The Italian delegates were absent during the On Strange
formation of the Committee, because the Ethiopian re- presentatives were present in the Council.
The Council named the representatives of Britain, France, Spain, Poland and Turkey as members of the Committee, and then adjourned. The Committee named Senor Salvador de Madariaga, of Spain, chair-| man, and went into recess until the morning. The Council also meets to-morrow. The Committee will function without reference to the League. However, if it falls to find a solu-

STIMULATES U.S. RECOVERY
REASSURING WORDS FROM ROOSEVELT
PROGRAMME OF REFORM COMPLETED?
New York, Sept. 6.
President Roosevelt's statement that his basic programme of reform and recovery has reached "sub- stantial completion" and that the breathing spell want- ed by business is now here, is considered most signi- ficant in Wall Street circles where the opinion is freely, expressed that the President's statement will be a great relief to business.
Some, however, believe that business needs more than a breathing spell. They feel that the budget. should be balanced and that taxation should be reduced. Living cost, too, must be kept down before genuine re- covery is possible.
On the other hand, few officials in Washington be- lieve that President Roosevelt is prepared to surrender. the extraordinary emergency powers vested in him by Congress, at least in the near future.
