PRES. ROOSEVELT HAS BUSY WEEK END

GRAPPLING WITH ECONOMIC PROBLEMS

[REUTER'S AMERIDAN, SERVICE]

WASHINGTON, May 2 PRES. ROOSEVELT had a most busy week-end grappling with Freonomic problems.

Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Sprague, economic adviser to the Bank of England, informally discussed cur- rency and exchange on Saturday afternoon.

According to the New York Herald Tribune, one of the main considerations being the creation of a joint stabilisation fund contingent on the currency truce.

i

Now Pres. Roosevelt has notified the leaders of both Houses that he is eending Congress a resolution authorising him to re-adjust the tariff rates by either a general or reciprocal raduction.

Meantime, the president is con cerned over the United States de- legation to the World Economic Conference. The Republicans, Senator La Follette, Senator Mc- Reynolds, Chairman of the repre- sentatives of Foreign Affairs Com- mittee, and Mr. Owen Young are likely choices.
