washington, Nov 13-(AP)
g~ess will meet Monday to tackle I'M
finished farm and labor legislation
in a special session already overcast
by concern of the business outlook.
Pledged to make crop control the
first business, there were indications
from some members that possibly
some steps to improve the economic
situation were uppermost in their
minds.
Chairman O'Connor, Democrat. New
York, of the House Rules Committee,
suggested that Congress pass a sti-
mulator for business by immediate
tax revision. Many industrial and leg
'islative leaders have commended that
the capital gain and undivided profit
taxes were contributing to business
recession and have urged their modi-
ficatiOn
Speaker Bankhead, however, said,
tax revision was "too big a problem"
for hasty action. He and other leaders
went ahead with plans to fix legisla-

control, wage-hour, government reor-
ganization and regional planning.

Ell Paso, Texas, Nov. 13.-(AP)-
Caster Davis, member of the Federal
Reconstruction Board, declared today
business recession is only astemporary
period of readjustment.
The former AAA head said in 2
speech prepared for delivery before a
meeting of Southwestern Bankers AS
ISOLATION.

able to take this recession in our
stride in order that we may continue
further on the road to complete re-

Denying any monetary action Dy
the Federal reserve board, including
the increase Treasury requirements,
caused the decline, he attributed the
most of the recession to speculative
buying of goods when prices were RS
ing last spring. Accumulated lnven-
tories are being reduced now, and new
orders have resumed healthy pace.
No monetary measures are needed
to combat the recession, and further
devaluation would be inassesslve.
Davis business comment followed
the speech in Washington by CHAIR
man Jesse Jones, of the RFC, who
said the recession would be over, Ger

thought nothing in the economic sit

sells conference seeking to end the Chi
nese-Japanese war.
The Chinese delegate, DR.. Yelling
ton Koo urged a conference commit
foe to withhold war materials and
credit from Japan and supply them
to China.
This evoked Immediately objection
from Count Aldrovrandi-Mards
delegate of Italy, against which the
League of Nations decreed sanctions
because of invasion of Ethiopia, and
which has been Japans friend at Brus
sci.
That is entirely rolled OUT said
the Italian. 1--WE are not here for
that. That is entirely out of the scope
of the conference"
Nevertheless the United States and
British and French delegation pre-
sented conference with a draft of a
joint declaration stressing the illegal
ity of Japan's military action in
China and terming it, as amounting to
defying the whole world.
Previously the conference had heard

be the ruin of northern ranges, he
stated.
It was further argued that IF such a
scheme could bei carried into opera
tion-of which, fortunately, there is no
probability-it would, of necessity, in
a short time prove a miserable failure
from the fact that if confined to the
limits asked for, the trail, after a few
drives, would be found worthless for
supporting the herds that must pass
over it," The question resolved itself
back again to n of disease, and cattle
driven on the trail becoming the We
hicle carrying it.
IF it was expected by the proposed
grant from the government to
croach upon lands outside Of the de-
fined limit, it would soon be found that
dead lines similar to those established
in Kansas, would be drawn on either
side of the designated route along its
entire length. There is only n solu-
try, and that is all sections must free
themselves of every suspicion of dis
ease. If Texas desires to sell her cattle
freely she must annihilate the fever.
Half the money spent in attempting
to force an open market for her con-
tagious stock would stamp out all dis
ease, and until this is done the healthy

peril their interests to accommodate the
holders of stock in infectious localities,
even though the latter may outvote
them in a great convention. The trail,
however, is by no means established
by the action of the convention, and it
will never be established, for reasons
outside of the stock interests altogether,
even if these did not conflict with the
plan. Holders of herds along the pro-
posed line of travel could not afford
to risk the constantly threatened con-
tamination, and ranch owners would
not bear the entertainments each years
use of the so-called trail would bring
in %deviations from the outlined way.
More than all, the great northwest
is free from disease and does not pro-
pose to have it imported or driven in"
ton of privilege. Going up to the o S
trum he expressed a desire to put the
Montana delegation on record as unan-
imously opposed to the action on the
trail question taken by the committee
on the day before the fourth of the
convention. He gave as a reason the
over-crowded state of the cattle mar
kets of the northwest, which he feared,
he said, would be worse if the proposed
of the British possessions. No comment
was made on the remarks. It was plain
that the convention was determined to
go ahead with the scheme to secure
congressional legislation, following the
wording of the resolution, "as shall best
protect and promote the entire stock
interests of the United States, and offer
to each and every section of the coun-
try ample market and transportation
facilities"
