By LESLIE EICHEL Central Press Staff Writer New York, ivlay 18.—Nations of tlie world evidently are putting out “feed ers” for a comprehensive world eco nomic conference. Visitors from one nation to another—visitors who are looked upon as disinterested in po litics—are urging an economic con ference at? soon as possible.
