WASHINGTON, May 1. There will
be no International economic confer
ence, no disarmament conference, no
rgchsnge In the value
of nold. Prpnident
Roosevelt has
made his decision.
It was reached at
a White House
1 .1 conference of cab
inet members In
7 ff j which there was
WCT discussion pro as
the end. the Presi
dent decided for
l'aul Mallon the cons and went
fishing. .
It Is true that something more
than .talk lay behind all these con
ference and gold rumors In circu
lation lately both here snd abroad.
It seems to be also true that Stat
Secretary Hull( while denying the ru
mors, personally harbored hope that
something constructive could be ac
complished Internationally through
the conference medium. Mr. Hull
lost the argument at the White
House conference, as well as his
hopes.
The triplicate negaltve decision will
be made public shortly In some af
firmative way, possibly announcing a
movement to forward personal eon
tacts and co-operations between Mr.
Hull and the prime ministers of the
leading European nations. Or per
haps a safer way to say It la that
Mr. Hull was designated to work out
whatever Is to be said as a result
of the decision.
The reasons which caused the deci
sion are not to be stated' definitely.
It la obvious, however, that our am-bassador-at-large,
Norman Davis, re
gardless of whatever personal hopes
he may have developed In London,
has been unable to Inspire tbe Presi
dent with any marked encourage
ment for the success of an economic
or arms conference. At least, the
president sees no reason to assume
the responsibility for championing a
conference, despite some official and
much unofficial pressure from Britain
and some of the other nations. And
If the United States does not cham
pion a conference, of course, no one
else will.
It is the same old story. All na
tions want something out of a con
ference. None wants to give any
thing. Prance wants security, Ger
many credit, Britain a preferred
pound, Russia protection, Italy more
credit. And all want debt cancella
tion. If any of these nations Is In a
mood to make bona fide concessions,
It has not yet made Its willingness
plain. And you may be sure they
won't.
The history of modern conferences
also Is fresh In executive memory.
When Uncle Same played host before
to the world, the nations came sing
ing his pralsea. They ate his food,
rejoicing that he was the savior of
the world. Good will popped and
bubbled like champagne. But when
It was over, the discovery was made
that some silverware was missing
from the pantry.
F. D. R. does not know It, but he
has been nominated for one of the
oldest but not necessarily the most
exclusive clubs of statesmen. It la
a very honest group of democratic
members of the bouse who have fore
gathered dally in the cloakroom since
any living member can remember.
They call themselves the demagogue
club.
After the revised budget was re
ceived a few days back, a meeting
of the club was called to consider
what was thought to be a club crisis.
One member presented the situation
like this:
"It has always been the honored
prerogative of members of congress to
cemagogue freely. We have bad the
exclusive right to promise our con
stituent something for nothing.
"We have always had the assurance
that when we passed these dema
gogue bills, a president would veto
them or the supreme court would
btrtke them down.
"But now we have a man tn the
White House who can out-demagogue
uf . and If our safeguard of the su
preme court la removed, how are we
going to get re-elected?"
The matter was taken under semi
lerlous advisement.
Talk of a constitutional democratic
party to supplant the Republican
party is coming from bigger authori
ties with greater gusto. They are
serious about It.
It Is known there is at least one
Democratic senator sjratnst whom
trie Republicans wtll offer no opposi
tion the next time he runs. This
nas already been discussed and (un
officially) decided. Several other
similar case are In the discussion
tae.
Most Republican authorities are
Inclined to leave t:.e mattr- to rei

WASHINGTON, May J. flpy Two
western senators Republican William
E. Borah of Idaho and Democrat Wil
liam E. King of Utah joined tonight
in branding presidential and con
gressional economy - proposals as un
satisfactory. Borah said he was "not deeply in
terested" In either a proposal by
senate leaders for a flat 10 percent
cut on all appropriations or a sug
gestion by President Roosevelt that
15 percent of the appropriations be
impounded for possible use later.
King declared he opposed both
plans, but of tho two. preferred the
10 percent cut. He warned against
Increased expenditures, as did Borah,
who said the trend of congress was
shown by tho $00,000,000,000 in ap
propriation bills now before It..
'I do not believe In horizontal
outs." Borah said In a prepared state
ment. "The thing to do Is first to
stop incurring new and extraordinary
expenses. In addition wc should elim
inate certain bureaus and commis
sions and cut out those on payrolls
who are not needed."
The Utahan asserted the burden of
trimming governmental cost "rests
on congress," and warned: .
"Already the public debt la so
great and the threat of additional
bond Issues so eminent that the mar
ket price of bonds fell and there
Is some concern as to whether addi

MONTS, France, May 1. (UP)
Mrs. Wall is Simpson Indicated to me
tn an exclusive interview today that
wire tappers havo forced her to cut
short her talks by telephone with
the Duke of Windsor and havo pre
vented discussion of definite mar
riage plans.
Tampering with the wires has oc
curred continually of late, she said,
and because of their anxiety to keep
their plans secret, she and the duke
have simply exchanged greetings and
trivialities.
Boti Mrs. Simpson and Mr. and
Mrs. Herman L. Rogers, tn any case,
insisted that no date has been set,
but I gathered that one will -fixed
as soon as Edward arrives t
Cande Castle here. The ceremony
undoubtedly will take place at tho
cattle. And If there la a honeymoon.
It will not be an aerial one.' In spite
of the duke's love of aviation, be
cause Mrs. Simpson loathes flying
and will travel only by car or train.
Florence or Rome, I gathered, are
the likeliest destinations.
Besides wire tappers, Mrs. Simp
son revealed another source of an
noyance. She doesn't like the world
to call her "Willy'! and appeared
anxious to transmit a reminder that
Wallla is the name. She would not
say whether It was true that she
called Edward ' Boysy," but Rogers
said he never had heard her address
him publicly other than as "Sir."
When I arrived at Cande Castle 1
found Mrs, Simpson wearing a new
Paris creation. The report bad been
published this wek that she was
slimmer, but I found her slightly
plumper than when ahe arrived
from Cannes. She is naturally sum.
but In her new Paris gown she did
not look thin. She seemed In splen

EUGENE, May 1. (AP) Loyal
Democrats from the first congres
sional district who have protested
alleged , discrimination In distribu
tion of federal posts among other
districts, met in Eugene today in a
session that held promise of a first
class party fight In the state.
Apparently heading the Insurrec
tion of up-state Democrats was U.
S. Burt, Corvallis.
Specifically, the charge leveled by
the first district bourbons Is that
out of the four most Important
posts, all have gone either to Port
land or eastern Oregon Democrats,
leaving 17 conutles west of the
Cascades with little in the way of
consolation.
"What makes It even worse Is the
fact that the one officer to be re
placed In the near future the Unit
ed States customs collector will be
followed by nnoMier Portland man,"
Burt declared. Ho held that the Job
should go to a Democrat In the first
congressional district.
Accordingly the delegates today
formed a district association "the
first district association of demo
cratic officers."
The official purpose of the group
Is two-fold: the strengthening of the
Intercuts of tho democratic party In

miles pear year.
Dr. 6ears recommended restoration

long range planning could determine
the most suitable ultimate use for
the land."
Noting that dust storms are aaln
raging in the ftouthwest, Dr. Seari

bowl authority" and government rec
lamation of the land under Its re
forestation and conservation program
Is the best immediate action to be
taken.
One out of every four houses In
the southern segment of the dust
bowl hai been abandoned and many
houses built In the old days by home
steade'. have disappeared entirety.
Dr. Sear stated.
Dr. Sears declared that be believes
the dust bowl problem belongs to the
