Washington Optimistic For Dis
armament Conference After
Hitler's Speech.
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May II. New
hope for the success Of the Geneva
disarmament conference was ex-
pressed by American officials today
after they read Chancellor Adolf
Hitler's speech to the reichstag.
Officials felt that Franco-Ger-
man crisis PROBABLY had been avert
ed.
The state department read with
keen satisfaction Hitler's accept
ance of the non-aggression pact
proposed by President Roosevelt.
The chancellor IS declaration that
European war should be avoided
also was favorably received.
1t was believed the German at
titude, more moderate than had
been expected, might make posi-
BILE solution of the German arms
equality problem on the basis of the
resolution of last December IL,
which was agreed to by Great Bri-
tain, France and Italy. This reso-
luton admitted Germany's theor-
etical right to arms equality and
also provided for system of Eur
opean security.
The important point about Hit
ler's speech, in the view of officials
here, was that he did not close the
door to future negotiations in Cen
eva. Officials believed that there
is now a possibility of a European
agreement on the basis of the Mac.
Donald disarmament plan under
which Germany will be permitted
some slight increases in its military
forces.
Japan Position Doubtful
Only slightly less interest was
given to Japan. Ambassador Kat
sui Debuchi conferred last night
with Undersecretary of State Phil
lips, but said he had not been adj
vised whether his government
would accept the Roosevelt propos-
ais.
In informed quarters it was said
Japan might find it difficult to
accept without a reservation legal
izing the status of its troops in
Manchuria and China. There is
serious doubt that such reserva-
tion would be accepted by the
United States.
Such reactions from abroad to
the Roosevelt peace plan as had
reached the state department to-
day were favorable, Secretary of
State Hull said. Further word
from the worlds capitals was a
waited, but it was considered doubt
full that many official replies would
be received until the various for
eign offices had time to digest Hit
ler's speech.
Congressional reaction was favor
able, even among Republicans.

individuals; construct and own
transmission lines which eventual
ly viii carry the cheap government
power into many states: foster the
economic development OF the val
ley; build dams, flood control and
navigation works; conduct q fore
station operations.
This program would be financed
by an initial $50,O00,000 bond issue.
Eventually, it is contemplated that
possibly hundreds of millions more
may be expended as the far reach
ing plan gets fully underway.
The shoals, with it's nitrogen
plants built for war time use, will
also be turned to the production of
cheap fertilizer, under lease to some
private firm. Immediate improve
ment plans are provided in the bill.
In addition. two more dams are ex-
pected to be built within a short
time to add to the already huge
power resources at the command of
the federal commission. Provision
is made for construction of Cove
creek dam and the so-called "Dam

COAL AND OIL
AID DROPPED

WASHINGTON, May II. U.P)+
Hope for enactment of legislation
to aid the oil and coal industries
at this session of congress virtual
ly was abandoned today by admin
iStration officials.
Int rior department officials,
whose conferences in the past
month convinced them some form
of aid for these major industries
is imperative, explained that the
crush of legislative business ap-
peared certain to smother all eff
forts, to obtain passage of separate
coal and oil aid bills.
Secretary Ickes is hopeful Pres
ident Roosevelt soon will send a
proposed oil bill to congress even
if action on it cannot be obtained
this session.
Such a measure was sent to the
White House by the interior de-
partment last week. 1t embodies
most of the suggestions given Ickes
by oil producers and governors who
conferred with him.
After lengthy consideration, the
secretary has become convinced
that the so-called industry control
bill will not meet the needs of the
oil industry.
