They acted in closed conference tnly a few hours after it was learn- td that President Herbert Hoover felt tariff increases miglit be the rnly recourse if currency stabiliz-

The President's attitude on the ltlvreciated currency problem‘ was Marded in some Republican quar- ters on Capitol Hill as a strong hint that the United States Clov- Irnment would like to see a re- turn to the gold standard by the Mndpal mercial and financial nations of Europe and that the pre- lmt adminlstraflon, at least would film such a trend of discussion at the forthcoming world economic conference.
