CURRENCIES TO BE STABILIZED Secretary Hull Urges Stabilization As First Prosperity Move London. June ft. (U.R)-- Stabilization of currencies is the first logical point of attack against the world depression. Secretary of State Cordell Hull, head of the American delegation to the world economics conference, declared today in his first interview with the British press. Reduction of tariff barriers is an essential complementary necessity, he said, and to be effective the two would have to be carried out simultaneously. Depreciation of currencies and increasing tariffs inspired each other, forming a vicious circle, he said. The American delegation approached the conference with verydefinite ideas of what had to be done to end the depression, but was open minded toward all ideas, he said. After the interview Hull attended a private luncheon where he met Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald. He hoped to confer 1. ter with the premier and with statesmen of other conference de'egations. The British journalists made repeated efforts to obtain some hint of the American attitude toward reduction of war debts, but Hull insisted the subject was outside the scope of the economic conference. Much interest was displayed in reports that while his boat was in Queenstown. Ireland. Hull referred to the Irish Free state as the "Irish republic." Hull said that such reports represented an effort to divert attention from the economic conference.

The camps are expected to con- j tain more than 4,000 men. Much of the work will be in state' forests but several camps will be established for soil erosion work on private lands. Wilcox has plans for 24 soil eros-; ion camps alone. They await federal approval. The erosion is prevented by construction of check dams in gullies and planting of trees. Ten tons of black locust seed have been bought by the state for use in the soil erosion program. “The -stopping of soil erosion will prevent the loss of valuable 1 soil and assist in eliminating forestation damage." Wilcox said. "Idle lands will be placed in preiituble i production by reforestation. “It is obvious that each camp o.i ■ 200 men will create a good market each njonth for several thousand dollars worth of local farm produc1 tion, supp’ies, materials and equip ‘ ment." ’ Company 60 of the civilian con--1 servatiom corps, comprised of 206 ■ men, will begin work within two ’ weeks in a Huntington county soil erosion camp to he located east of ' Huntington.

LEADERS SPEED ACTION TOWARD FINAL PASSAGE Veterans Economy Program Is Approved; Industrial Bill Speeded HOME MORTGAGE REPORT FAVORED Washington, June 9.—<UP> The Democratic steering committee todav unanimously adopted President Roosevelt’s compromise veteran’s economy program and will recommend its acceptance, by the house. The action was considered as definitely ending the veteran’s dispute which has raged between congress and the White House. In the meantime leaders drove with speed on the industrial recovery bill todav hoping congress might adjourn tomorrow night. The senate's one big fight over the industrial control bill centered around tax provisions. Senator Pat Harrison. Democrat of Mississippi. who is steering the industrial bill, said that if that measure goes through today, adjournment tomorrow will he possible. In the house, leaders within less than 30 minutes today, rushed through to approval, the conference reports on the railroad control bill and the home mortgage measure. In a gruelling 13-hour session yesterday the senate beat down efforts to weaken the president’s power to fix prices and wages, and shorten working hours to spread employment in industry. Senators returned to their aircooled chamber today to tackle the sections authorizing a $3,300,000.000 (B) public works program and levying $220,000,000 in new taxes to finance the necessary bond issues. Democratic leaders considered passage of the entire bill late today or tonight virtually assured. The house passed the measure some weeks ago, nut after senate , approval it must go to conference for adjustment of changes made by the senate. The national recovery bill is by far the most important measure which must be enacted before congress ends its emergency session.
