 PARIS, Aug. 24.-Having triumphet in the Chamber of Deputies by winnin approval for the Dawes settlement an, receiving a vote of confidence on hi negotiations in London, Premier Her riot is expected to repeat his victory il the Senate Tuesday.
 At 4 80 o'clock Sunday morning after a spirited, nerve-racking debatt that had endured throughout the da! and night, the Chamber voted it's SID port of the London protocols for eff fcctuating the Dawes separations set tlement. It gave Herriot vote of con fidence by 336 to 204. Frances dynamic socialist premier had won his first criti cal battle since assuming office. He not only had scored a personal victory, but had travelled long distance in as surfing the success of a new opportunity to bring peace back to Europe.
 To Win Again
 It is generally predicted that Herriot will win again in the Senate and obtain final ratification for the Dawes protO- co.'s. A sh..p clash is expected in the upper chamber, especially if exPremier Poincare intervenes, but it is practi- cally certain that Herriot will receive vote of confidence.
 The Chambers action may take an important place in European history. It means approval of a new policy for France-a policy which includes evacu- ation of the Ruhr and the pursuit of peace based on the principle of confi- dence and the acceptance of economic facts contained in the Dawes plan. It means also that the entente will be rer stored and that Germany will be given a chance to recover economically and pay her debts.
 The opposition to Herriot centered around the charge that he had made concessions in London which weakened Frances security. In this connection, it is pointed out now that the text of the order of the day under which the Chambers vote was taken urged Her riot not to forget that the new repara- tions policy might have bad results un- less there were guarantees for French security.
 To Push Plan
 It is assumed, therefore, that when Herriot goes to the League of Nations meeting in Geneva next month, he will do his utmost to make everyone agree to the French plan for obtaining Euro peah security. This would seek to pre- vent the secret resumption of war man ufactures by Germany, especially in the Ruhr, after the French evacuation.
 Even the semi-official Soir admits that "the storms are clearing, but it would be disastrous to believe that all danger has passed" The Liberte claims that the 30-hour debate revealed that the London. accords constituted a de feat for France and marked the begin ming of German revenge.
 Herriot emerged from the Chamber at dawn, worn and haggard, but earlier in the night, in the full vigor of his personality, he had aroused the deputies from their lassitude in a remarkable speech, which drove hom the true facts of the Dawes settlement. He appealed to French patriotism, but he appealed also to the interests of mankind.
 ''The Ruhr is no security" he shouted, land never could be. Europe B equilibrium must be re-established."
 Eloquence Brings Cheers
 His eloQuence drew cheers from all parts of the house, caught the imagina- tion of his hearers and inspired the re- sponse that France was keeping the faith" The scene was vivid contrast to the nationalistic Chamber that had supported Poincare when France went into the Ruhr.
 "Now, like in 1914" declared Louis Loucheur, former minister of recon struction, i've are increasing our moral force in the eyes of the world. Not wishing to he A demoralizer, but a builder, T support Herriot."
 Others caught the same spirit and Herriot emerged triumphant, winning victory for himself and the Dawes agree ment.
