pare Notes.

Fifty or more of the countrys most
prominent business men and indus
trialists are planning TO put their
heads together within the next 10

to give business a quasi-off1cial or
ganization through which it could
study the Government and speak with
more authority than outside organlza-
tions.

end of this month, and it has an
nounced it expects to present recon-
nendations for N. R. A. These rec
concentrations will be largely based
on the Hot Springs discussions.

to attend are Alfred P. Sloan, presi-
dent of General Motors; Henry I.
Hartman, president of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States;
John j. Raskob, former General

FRANCE ST|RS HOPE
FOR ARMS PARLEY!:
Move to Avoid Race With
Germany May Revive
Geneva Meeting.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, June 7.-France's appar-
ent desire to prevent a ruinous arms
race with Germany today gave some
delegates hope for the Reich's return
to Geneva and real progress by the
world disarmament conference.
But the conference remained di-
vided and the Steering Committee was
in adjournment until tomorrow. Brit
ish, French, American and other dele
gates conferred privately today.
The action of Louis Barthou.
French foreign minister. in presenting
a new plan of action led Arthur Hen
derson, president Of the conference, to
proclaim publicly that an atmosphere
Of good will prevailed.
Only Tuesday Henderson threatened
to resign after a bitter clash with
Barthou.
Many Still Pessimistic.
Despite this reassuring sign, many
delegates remained pessimistic. Brit
ish and American representatives said
they favored concrete action as soon
as possible on actual disarmament.
Barthou revealed Paris Is angling
for Germany's return to the confer
ence, which several nations contend
is essential before disarmament can
DC achieved. The French program
includes investigation of regional
pacts, the munitions traffic and in
standardization of aviation.
He suggested the conference 60
ahead with its work "in regard to
which the governments wishing to do
so might retain freedom to use those
diplomatic means which, in their
opinion, might induce Germany to
take her place again in the conference.
Americans Hopeful.
Private disarmament negotiations
were pursued vigorously last night and
today with the Americans saying the
situation looked slightly more hope
full.
A British spokesman said no agree
ment had been reached. adding there
was mo marriage between the Brit
ish and French viewpoints"
Norman Davis, United States dele
gate, entertained at lunch for Fran
co.'s Pietri, the French minister of
marine, and Capt. Anthony Eden,
British lord privy seal.
Joseph Beck. foreign minister Of
Poland, left Geneva, and Barthou will
leave tomorrow night.

The N. R. A. committed itself today
against all price fixing in codes ex-
cept in clear-cut emergencies.
The new policy also sharply modi-
fies the bases for price sections in all
codes, negotiation instead of compul-
sion to be used to get coded indus
tries to revise such sections on the
revised bases.

This was the first definite pro-
nouncement by the recovery admins
tration on the controverted pricing
question, and followed months OF
study. 1t will govern all future codes,
and industries already coded are to
be approached at once with the re-
quest for voluntary amendments to
conform with the new policy.
The purpose is to obviate deStruc-
tive price cutting while reducing to
a minimum opportunities for artificial
maintenance of high prices, and SINH
Jar developments which have caused
complaint.
The arrangement will permit open
price provisions in codes where de-
sired by an industry. but on the con-
dition that prices be reported to a
confidential disinterested agency for
distribution TO all members of the in
dustry and customers willing to pay
for the service.
No Waiting Period.
Such posted price may not be re-
vised upward within 48 hours, but
may be reduced without time limit.
The prices posted viii represent ac-
tual transactions or offers and there
will be no waiting period during which
competitors may make arrangement
for a uniform price.
The new policy also encourages
adoption by industries of model cost
finding and accounting provisions, but
expressly provides that no account
ing methods may be forced on any
company by the code authority or
other firms.

BRITISH REJECT PLAN.
Insist Upon Henderson's Original Pro-
posal.

LONDON, June I [P).-Omcial quar-
ters said today the British govern
ment will not accept disarmament pro-
posals made by Louis Barthou, French
foreign minister, in Geneva.
The government, said these sources,
has instructed Capt. Anthony Eden,
lord privy seal and British repre-
sentative at the Disarmament Con-
ference, to attempt to get the French
to sgree to the original suggestion
relative to arms levels made by Arthur
Henderson, the president of the con-
ference.
It was stated Great Britain will not
be turned from her self-imposed role
of umpire in the tangled disarmament
controversy.
Diplomatic circles said they did not
believe the French would yield much
ground, but both official and dip
lomatic quarters professed belief that
a complete breakdown of the con-
ference would be averted.
