through well defined circles, is nearlng
the Miint of the upward swing of the
economic pendulum, according to the
annual report of the federal reserve

"There are those." the report said,
"who believe that the beginning of the
revival is not fur distant. Yhen It
tioes definitely set in it will he follow
ed in due course by a new era of pros

from prosperity, tho report said, has
followed its usual rotation. This rota
tion is described us follows:
Husiness activity und Increased pro
duction, excessive expansion and spec
ulation, followed hitherto by panic and
foixed liquidation; a long1 period of
slow liquidation, business depression
and then reverse.

Some Not Pleased
Certain segments of the Federated

pleased with his indorsement. Word
comes that they are not yet through
protesting, and it is supposed that the
gubernatorial situation came in for
lurther discussion at the meeting of
the- council of delegates scheduled for

It is rumored, pretty definitely, that
this council intends to mark time and
let Hall's candidacy rest in abeyance
until after he has issued his platform
in order that the leaders of the Feder

promises before they put the stamp of
final approval on his candidacy.

"Rerfponsive to senate resolution
Ko. 737, asking for records, minutes,
arguments, debates, conversations,
i etc., relating to the so-called four
power treaty, I have to advise that jt
I Is impossible to comply with the sen
ate's request. Many of the things
asked for In the resolution. It Is lit-
' formal and confidential conversations
j 0r discussions of which no record
i was kept or to submit tentative sug-'
' eestions or Informal proposals, with-
out which the arrival at desirable In
ternational understandings would be
rendered unlikely if not impossible.
"While I am ttuable to transmit
the information requested, I do, how
ever, take, this opportunity to say
most emphatically that there were no
concealed understandings and no se
cret exchanges of notes and there1
are no commitments with the excep
tions as appear in the four power
treaty itself and the supplementary
agreement which are now In tho
hands of the senate."
Without discussion the president's
letter was referred to the foreign re
lations committee, when It was read
in the senate, the motion being made
by Senator Hitchcock.
