 Foremost Problem
 Foremost among these was the threatening European situation. Further American action in the Ethiopian crisis was expected to be the subject of almost immediate discussions with Hull.
 Second on the list of problems was the task of speeding the re- employment of the nations idle url- der the works progress drive.
 Presence of Hull in the welcoming delegation was appeared to indicate that MT. Roosevelt would give quick attention to the European situation.
 Before the president is the ques-. tioi1 of possible additional action in cooperation with the League of Na- tions in embargoing shipments to warning Italy and Ethiopia.
 At present shipment of arms and munitions to the belligerent nations is forbidden. The possibility re- mained of embargoing raw na- terials used in manufacturing muni- tions and furthering the cause of war.
 Administrator advisors have been divided over whether MT. Roosevelt has power to halt such trading ,in- der the new neutrality legislation.
 Discuss Leagues Note
 The president also will discuss with Hull the note received from the League of Nations outlining steps taken thus far in the war situation. Whether an American answer to this note will be forth coming must be determined.
 Immediate attention must be giv- en to the five-power naval confer ence to be held in London next month under terms of the expiring Washington and London naval treaties. An American delegation must be selected.
 Although administration opinion has indicated that little can be ex- pected from such conference at this time, the American position for the meeting will have to be clari- fled.
 The chief executive in an address at Charleston, s. O., his debarka- ton port, declared emphatically that i've are on our way" and attributed industrial and economic gains to his planning program. Evidences of improvement, he said, were noted on his recent -continen- tai swing.
 Keep America Out
 In connection with the European crisis he reiterated to an audience of 10000 enthusiastic democrats at Charleston that he would continue his efforts to keep America free and unentangled" fro impossible wars across the seas.
 His remarks were an echo of those delivered early this month at San Diego, California, a few hours before he obarded the Houston to visit lower California, Cocos Island, Panama and remote islands on the Atlantic side of the Panama canal.
 In a press conference aboard the Houston he told Washington news paper correspondents that Hull probably would be his first caller to-day after which he planned to tackle an accumulation of mail and other routine matters.
 His intentions are to remain in Washington about week then stay at Hyde Park, N. r., until repairs on the White House are completed. Later in November he will make his usual pilgrimage to Warm Springs, Ga.
 Blue Jackets Remembered
 After his speech, the president entrained for Washington but not until party of blue jackets from the Houston had slowed in the bag gage car the preserved carcass of the 134 pound sailfish he landed after a two hour fight off Cocos island.
 That fish will be shipped to the Smithsonian institution for stuffing and mounting and will be kept anon its permanent exhibits.
 Enroute northward MT. Roosevelt was accompanied by Secretary of the Interior Harold l.. Ickes, and Harry Hopkins, WPA administrators who were his guests on the cruise, Postmaster General James A. Far ley and James Roosevelt. his eid- est son.
 A checkup to-day by navy com- munication officers revealed that while the president was ct sea 223, ,000, words dealing with official business were taken in by navy radio for his attention 53,000 of which were in code.
