In the House of Commons, Mr., Ramsay MarDonald onounced his intention to visit Paris to-morrow on the proposal of M. Herriot, and to return on Wednes- day. He declared there was absolutely no foundation whatever for the storm which had arisen regarding the invita tions, to the Conference of July 18th. He pointed out that the commntinications made to Belgium, Italy, Japan and the United States were merely a repetition of the British suggestions concerning the task of the forthcoming conference, which had already heen submitted fully and discuss ed by the Beligan Minister and M. Her- riot at Chequers." These suggestions "were simultaneously embodied, for pur 1poses of record, in a semi-fficial com- munication from the permanent head of the Foreign Ollier to the permanent head of the French Foreign Office. No com munication on the matter had been made eather by or on behalf of the British (iov. -ernment to the German Gevrement.
