Two Results Demanded.
Announcing Germany's acceptance OF
the British plan, Herr Nadolny said:
THE German people maintain and
demand that the conference produce
two results-f1rst, security by disarm-
ament of the heavily armed states, and,
second, achievement Of equality rights
for Germany"
After the meeting had been ad-
journed to tomorrow the German rep
resentatives told newspaper correspond
ents that Germanys acceptance Of the
British draft as the basis of all arms
convention meant that his government
would not press any fundamental
changes in that draft.
Much depends on what the heavily
armed nations do, he explained. but
some of the German amendments
which have been presented will be
withdrawn, some will be modified and
others will be maintained.
A number of the chief delegates,
meanwhile, awaited from Davis an
exact definition Of the Washington

international pact against an aggressor

gressor, refusing assistance to the ag-
gressor after Identification; participa-

OIL CONTROL
IN INDUSTRY BILL
Roosevelt Prepares Letter
for Rainey and Garner
on Situation.

Inclusion of special provision in
the industrial supervision bill to give
the Government control over the oil
industry is contemplated by the ad-
ministration.
The President has prepared a letter
to send to Vice President Garner and
Speaker Rainey outlining the situation
in the oil industry, which is regarded
as serious as q result OF oyerproduc-
tion.
Secretary Ickes has prepared the bill
providing Federal control, and the
President believes 1t might be int luded
as a part of the pending industrial
supervision measure.
Representative Marland, Democrat,
Of Oklahoma, said this morning the ad-
ministrations oil-production bill would
be introduced late today.
Marland said the President approved
the principles of the proposal late yes
terday and left it up to the Interior
Department to complete the draft. 1t
will provide, the Oklahoman said, for
the supervision of the oil industry by
the Interior Department.
Step Proposed in March.
Marland, a former Oklahoma oil
magnate, proposed the step to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary of the In
terior Ickes early in March. He has in
troduced numerous bills dealing with
the oil industry and designed to curb
overproduction.
He said President Roosevelt would
send letters to members Of Congress
today asking for the legislation.
Power for a Federal co-ordinator to
allocate oil production on Nationwide
basis and provisions prohibiting the in
terstate shipment Of petroleum pro-
duced in violation of the quotas will
be principal clauses of the oil measure.
The principal provision Of the meas
ure was worked out by oil men some
time ago. It involves heretofore un-
tried regulation under the commerce
the petroleum industry are confident
that the bill will be constitutional If
administered reasonably.
A tentative figure of 2,000,000 bar
rels day for the entire country has
been arrived at, but Oil men say this
Is simply a measuring stick and the
quota finally decided upon may be less
or more.
Confident that the administration
will support the legislation, groups in
the industry today were preparing for
vigorous campaign to secure approval
At this session Of Congress.
As the bill stands the power to allo-
cate production would rest with the
Secretary OF the Interior. Immediately
upon enactment he would call repre-
sentatives of the State regulatory bodies
and oil producers to work out produc-
ton quotas for each State.

Order Must Precede
World Peace.
A ioint statement today by President

A joint statement today by President
Roosevelt and T. v. Soong, vice pres1-
dent of the executive Yuan and minis
ter OF finance of the Republic of China,
said the two had discussed the serious
developments in the Far East, and ex-
pressed the hope that these hostilities
may soon cease in order that the pres
ent effort of all the nations Of the world
to re-establish political and economic
peace may succeed.
The statement said 1t was considered
essential that the price OF silver, the
great medium of exchange Of the East,
should be enhanced and stabilized"
Agreement Is Noted.
The Joint statement follows in full:
cat the conclusion Of our converse
tions we note with profound gratitica-
ton that we are in agreement in re-
gard to the practical measures which
must be taken for q solution Of the
major problems which today confront
the world.
I'VE agree that economic stability
cannot be achieved without political
tranquility and that economic disarma-
ment can be obtained only in world
in which military disarmament Is pos
sible. 1t Is our ardent hope that peace
may be assured and that to this end
practical measures Of disarmament may
soon be adopted. In this connection
our thoughts naturally have turned to
the serious developments in the Far
East, which have disturbed the peace
Of the world during the past two years.
There the military forces of two great
nations have been engaged in destruc-
tive hostilities. We trust that these
hostilities may soon cease in order that
the present effort OF all the nations Of
the world to re-establish political and
economic peace may succeed.
Chaos Must Give Way.
I'VE are in entire agreement that
present unreasonable obstacles to inter-
national trade must be removed and
that the present financial and monetary
chaos must be replaced by order. In
this connection we consider 1t essential
that the price of silver. the great me-
dium of exchange Of the East. should
be enhanced and stabilized. We are in
the closest agreement as to many other
measures which must be adopted for
the rehabilitation of the economic life
Of China and of the world and we are
both resolved to approach the problems
of the World Economic Conference, as
well as the problems Of the Disarma-
ment Conference, with the determina-
tion necessary to bring their labors to
success"

GLASS BANK BILL
GETS RIGHT OF WAY
Measure Is Given Preference
in Both House and
Senate.
pvtbe Ascociated p-s.,

BY the Associated Press
The Glass-Steagall bank reform bill
today had right of way in both Senate
and House after a Senate committee
rejected a last-minute proposal by Sec
retary of the Treasury Woodin for
amending the bills clause for insurance
of all bank deposits
Under the Woodin proposal, all bank
deposits would be insured with the
backing of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. This was rejected by
Senate banking subcommittee
Woodin's Plan Submitted.
tute for the bank deposit insurance
clause of the bank reform bill and de-
scribed as more liberal than those
hitherto advanced, was submitted at
the same time that the House Rules
Committee was being told President
Roosevelt would interpose no objection
to consideration of the measure this ses-
sion.
That statement was made by Chair
man Steagall Of the House Banking
committee, co-author of the bill with
Senator Carter Glass Of Virginia. The
status of the bill has been undecided,

stood to be framed to take effect imme-
diately
Debate on the Glass bill was due to
Degln In the Senate chamber this aft
ernoon.
Steagall asked the Rules Committee
Tor permission to bring the bill up In
the House tomorrow.
New Amendment Sought,
As the Senate approached consider
alton Of the Glass bank bill, a move
ment was taking shape to add to the
measure an amendment for the insur-
ance of all bank deposits up to $2,50o
for one year, with fund backed by
the Treasury. The amendment is
gaining bipartisan support.
The amendment was drafted by
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, Of
Michigan, original Senate proponent of
insuring deposits, after a long series
of conferences with other Senators who
felt the insurance clause of the bank
bill should be liberalized.
Vandenberg's proposal is intended to
fill the gap between enactment of the
bill and the proposed effective date of
the Glass insurance plan, July /, 1884.
Deposits in all banks up to $2,500
would be insured during that period
from fund made up of an assessment
of one-half of per cent Of all deposits,
supplemented by another assessment of
the same size is necessary. The Gov
ernment would put UP any additional
funds needed, but authors of the plan
are confident such a situation would
not arise.
Vandenberg said he and those favor
ing his plan offered it to cover what
they consider as three flaws" In the
pending insurance plan. He described
them as follows:
First, that it doesn't become efIec-
tive until July l, 1884. though the need
is greater In the next year than for
the next 100 years.
Second, that it depends entirely on
bank assessments for solvency, and
although these should carry the load,
many of us insist that finally we have
got to throw the credit Of the Govern
ment back Of it.
Third, it applies only to Federal
Reserve member banks and those banks
that subsequently qualify as members,
and leaves out thousands Of State banks
which at least at the inception Of the
plan have got to stand on a parity or
go out of business"
