WORLD LEADERS.

REASSEMBLY OF CONFERENCE? LONDON, Sept. 18. The Daily Herald says the Prime Minister, Mr Ramsay MacDonald, is hopeful of the reassembling of at least a portion of the World Economic Conference in London in November. Permanent officials to the Conference are now conferring with Mr MacDonald, who is hopeful that President Roosevelt’s internal monetary policy will then be developed sufficiently to allow international issues to be discussed. Opposition to the renewal of the conference is likely to come from Europe, as the French Cabinet and Signor Mussolini are trying to arrange rei gional agreements and are reluctant to raise again the problem of the relation of gold to non-gold countries. CONFERENCE CONDUCTED. GATHERING THE LOOSE ENDS. Received September 19. 9.40 a.m. LONDON, Sept. 18. After talking over disarmament matters with Mr Norman Davis, Mr Ramsay MacDonald was closeted for half an hour with Sir Walter Layton and Sir Arthur Salter. It is supposed that they were gathering the loose ends of the Economic Conference for a discussion of which the League of Nations experts, Mr Loveday and Signor Stoppani, have come specially from Geneva. Official quarters discourage the idea of a full-bodied resumption of the Conference.
