SIR ERIC DRUMMOND'S

· PROPOSAL

Geneva, May 7. Sir Eric Drummond has prepared

memorandum drawing an anology between the limitation and control of oplum production and the limitation and control of the manufacture of armaments,

In it he suggests that the Opium Convention of 1931 is easily adaptable to the manu- facture of armaments, apart from political considerations. .Renter

WASHINGTON, May 7.

IT IS UNDERSTOOD THE INFORMATION COMING FROM A USUALLY WELL-INFORMED SOURCE, THAT PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WILL NOT TRANSMIT ANY WAR DEBT MESSAGE TO CONGRESS IN THE NEAR FUTURE, says the Wa- shington correspondent of the New York Times.

If Mr. Roosevelt finally decided to send a Message, it will be after the completion of the Administration's pending domestic programme, the report adds.

Most of the President's close advisers believe that he will seek special powers for dealing with the debt question before the adjournment of the special session of Congress, but he thinks that it is necessary, in the meantime, to educate the public to the necessity for making concessions.

Washington, May 8. "The United States was

Roosevelt last night in the

course of a broadcast address

to the Nation, reviewing his

policy.

The President outlined the poši- | tive measures to meet the situation which have already been taken or which are now awaiting the ap- proval of Congress, and suld he had reason to believe that things were a little better than they were two months ago.

Industry had picked up, the rail- ways were carrying more freight

and farm prices were better.
