UTILITIES hint
new DEAL PEACE
Carlisle Says New York
Board Has Not "lnter-
fered" With Capital.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-signs Of
rapprochement between the admin
istration and private utilities were
increased today by statements Of two
utility executives who have already
conferred at the White House with
President Roosevelt-Floyd L. Carlisle,
chairman Of the Niagara Hudson
Power Corp and Of the Consolidated
Edison Co. Of New York, and Wendell
L. Willkie, president Of the Common
wealth & Southern Corp.
Appearing at . meeting Of the New
York State Public Service Commission,
Carlisle said that In no instance, as
far as he was concerned, had the COM
mission ever interfered with the
efforts Of his companies to obtain new
capital.
His declaration was in reply to q
direct question my Milo r. Maltbie,
chairman of the commission. The
question was prompted by criticism,
made In times past, that the commits
sion had hampered utility financing.
Reads Letter From Gadsen.
Maltbie also read letter from p. s.
Gadser, chairman Of the Committee
Of Public Utility Executives, in WASH
ington. which corroborated Carlisle's s
statement
Willkie-whose proposals for q
peace pact between the New Deal
and private interests were contained
in a memorandum submitted to the
President, which was made public yes
terday in Washington by authorita-
tive sourceS-Said, in an interview.
that "prolonging the bitterness be-
tween corporate enterprise and Gov
ernment could only harm the coun-
try"
The day has come" Willkie said,
FOR both business men and Govern
ment officials to make a sincere and
honest effort to solve comparatively
the problems which are seriously slow
ing the processes of recovery, and in
some situations actually causing busi-
ness recession.
Hits Exchange Of Barbs.
NO business man can accomplish
anything by leaning back in his chair
and calling President Roosevelt names.
Likewise, no Government official can
accomplish anything by continuing to
talk about economic royalists and
princes of privilege. ="
"A business man may complain that
the President has oyerca pitaljzed the
discomfort of the public against busi-
ness, but he can't say that the dis
| content did not exist
There is growing tendency, Willkie
continued, "for cooperation between
business and government. What the
President or business men do now will
only speed up or slow down q course
OF action which is bound to come.
Why not bring it about at once. 90 as
to avoid another serious business re-
cession."

ROAD FUNDS CUT
SPLITS CONGRESS
Roosevelt's Plan to Balance
Budget Makes Foes of
Those Hit.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's proposal to
curtail road expenditures has created
in Congress the same split that has
developed among presidential advis-
ers over the wisdom of balancing the
Federal budget at this time.
Much of the opposition was directed
at the Presidents choice of highway
funds as the first medium for reducing
expenditures. Western Senators espe-
cially opposed cancellation of $2l4,-
100000 already authorized for distri-
button to the States in 1899.
Voices also were raised against the
general policy of balancing the budget
under present economic conditions.
although many legislators still fav-
ored such action.
Republican Changes Mind.
Some Senators who heretofore have
advocated quick balancing of the bud
get said the business decline now called
for different strategy. One express
sion of this kind came from a New
England Republican-Senator Austin
Of Vermont.
1--WE got over the idea that the Gov
ernment has to rush to balance the
budget" Senator Austin said. I'VE
can't hope to balance it with rising
oollgations arising from the increased
need of relief and industrial stimula-
ton.
I'VE can't change New Deal spend
ing policies suddenly, abruptly, with
out creating great injury"
On the Democratic side, Senator
Plttman OF Nevada said he had never
considered balancing the budget so
acute an emergency as reducing un-
employment" He said he believed
the Presidents highway proposal was
an error.
Unfortunate, Says McNary.
Republican Leader McNary of Ore
gon called the Presidents highway
message "a very unfortunate effort
to balance the budget"
Some advocates of budget balanc-
ing, including Senators Burke, Demo-
crat, of Nebraska; Bailey, Democrat,
OF North Carolina, and Walsh, Demo-
crat, of Massachusetts,, said they
would go along with the Presidents
recommendation-even though they
disliked the particular proposal-in an
effort to equalize receipts and ex-
penditures.
Il am going to go along with the
President in this effort toward bal
ancing the budget" Senator Burke
commented. 1T is going to hurt my
section of the country to have road
expenditures cut, but we will have to
let the chips fall where they may
Senator Bailey asserted emphatical-
~: I am going to support the Presi-
dent in any moves he makes to cut
expenditures"
Some Senators and House members
said they would vote against cutting
road funds but would support reduc-
tions in other appropriations.
In some quarters it was suggested
the President purposely had chosen
the popular road program for his
f1rst cut as test of congressional
economy sentiment Others declared
he might have selected it to force a
congressional reversal of his budget
balancing program.

LONDON, Dec britain and
France, informed sources disclosed to-
day, will sound out Czechoslovakia and
Austria on their willingness to make
concessions to Reichsfuehrer Hitler on
the problem of German minorities
within their borders.
This next step in the campaign for
European security-part of a vast
diagnosis of European sore spots
will be taken as result of the just
concluded French-British diplomatic
talks.
London and Paris, showing more
willingness to help Germany than at
any time since the Versailles Treaty,
hoped in return they might draw con-
crete commitments toward peace from
the Berlin-Rome diplomatic axis.

DelbOs, who received the British views
at length in two days Of talks which
closed yesterday, will conduct part of
the inquiry into the minorities situa-

later this week.
The nature of the concessions which
might be expected of Czechoslovakia
and Austria was not disclosed.

Of an imminent Nazi putsch in Ger
nlan-populated sections Of C1echo-
slovakia to reunite the more than
100000 Germans under the Praha

rumors.
Before M. Delbos and French Pre-
mier Camille Chautemps left London
yesterday, it was learned, they assured
Czechoslovakia's Minister to Britain,
Jan Garrigue Masaryk, that Britain
had promised to cooperate with Gen.

the Premiers and Foreign Ministers
of Britain and France offered the best
opportunity in years for achieving q
general understanding and q reduc-

admitted the task would be long and
difficult.
