NEW YORK, Jane 23. In the House of Commons, replying to Mr.

The city was decorated for miles with, flags Stanley Baldwin, Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald the Premier, said that the and bunting, and Fifth Avenue at night purpose of this interview with M. Herriot, the glowing under myriads of yellow, white and blue French Premier, was to discuss the technical lights, the official colours of the city, in honour of arrangements necessary in order to put the experts the opening of the Democratic Convention on June reports into operation and certain matters in which 24 which expected to prove one of the most exci Anglo French co-operation seemed desirable inting on record, owing to the large number of potential candidates and the differences of crder to promote the security and peace of Europe. opinion with regard to questions of prohibition, That must not be taken to mehn that they Ku Klux Klan, the world court of justices, and the intended to make any exclusive arrangements between any two: Powers. The discussion would League of Nations. be reported to the Premiers of Belgium and Italy to whom M. Herriot and M. MacDonald were anxious no decision should be presented as, if

already taken.

The talk was a preliminary to an inter-Allied conference in London, probably on July 15 and the communiqué issued covered, the ground of the conversation.

AMERICA'S HELP ESSENTIAL. Replying to Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. MacDonald said it was very desirable America should be represented at the conference on July 16. (Cheers.) A communication to that effect would be made to America immediately.

The representation of Germany was discussed but obviously inter-Allied agreement was the first essential,

With regard to what they were prepared to do to give effect to the report, it was felt the report im- posed certain obligations on Germany somewhat outside the obligations of the Treaty of Versailles. The question remaining for consultation with Belgium and Italy was how best they could make Germany a willing partner in sharing these obliga- tions.

CONSULTING THE DOMINIONS.

Mr. MacDonald' said the business of the inter- Allied conference would be the Dawes report, As soon as all the machinery was actively working in order to put the report into operation, the conference would proceed to discuss, and he hoped arrange, other outstanding questions between France and Britain, including inter-Allied debts; but he emphasised that the debt question must not be mixed up with the putting of the report into operation,

Replying to Mr. Pringle, Mr. MacDonald said the question of the proportions in which the Allies shared the payments from Germany certainty would not be reopened.

Replying to Sir Ronald McNeill, Mr. Mac- Donald said the Government was communicating with the Dominions and he gave an assurance the Dominions would be completely consulted so they might feel they were partners with the Government in everything the Government did. (Opposition cheers.)

Mr. MacDonald emphasised that in settling the question of putting the Dawes report into operation the Government would take no responsibility that Britain or the Dominions would be mulcted in seeing it carried out.

L

Replying to Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. MacDonald said that Germany would be asked to come in and make good the final arrangements for putting the Dawes report into operation.

The anti-Ku, Klu Klan elements desire "a plank in the platform opposing the Klan by name. Others suggest the plank should merely de- nounce subversive organisations generally.

Division on the foreign relations plank hinges largely on whether or not the League of Nations should be specifically referred to, while as regards the liquor c some of the delegates urge a plank. sugge gan amendment of the Volstead Act so as pamit light wines and beers. Others want enforcement of the law with a proviso that if the statute is imperfect and out of harmony: with the constitution, Congress should alter it.

The Frenchmen Boretra and Feret, the South Africans Spence, Condon and Raymond also scored victories.

[La. Matin's special correspondent in London states that the guarantees asked by M. Herriot before the Rubir can be militarily evacuated include the possibility of sanding troops to the Rhine in the event of German defaults. This would involve over. the absolute control of certain strategic lines. Strong representations will be made to Berlin in regard to disarmament. The Conference of Ambassadors will demand the drawing up of a full" Inventory and inspection of German armaments by the Inter-Allied Commission. The Germans will be invited to the drafting of a protocol, which will be signed with them for the initiation of the experts' scheme. It is also agreed that France and Britain will each appoint two experts to examine into the question, of debts with a view of finding a settlement without awaiting the participation of the United States]TM
