LONDONDERRY, Northern Ireland,
July "A telephone call from Premier
Mussolini, advising prudence, caused
Gen. Italo Balbo today to postpone de-
parture Of the Italian fleet for Reyk-
javik, Iceland, on the next stage for
Chicago.
The Duce called up his air minister
and leader of the expedition and ad-
vised him not to take any risks with
the great armada, pointing out that 1t
would be folly to push ahead in the
face Of doubtful weather.
To lose any of the machines by tax
ing unnecessary chances, the Italian
premier said, would not be to the credit
Of his country. He wished that all "a
Of the seaplanes should successfully
complete the flight to the Century Of
Progress Exposition.
The venture Is being carried out for
the benefit of aviation generally by
testing efficiency Of the engines, the
head of the government said.
As q consequence Of the telephone
call Gen. Balbo decided that the re-
sumption of the flight should be post
poned.

TO LEAVE EUROPE
Prediction Made That Inter-

Become PIatonic.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

There can be no agreement ON gen.
eral tariff reduction nor on any Of the
other subjects provided in the agenda
of the London Economic Conference
without stabilization Of currencies, 1t
was stated this morning in Washington
diplomatic circles, which were still
stunned by the Presidents emphatic
mo" to the demands Of the European
gold bloc to bring about a facticious
stabilization Of the dollar.
The Washington representatives OF
the gold powers" who forsook their
usual Summer vacation in order to re-
main in town and inform their govern
ments about the American Official reac-
ton to the London discussions were
disturbed. They had stayed in the Ma
tional Capital and yet the only informa-
ton they were able to cable their gov
ernments were extracts from editorials
printed in the leading American papers.
Diplomats Learned Little.
Since the Presidents departure on
his holiday they had not been able to
gather even as much information re-
garding the American point Of view on
international affairs as the washington
reporters. From reading the press they
had gained the impression that the
communication of the President to the
London Conference would be a very
conciliatory one and framed in such a
language as to permit the conference
to proceed in the manner the European
nations wanted 1t to continue. They
complain now that they are somewhat
embarrassed and at loss to explain
to their respective governments why
they had not foceseen the powerful
In well informed quarters 1t is be-
lieved that this plain speaking of Mr..
Roosevelt is the forerunner Of q move
whereby America will cease its effective
cooperation with Europe. For the last
six weeks it had been said in quarters
close to the White House that II Europe
refuses to accept the Presidents offer
for a conditional consultative agreement
and disarm, and If the European powers
continue to play at the London Con-
ference their own game, without taking
into consideration the immediate needs
of the United States, it won't be long
before the President will withdraw his
offer for active cooperation with the
nations across the ocean. =
In spite of the re-assuring omcial
reports about the possibility OF an
agreement at Geneva some time In the
Fall" and that public opinion in Europe
is Craving for peace" there Is little
hope in ofiicial quarters that anything
can be achieved at the Disarmament

Conversations are still carried on be-
tween the various heads OF governments,

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
While the rest Of the Nation cele.
brated the Independence holiday. Pres.
ident Roosevelt secluded himself to-
day aboard the cruiser Indianapoli,
N Chesapeake Bay and charted q
course Of economic recovery toward the
ever-brightening horizon Of industry.
The countrys skipper" refreshed by
his two-week vacation of New Eng
land. and encouraged by optimistic re.
ports OF cabinet members, who visited
him aboard the warship yesterday, was
ready to take personal charge Of the
helm Of state on his return here to-
night or tomorrow.
Many Of his followers were hopefu.
that when he got back at his desk they
could determine exactly what he wants
now, from the London Economic Con-
ference.
Expected to Say Soon.
But they could not see him agreeing
to an adjournment Of the conference
just because some nations were piuued
at his refusal to stabilize now. He
wants something out of the conference;
what, his friends expected him to say
soon.
Meanwhile, though, he has pressing
domestic questions to answer. Many
OF them were put before him yeSter-
day in the meeting he had aboard the
Indianapolis with his cabinet. For In
stance, Secretary Of Interior Ickes told
the President about the development
of the $4,000, 100000 public works
program, which he heads.
Mr.. Roosevelt must decide whether
he Will approve construction projects
proposed by the War, Navy and Interior
Departments, as well as independent
bureaus. Postmaster General Farley
has prepared for him a list of around
1000 men recommended for appoint
ment to Federal jobs. Ickes submitted
what he called "a telephone directory
roster from which may be chosen 48
men to be State administrators Of public
works.
Tells Of Recovery Act.
Secretary of Commerce Roper had
told the President about progress of
the industrial recovery act plans. They
discussed the fixing, work-spreading
agreement of cotton textile operators,
which the Chief Executive will study in
detail before he approves, and the pros
poets of getting quick action by other
industries on similar trade codes.
The Veterans Administration also
was fixing up long list from which
will be selected members of the special
boards to review benefits to veterapk
whose ailments presumably originated
from service. Secretary Wallace was
ready to report the progress under the
cotton and wheat acreage reduction
programs and to see If the Chief had
any instructions.
The President continued to keep in
formed about international develop
ments in dispatches relayed through
the State Department. Besides hoping
for success at London, he wants the
Geneva Arms Limitation Conference to
get somewhere.
But he is putting full strength behind
the domestic program.
