PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S VIEWS. (Reuter's American Servidę:):
WASHINGTON, August 18. President Calvin Coolidge, in a statement to the Press, says he believes the London Conference Agreement is the most important result accompli slied since the armistice, with the possible exception of the Washington Conference.
...It demonstrates, he says, the wisdom of the American position and effectiveness of American methods of co-operation.
He adds that with the Governments of Europe taking this wise, course there should be little difficulty in securing the necessary Anancial sup port from private sources in America. It looks as though the end of the war had come at last and that the beginning of an honourable and lasting peace is at hand.

CHEERS FOR M. HERRIOT. (Reuter's Service.)
PARIS, August 18. M. Herriot and the members of the French delegation were greeted with wild cheering from the assembled crowds on their arrival at the station this evening...
SHOALS OF PROTEST.
LONDON, August 18. The remark of Herr Stresemann at Saturday's Conference that he was hourly receiving shoals of protests against signing the proposed agreement, and Herriot's reply that he also was buried under a similar avalanche, illustrate the circumspection, with which the two principals bargained. In the final stages the Germans pressed hard for con- cessions, for example,Government guarantee of -the-loan-and-the early evacuation of Ruhrort. The first point was met by the Allies agreeing to facilitate the success of a loan by every means short of actual guarantee, and the last obsizole was removed when the French and Belgians, although reluctant to abandon the pivotalism/ uldmately conceded the evacuation of Ruhrort and other minor sanctions towns before September 1. M. Herriot discreetly hinted at the possibility of a favourable review of the whole evacuation issue in the light of German behaviour in two months.

Finally there arose the question of dye-stuffs, whereon the French; Belgians and Germans agreed, whereas Mr. MacDonald withheld assent until he had consulted experts, after which it was agreed that commercial treaties should be negotiated by all Powers simultaneously on a basis of equality.
