LONDON CONFERENCE.
BER. MACDONALD'S LETTER.
SPEECH BY MR. DAWES,
(Reuter's Service:)-
PARIS, August 19. While the publication of Mr. Ramsay MacDonald's, letter has completely surprised political circles, it is authoritatively learned that M. Herrior previously consented thereto.
French official quarters tend to minimise the importance of the letter on the ground that it merely reiterates the British Government's well- known stand-point.
The French official attitude is inspired with the desire to avoid compromising the present
excellent Anglo-French relations.

The United States would be saved from the depths of an inevitable great depression in industry and agriculture, which continued chaos and misery in Furope would entail. The whole world had entered upon a period of peace and pros-, perity.
