INTERNATIONAL !UC
 IF WAR UNDERWAY BECAUSE 0F REWs|ONs

WASHINGTON, D. C., May g. An international tug of war is in full swing with Great Britain and France apparently seeking war debt revision as the price of ac- ceptlng President Roosevelt's tar if truce.
 The outlook has become so gloomy that the administration may change entirely the character of the delegation that will repre- sent the United States at the world economic conference at London.
 Originally President Roosevelt intended to appoint a delegation dominated by economists ac- quainted with the worlds com- mercial needs. In view of recent developments the economists may be supplemented by few hard boiled" statesmen, capable of play ing the international political game which Europe apparently in- tends to pursue.

OBSERVERS WILLING BET TWO ID ONE THAT
 DEPRESSION IS OVER

WASHINGTON, D. C., May g, - The higher ups here all believe the depression is about over. But only a few have the nerve to say SO publicly.
 They know what happened to the Hoover administrator officials who started cheering before the game was finished. They will bide their time for that reason until the evidence is indisputa ble.
 They are privately counting on the fact that the President has power for the first time to pull the strings if things start sagging again. He can adjust money, cred it and prices to suit the demands of the hour.
 If all that ballast cannot keep the ship on an even keel, nothing can. Reasoning that way they are willing to bet two to one that the sailing will be smoother from here on.
