WORLD CONFERENCE
- TOO UNWIELDY
___
LjONDON. July 17, f;- -Lead
ers of the World Economic Con
ferem e decided that » too many
cooks spoil the broth, and decid
ed after the recess of July 27th
not to reconvene in its entirety.
The belief that the parley should
[not be revived after the recess was
voiced at the morning’s meeting of
the steering committee, and there
is a growing feeling in which some
Americans concur that the confer
ence as now constituted is so un
■wiedly tha1 it blocks its own pro
gress. When it is being held
again in-s^Vashington, London, Gen
eva or elsewhere, it will not take
!a census expert to keep track of
,/ - ■*>
things.
