WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-R-
President Roosevelt was pictured by
high authorities Thursday as ready
TO examine "on its merits" the
program for recovery which cap
tains Of industry are bringing here
after q three-day conference at

The opinion expressed in official
quarters was that the president
would be glad TO receive any "co-
operative suggestions" from bust
ness. labor. farmers and other
groups as he puts his ideas on pa
per for the congress meeting jan
uaTy 3.
Many commentators viewed the
platform Of the business confer
ence for recovery" as conciliatory
in tone. although clashing in GER
tain respects with ideas Of some
high new dealers and with some
New Deal trends.
While the White House awaited
a copy of the platform OF the 90
business leaders. expected to be
brought here Thursday OF Friday by
c. B. Ames and George Mead. sew
eral new dealers on Capitol Hill
took shots at the program. Many,
including high republicans, with
held comment for the time.
Many governors, noting the buSi-
neSs mems suggestion that the re-
lief burden should be returned to
the states. said the time for that
was not yet arrived. Some aSsailed
the proposal. For instance. Gov.
Bryan Of Nebraska called it unfair
and unpatriotic."
The capital noted with interest
that the White Sulphur Springs
conference decided on a continuing

prominent men as John j.. RaSkob,

yesterday when the President asked
leaders to see that the Wagner labor

GENEVA, June 5.-The League OF
Nations today dispatched urgent cable
grams to Moscow and Toxic petition
ing Russia and Japan to join an inter-
national embargo on shipments OF
arms to Paraguay and Bolivia.
The pleas were sent to the two
nations after Italy announced it will
not send arms to the warning South
American nations If Japan and Russia
refrained from doing so. League Off
cials fear the problem is becoming a
sort of endless chain and that Russia
and japan may make participation
contingent on definite action Of other
states.
Italy, it was stated, reserves tn
right to fill arms orders already re,
ceived from the belligerents.
Luxembourg has agreed TO participate
in the embargo, but the League still
awaits a statement from Germany.
Officials are finding it increasingly
difficult and complicated to apply q
water-tight, collective ban on arms.
Whatever the ultimate outcome CT
the embargo may be, a Bolivian repre-
sentative said Bolivia will insist on a
treaty giving it perpetual right to
transport supplies across Chile and
Peru.

100000 emergency drought-relief pro-
gram today to congressional leaders,

gressed very rapidly through the De-

of approximately S5O0,0O0, 900, to be
| used by existing machinery, in provid-
| ing relief for stock and human beings

dent.
1T Is thought likely a separate bill
will be the best means of securing the
| legislation, but it may be attached
to the pending deficiency appropria-
ton bill
Little Time Needed.
"The legislation will not require
! much time in either house, and prob
ably will be acted upon just before
the end of the session, so that inter-
| vening time may be used in obtain
| ing further information and in formu-
lating plans Conditions are con-
stantly changing and no delay will
result"

| ing additional beef and dairy cattle
under the Jones-Connally act.

| processing cattle and other products
for relief purposes.
Work Programs.
| 3. A cash outlay of 10000 for

in the drought belt.
T. A live stock feed fund of $780,
900 1000.

ton Corps fund to provide employ

would be in addition to the regular

The Weather Bureau meantime pre-
dicted light scattered showers tonight

and Michigan, with the possibility of
some light rainfall also tonight in
Wisconsin, Western Iowa and in parts
