War Won't Disrupt U.S.A.

WASHINGTON--President Roosevelt was assured tonight by his financial advisers that the nation's economic structure could withstand any shock arising from outbreak of a European war.

After six days and nights of meetings, high Administration officials have drafted a general plan designed to keep the stock, foreign exchange and commodity markets operating in as orderly a manner as possible should hostilities begin.

The plan is devised so as to "cushion" the effect of war on the markets and prevent a financial panic such as wiped out the savings of thousands of Americans when the World War broke out in 1914.
