There was considerable diversity of
opinion among the Democratic Cover
nor of Virginia and Virginia Demo-
cratic members of Congress today on
whether the State should be host to
the veterans coming into Washington
to demand cash payment OF the bonus.
While Gov. Pollard was replying in
pointed language to Representative
Smith, in whose district is located Fort
Hunt where the Government decided
to quarter the demonstrators, that "the
President had presented to him a diff
flcult problem and the Gov
ernor OF Virginia will cooperate with
him regardless of your criticism" Mr..
Smith announced that he had enlisted
the support of Senator Glass, high in
administration councils, to 60 with him
to the White House tomorrow to file a
formal protest with President Roosevelt.

by the Associated PreSS.
LONDON, May 11-Germany's un-
willingness to give prompt assent to
the draft tariff truce text has definitely
delayed the formal acceptance and the
passing on to other governments Of
the world economic armistice project.
German assent had been expected
last evening and again this forenoon,
but when the German reply finally was
received after a noon meeting of the
cabinet of the Reich in Berlin, it was
to the effect that the German govern
ment would need more time to study
the proposals.
An effort was made here to impress
German quarters with the necessity Of
immediate action, and it was understood
that similar pressure would be brought
to bear at Washington.
Refuses to Be Rushed.
The tenor of the German reply to
requests here for immediate action was,
it was understood, that Britain and
America had taken their time about
evolving the truce formula and the
Reich could not be rushed precipitately
into an agreement.
In American quarters it was under
stood that while the formal replies Of
other governments have not been re-
ceived, they merely were being held in
abeyance pending the action of the
Reich.
The attitude Of the German repre-
sentatives led to cancellation OF a
of the World Economic Conference
;ol, hoI
afternoon. At this meeting the truce
was to have been formally accepted and
proclaimed.
In both British and American quar-
ters hope was expressed that accept
ances would be received in time to hold
the postponed meeting tomorrow morn
ing or afternoon, but the Americans ad-
mitted frankly they did not know when
the delegates would be able to meet.
Davis Takes Day OF.
Lacking further instructions from
Washington, it is the intention OF Nor
man II. Davis, President Roosevelt's
neeotiator. to remain in London until
the truce has been formally accepted
This afternoon he went golflng
There was nothing else to be done so
far as the armistice was concerned un-
til Berlin had spoken its mind.
A hitch is understood to have arisen
also over a clause in the agreement
which provides for withdrawal OF ma
tions should the price levels oe unduiy

interpretations of this clause have oeen
sent to the other governments.

The American representatives mere
are understood to be unaware of the
phraseology of the British interpreta-

dition, that it is not too different from
Washingtons Interpretation.
There is no doubt in American circles
that certain clauses in the truce text
are viewed by the British as protection

But Advisers Here Are

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 11.-Fresh reports,
described as "wel authenticated" that
President Roosevelt Is coming to the
World Economic Conference, resulted in
smashing headlines in this afternoons

patches frcm America.
There was huch interest in one
rumor that the President was coming

cruiser, according to the story, is be-
ing prepared "for the fastest crossing
Of the Atlantic ever made by a ship.
BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt has no immediate
intention of attending the London
Economic Conference, he has told
friends. But at the same time he said
he has not shut the door finally should
he consider 1t necessary to attend. HIS
advisers, however, doubt that he will

Mr.. Roosevelt recently told those
close to him that he intended to board
the cruiser Indianapolis at EaStport,
Me-, late next month for a speed trial
to Baltimore.
He plans to cruise to Eastport with
his four sons early in June.
It is believed the cruiser Is being
put in readiness not only for a speed
trial, but also for a quick trip across
the ocean to London If 1t becomes
necessary.

gret that he had not been included in the
conference Of Adjt. Gen. Gardner WAL
ler and T. Mccall Frazier, head of the
State police, with Gen. Hines, with

ference was called not for the purpose
of deciding on the site of the camp
but for the purpose of providing for
