ton at the beginning Of the year.

$35,690,807. These figures cover
postal costs only and it was estimat-
ed that printing and paper costs for

Delightful People"

Washington, June 9.-(AP)-Pres-
ident Roosevelt told a press confer
ence today he supposed he would
discuss international affairs with
King George of Britain in an infor-
NAL manner. However, when asked
whether he had or would talk such
matters with His Majesty, the chief
executive remarked that the CONVEX
satlOnS would not be significant.
MIR. Roosevelt said he would talk
with the king just as he would with
members Of the press In these DAYS
OF strenuous world affairs, he said.
one could hardly talk to another with
out mentioning the subject. He ad-
ded, however, that it would not mean
anything.
The President described the king
and queen as very, very delightful
people" He permitted the direct
quotation.
Asked about a newspaper story as
quoting the king as saying it was all
right to call him, George" the Pres
ldent smiled and replied he would
have to call that :'another newspaper
story
Meanwhile, Senator Barkley, of
Kentucky, Democratic leader, told
reporters "it is possibility, but not
a probability" that Congress will ad-
journ by July Is. Barkley said con-
gressional leaders would be unable to
give President Roosevelt a definite
quitting date until about two weeks
before adjournment.
1t definitely is possible, he said,
that neutrality legislation could be
enacted before members of Congress

Senator Pittman, Democrat New

Relations Committee, said that he had
never seen such a spontaneous and
universal expression Of friendship

Their Hands After
Garner and Bankhead
Speak to Them; 400
Odd Others Follow

Washington, June 9.-(AP)-Bri-
tains youthful sovereigns exchanged
cordial greetings with American leg
islators today in a brilliant Capitol
reception demonstrating a new close
bond of friendship between two great
English-speaking peoples.
Standing in the huge high-domed
Capitol rotunda, King George VI and
Queen Elizabeth had smile and
royal handshake for the 4OO-odd SEN
ators and representatives crowded
into the chamber.
The monarchS stood less than 100
yards from the spot where victorious
British troops held mock legislative
session in the House chamber 125
years ago, and then sacked and burn
ed the Capitol.
SeVenty-fOur-year old Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, dean of
the Senate, was the first, other than
the reception committee, to meet the
king and queen after they were es-
corted inside by a reception commit
tee headed by Senator Pittman, Dem
ocrat, Nevada, chairman of the for
eign relations committee.
The king and queen first were
greeted at the door of the rotunda
by Vice-President Garner and Speak
er Bankhead. King George chatted
with Pittman until the reception got
under way.
Out on the Capitol Plaza, blazing
under a hot sun, thousands cheered
the arrival Of the royal visitors. AL
though the top was up on the car
in which they rode, the queen car
ried the parasol which had shielded
her from the sun during yesterdays
tumultuOus reception.
1t was another typically crowded
program for the shy, smiling monarch
and his vivacious queen-a recep-
ton for 1000 British subjects, pres
entation of members of Congress, and
the placing of wreaths on the tombs
Of George Washington and Amer
ica's Unknown Soldier.

GERMANY DISTRUSTS NEW

"distrusts'' the conciliatory speeches
made yesterday by Prime Minister
Chamberlain and Foreign Secretary
Viscount Halifax as a diplomatic
maneuver connected with the hard

There were no indications at the
foreign office that Germany would
treat the parliamentary statement by
Lord Halifax as an invitation to talk
business on colonial and economic
