(AP) The United States gov
ernment was Bald in official Quar
ters tonight to be" arming Itself for
economic war It International ef
forts at the world economic con
ference should fall to achieve low
ered trade barriers.
At the same time, officials ex
pressed some concern lest strong
nationalistic - feelings In various
parts of the world should lessen
the prospects of success not only
at London but In the arms reduc
tion conference at Geneva;
Open pessimism as to the pros
pect of lowering tariff and other
trade barriers at the London con
ference opening June 12 has been
expressed, by Assistant Secretary
Raymond Moley of the state de
partment, close advisor of Presi
dent Roosevelt and one of the
leading architects; of his domestic
reconstruction program.
Secretary Hull; a life-long ad
vocate of low tariffs, has taken
a more optimistic view in general
but has told newspapermen It
must be determined forthwith
whether tariff moderation will be
the objective or whether the goal
will, bo finally j abandoned and
every nation turn back upon a
policy of commercial isolation.
Other officials;, said definitely,
though privately,! that the United
States Is putting j itself in a posi
tion to embark on a policy of com
parative commercial Independence
of the rest of the world and to

Would Avert Recurrence of
March 4 Crisis; Insure
Safety of Deposits
WASHINGTON, May 25 (AP)
A steel-flanged banklngabill de-1
signed to prevent a recurrence of
such a financial emergency as
rocked the coiiry on March 4,
precipitating the bank holiday,
was passed today by the senate j
with less than four hours of de
bate.
Revised considerably from the
form in which it held the senate
in prolonged dispute and tilibus-
ter last session, the bill passed
the formality of a record vote.
It carries provisions for both
emergency and permanent insur
ance of bank deposits and calls
for the severance of banking and
Investment businesses. Like the
bill of the last session, it bore
the name of Senator Carter Glass
(D-Va.). who led the long fight
for the legislation.
The measure will go into the
hands of a conference committee
which will reconcile differences
between the senate bill and the
one passed by the house Tuesday.
The two are similar except for
slightly different deposit insur
ance provisions.
