispatches IN
London's newspapers today:
ANY communication which Sir Ron
aid may have sent his government was
not made public.
cabled report of his meeting with
hn
close attention at today's cabinet meet
ing, his verbal report on his arrival
was understood awaited before final ar
rangements on the debt conference are
made on this end.
The ministers, meeting today ano
Wednesday to clean up domestic mat
tiers before Parliament assemblies next
week, were represented as having but
vague ideas of President-elect Roose-
velt's views on the debt OF about $4,-
500 100000.
When the British Ambassador
reaches England, preparations will, 1t
was assumed, be rapidly completed, as
the British government evidently Is
eager to get negotiations going at the
earliest possible date.
It has been reported that Stanley
Baldwin, president of the council and
Conservative leader in the Macdonald
cabinet, desired to 60 to the United
States as British representative. He
has long been criticized by sections OF
his own party for the original debt
findings agreement, which he nego-
tiated when chancellor Of the ex-
cheuuer with former Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon in 1928. In Official
circles there has been little mention Of
him as a possible delegate.
