HIS VISIT TO PARIS.

Imbach (Switzerland) won his heat in the second round of the 400 metres in 48 seconds. The time is a world's record.

In the final of the 5,000 metres, Nurmi came in first 14 min. 3115 sec., which is an Olympic record. Ritola (Finland), was second and Wide (Sweden) third.

The final of the hammer throwing competition resulted as follows: (1) Tootell (U.S.A.) with a throw of 53.275 metres: (2) Mc Grath (U.S.A.); (3) Nokes (Britain). At his third attempt Nokes threw 48.74 metres.

In reply to the Rt. Hon Mr. Stanley Baldwin Mr. MacDonald said that he went to Paris to try to remove the unfortunate situation which had arisen there and which threatened to destroy the work done to arrange an intersallied conference." The British Government was of opinion that every effort should be made to put the experts' In the pole-jump final, the Americans took the report into operation without delay, French first three places.

Investors would not he forthcoming, he said. so long as the political and economic security, which the German State as a going concern offered Investors, could be destroyed by action similar to that which had occurred last year,

AMERICAN AID NECESSARY.

The Government, therefore, had agreed;| firstly to try to add the Reparations Commission, when it was dealing with defalcation under the experts' report, an American menber who would care for the interests of investors; or, failing that," to use the services of an American Reparation Agent-General.

The British Government suggested this gentle man should arbitrate in the event of failure to get a unanimous decision from the Commission,

The French Government wished time to con- sider this and to leave the final decision to the London Conference. The British Government finially agreed to this; and, meanwhile would con. sult financial opinion. Unless this matter was -settled-to-the-satisfaction of investors no loan

would be forthcoming.

The French Government further desired to associate the question of inter-allied debts with the experts' report, but the British Government was unable to agree to this.

M HERRIOT WARNED.

Mr. MacDonald said that he had warned M. Herriot at the Cherpers that the British Govern. ment could not allow this matter to drag out indefinitely; and he proposed to ask the Treasury to take up the matter where it had been left by Lord Curzon's Note of August 11, 1973.

He further suggested that a French Treasury Official should come to London as a preliminary in order to discuss the question with the British Officials. It was agreed that this should be done and in negotiating a settlement, account would be taken of all considerations. Further, the French Govern- ment desires to keep the question of national security alive. The British Government made it definitely clear that no further proposal in the nature of a military pact could be entertained; but it repeated its desire to continue the conversations. on the subject, especially with regard to arrange. ments being made through the League of Nations, disarmament conferences and other acceptable

means.

A COMPLETE SUCCESS.

LONDON, July 9. Mr. MacDonald has returned and declared that the conference at Paris was a complete success. It cleared up ali misunderstanding.

A report from Paris is that M. Herriot said it had been the best day for the Entente Cordiale sluce the Armistice. It was the beginning of a new era

for Europe.

Mr. Ramsay MacDonald and M. Herriot. Fears are expressed that the London Conference will virtually fail in its objects.

The newspapers are particularly dissatisfied" that the Reparations Commission will be the final arbiter of the manner in which the experts' report will be carried out. There is also uncertainty whether the German Delegates are invited to London in a consultative capacity, or whether they will simply be confronted with the protocol to sign This is a point upon which official circles are urgently seeking enlightenment.
