HERR|OT To FACE
HOSTILE DEPUTIES
WITH DAWES PLAN

PARIS, Aug 19.-(By the Asso-
today unanimously approved the
work of the French delegation at
the international conference in Lon
don. and thanked it for the important
results it had attained in the inter
ests of France.
The cabinet met this morning,
and, after having listened atten-
lively to a report by Premier Her
riot on the proceedings and results
of the conference, gave its I'M
qualified approval of the accord
which had been concluded at the
meeting at the British capital.
1t was decided that the premier
should read his declaration before
the senate and chamber Thursday,
giving a complete report of the work
of the London conference to both
bodies of the French legislature.
Faces Parliament
With the approval of the cabinet
FOR his part in the London negotla-
tons, M. Herriot is faced with a
strenuous two or perhaps three
weeks in parliament where already
eight important interpretations are
scheduled in the chamber of depu-
ties
In the upper house former Pre-
mier Poincare is to take the floor
again in the government. Neither
house, however, is expected to go to
the extent of voting disapproval OF
the premier's course. When the de-
bate concludes, parliament probably
will adjourn until october.
Meantime the ministers will at
tack an important problem of III
lernal policy, meeting this evening
to consider measures connected with
the high cost of" living, notably in
regard to the price of bread.
The cordial reception accorded M.
Herriot by his colleagues of the cabi-
net echoed the enthusiasm Of the
throngs of men and women who
came to greet aim when he arrived
from London Monday evening.
Tribute Paid Herriot
The popular demonstration in and
about the St. LaZare station when
the premier arrived was an unmlS-
taxable expression of popular re
ioicing over the accord concluded IN
London, but it was also, in the op1n-
ion of observers, personal tribute
to M. Herriot from those Frenchmen
who believe the London agreement
was a paving of the way for return
to real peace footing.
. The approval given by the cabi
net this morning to the work of the
French delegation in London is said
By competent observers to augur
well for the survival of NJ Herriot's
report through the two or three
weeks Of preliminary bufteting
will have to undergo.
Eight important interpretations
are scheduled and eight prominent
orators are IN the list for speeches
ard it is understood that M Herriot
does not desire to suit short the dis
ssions.
Premier Herriot told interViewers
today he was resolved to waste no
time in going ahead with the task
of obtaining the approval of both
houses of the legislature. He wilt
take no vacation when parliament
finally adjourns, but will work hard
er than ever while the representa-
tives of the country in the senate
and chamber are taking their annual
vacations in the country.
"The conference is the first act
of peace" he said. There remain
others to be accomplished, but | sin
cerely believe they will prove less
difficult. | count on the debate be
fore the chamber to be over by Fri
day, and that before the senate be
fore Saturday.
Hope for Turk Treaty
The premier hopes that even the
Lausanne treaty may be taken up
and ratified before the decree clos
ing the session Of the legislature
is read.
AS soon as the adjournment is
taken, NJ Herriot will attack the
problem of the high cost of living.
His attitude on this subject IS iadi-
Gated by his remark today.
I'VE simply have to find a way
of bringing down prices
Consideration of this internal PROB
lem, however. will not distract HIM
from his work on the programs OF
foreign policy, which will arise Wed
nesday or Thursday, he asserts.
The first of these problems will be
that of arity to France, which
he will raise at the assembly of the
League of Nations. at Geneva, and
the preparation Of which will require
much of his time.
Then will come the economic prob
lem, that of the interallied debts, and,
finally. that CT French relations with
Russia into which he intends to go
fully, studying particularly what
England has done and consulting
French merchants and manufac-
turers who are now dealing with
Russia.
In the aggregate, all of these con
siderations form n formidable pro
gram of work for the premier while
the other politicians are at rest or
play.
