LONDON, June 16—The four- power wheat conference adjourned tonight until Monday with the major exporting countries of the world still deadlocked in two groups over the question of crop curtail- merit.

Prime Minister R. B. Bennett of Canada told the conference the three great wheat-growing Prairie Provinces of the Dominion were ready to co-operate in a move to limit production. This announce- ment definitely placed Canada. in line with the plop of the United States for acreage limitation.

Pressing for adoption of the rc- striction plan, Henry Morgenthau, Sn, American delegate, called at- tention to the result on the world market if the United States re- leased her surplus stocks of wheat.

Dr. Thomas A. Le Breton, Argen-

turbed at the American implication that unless on international agree- ment for control of production be rcifohed the United States surplus might be turned loose to flood the market. ‘r

Dr. Le Breton called attention of the Canadian and American dele- gates to the policy of the Argentine Senate, which has expressed oppo- sition to curtailment of production saying it might tie hi: hands and prevent his agreeing to any such plan.

Stanley Bruce. Australian High Commissioner at London who is representing the Commonwealth, said ho was very doubtful if his country would find participation in a. curtailment plan advantageous. He insisted as a condition at least that the Unuod States agree to limit her exports.

Menaced by pistols in the hands

King was in command of a pat- r01 boat cruising 1n Bay of Islands when he approached the craft, which he recognized as a. liquor vessel. As his ship drew up along- side he was surprised to receive a friendly hall and an invitation to come aboard. '

He boarded the schooner and the skipper immediately welcomed him as a ship-to-shore runner and ask- ed him to come into the cabin tn "talk businus." King played up to the role and followed him down the companionway,

After the officer had answered qusstnoas regarding other ships ex-

Germany Asks For Return Of

Possessions

LONDON, June ld-(AI-tl-For the first time since she was stripped of all her overseas possessions after the war, Germany officially asked the world today for an African Em- pire or other new territories.

The appeal was laid before the Economic Conference of the World Economic Conference by Dr. Alfred Hugenberg, who holds the two min- istries of Economics and Agriculture in. the Hitler Cabinet.

He said there were two possible ways to increase Germany's capa- city to meet her international debts -by giving her an African Empire where large public works could be carried out or by opening other ter- rltories to "this people which has not had. enough space in which to live."

Dr. Hugenberg presented the Ger- man views in a. lo-page memoran- dum, largely a plea for debt allevia- tion. It was submitted as negotia- tion proceeded over the German moratorium halting virtually all Germany's foreign debt payments.

(President Roosevelt said in Washington today that he had heard nothing from the London conference in the way of a sug- gestion for currency stabilization mid he asserted that the confer- ence neither would nor could do anything about stabilization unless the action is approved by the Pres- ident, fhc acting Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury).

It ivas explained in well informed quarters that the level of $4.05 at which it was rumored in financial and conference circles that stabil- ization. was likcly to start had been used merely hypothetically by ex- perts for the purrwise of discussion, but that no agreement had yet been reached as to the level.

Earlier today Georges Bonnet, French Finance Minister, indicated he had considered the American delegation had agreed to dollar stabilization when he acceded to the election of James M. Cox as chairman of the Monetary Com- mission. .

The pound closed here today at 84.05%, up one-half cent over yes- terday's final quotation.
