(By Leased Wire to The Age-Heraid.) PARIS, Dec. 5.-The first attempt of the conservative British government to come to an agreement with Premier Edouard ;. Herriot's socialist regime in France has succeed ed. Following lengthy con- versations between Herriot and Austen Chamberlain, con- servative British foreign sec retary at the Quai D'Orsay, it is officially announced that the two ta t e m n had reached an accord relative to foreign problems demand ing immediate solution" A tentative agreement on the subjects due for discussion by the League of Nations council meeting at Rome also was achieved.
 It may be assumed that Chamberlain and Herriot agreed upon a plan of ac- tion to employ if the steady withdrawal of Spanish troops from the Spanish sector in Morocco becomes pellmell route, as it seems most likely to do. That would mean that, if Spain proved unequal to the task of subduing the war-like Riff, French or British pres sure, or both, would be exerted in North west Africa to prevent the defection in the Riff from spreading eastward to the Mohammedans of French Morocco and Egypt.
 Discuss Debts
 Herriott admitted that he and Cham berlain discussed interallied debts, but whether France agreed to pay the United States until she is able to pay England was not stated.
 The Herriot-C Chamberlain converse tions mean that, to a great extent, Anglo French cooperation in the league will be continued. It first took form when both England and France were sending socialist representatives to league meetings-before the fall of Macdonald in Britain.
 "As a result of the conversation with Chamberlain, Herriot told the press fol- lowing the Britisher's departure for Rome, "is is generally understood that France and England will pursue com mon foreign policy, renOuncing any ef- forts to> extend the influence of one at the expense of the other. "We took up all the points scheduled for discussion by the council meeting at Rome. Regarding the league protocol for arbitration, disarmament and se- curity, Chamberlain confirmed our in- formation that the British government had asked for postponement ot the application of the protocol for two req sons: "First-Bef0re the protocol becomes effective, Great Britain wants to com plete an important understanding with France.
 "Second-It is necessary for Great Britain to consult the dominions before pledging herself and her fleet to the protocol.
 To Inform France Chamberlain promised to inform France of the results of his consulta- tions with the Dominions. Whatever may be the outcome, the British pro- posals relative to the protocol will be inspired by sentiment favorable to French security"
 Hereafter both countries will be rep resented by ambassadors at Constantin- ople with a temporary residence at Angora, the inland capital of the Turkish republic. Herriot and Cham berlain likewise agreed to oppose bol- shevist propaganda with every resource available. Chamberlain thus obtained assurance that French recognition of the soviet union would not erect an- other frontier, this time at the English channel, to be guarded against subver- sive documents and agitators.
