Davis Assured European Nations Will
Aid in Economic Peace.

LONDON, May (P.-Norman Davis
received last night final assurances of
British and general European CO.
operation with the United States in
solving world economic problems.
Since the United States Ambassador
at-large has been in London, he talked
with leading European statesmen
whose pledge of cooperation he is ex-
pected to convey to President Rocse-
welt.
Last doubts as to the validity OF
these assurances, it is felt here, were
dispelled by agreement of the % par
tlcipating countries to sign the inter-
national sugar conference agreement.
Davis called the sugar conference
probably the most successful inter-
national dellberation I ever saw" and
it is expected to become the model for
future economic negotiations.
Although Davis declared in an in
terview that he is unable now to
visualize the complete framework of
world economic cooperation. he
stressed the paramount Importance of
world currency alignment and Anglo
American trade agreement as pre-
liminarieS.
Since before President Roosevelt
and Walter Runciman, president of
the British Board of Trade, con-
versed at the White House, trade talks
between London and Washington have
been progressing as shown in state
u1ents in Commons.
Davis indicated his conviction that
details will be handled directly be-
tween proper departments of the two
governments. Those close to him be-
leve that his outstanding contribution
toward success of any forthcoming
treaty lay in mailing down assurances
of British willingness to cooperate
upon basis of mutual concessions.
Davis pointed out that the ultimate
purpose of world economic co-opera-
ton is to prevent either military re-
armament of war from Wrecking ma
tional self-suf1ciency, which both re-
armament and war are mistakenly
designed to achieve.
He advocated economic disarma-
ment" Immediately as guaranteed to
make military rearmament or war
unnecessary.

The authoritative Italian writer,

three conditions:
l. That the agreements be consistent
and not Utopian.
2. That they be inspired by respect
for the interests Of all nations and free
from monopolistic tendencies.
3. That they do not pretend to in
terfere with the policy of economic
self -suf1ciency which external condi-
tions have imposed on Italy and Ger
many.
MuSsolini and Won Neurath also
agreed, Gayda said, on their gov
ernments' readiness to discuss a new
Locarno pact, las soon as all the
implications of Belgium's new position
are clarified and European relations
are freed from the grave and danger
Gus burden of the Spanish problem"
The future policy of Italy and Ger
many in Spain, according to Gayda,
Is TO restore in Spain conditions and
means Of self-determination through

New London, March 19-Hor- Tor in the nations worst school disaster in history, mounted to- day as the tangled wreckage of the New London consolidated school yielded scores of crushed bodies. The knwn dead has reach ed several hundred.
 Walter Elliott, Texas highway patrol captain reported at the Austin headquarters that 800 bod ies including those of seventeen teachers, had been taken from the explosion-torn, luxurious school which was built by the oil wealth of the vast east Texas fields, which was wrecked yester- day by mysterious blast.

 Some authorities estimated the ultimate death toll would range above six hundred.
 Elliott added that order had been restored to the stricken com- munity where Governor Aired had declared martial law last night after inrushing sightseers and rescue workers mingled with frenzied parents, bringing about chaotic conditions.
 Elliott said "the work of ex- amining the buildings for bod ies should be completed today"
