 Paris. July as,-rhs French rarlia
 ment today received in absolute si-
 lenes and with marked frigidity Pre-
 mier Herriot's report on the progress
 of the inter-allied conference in Lon
 don in which the head of the gov
 ernment described the failure of the
 conference to come to an agreement
 with the British and American bank
 CTS on the question of security for the
 Dawes plan loan 10 Germany.
 Excepting for favorable comments
 by about 12 CT Is socialist deputies,
 the chamber maintained absolute si-
 lenee while Rene Renoult, minister of
 justice and acting premier read the
 telegram from the premier which de-
 scribed briefly the work of the vari-
 ous committees of the London con-
 ference.
 The socialists applsuded few pas
 ssses but an immense majority of the
 deputies listened in evident apathy.
 Even the moderate left. NJ. Herriot's
 main support in the majority refused
 10 become enthusiastic while the at-
 titude of the opposition was one of
 cold aloofness.
 After the document had been read, the chamber passed without comment 10 the order of the day. A
 Explains Failures
 The failure of the delegates to the interallied conference and the 'repre- sentative of the eventual lenders" of the loan to Germany provided by the Dawes plan to reach an agreement on defaults and subsequent sanctions has prevented the conference from ac- oepting the reports of its committees, Premier Herriot told the French parliament today in telegram de- scribng the work of the conference
 The government" the prener's message said had hoped to appear before parliament today to bring be- fore 1t the complete text of an agree inent on the completion of which it | has been working during the last two | weeks but, despite constant efforts, | the negotiations have not yet been concluded.
 Various articles of the Paris ac- cords taken as the bases of dtscus- sion by the conference. have been re- ferred to committees which are sit- ting permanently. The first commit tee, entrusted with the task of inves- tigating defaults and subsequent pen alties, unanimously reached conciu- sions which the representatives, of the eventual lenders have deemed insuffi- cient to insure the success of the loan of 800, o,n00,0oo gold marks provided for in the Dawes report. Conse- quently, the conclusions of the com- mittee have not yet been accepted by the conference.
 Are Guarding Treaty.
 "The French delegation, while seeking to afford the lenders all , legitimate security, is taking care ttat , there shall be no impairment of the , Versailles treaty and no infringe { ments upon French rights in the ( event that the rights of France are ' not safeguarded by collective action. ,
 "'rhe second committee, charged q with studying the conditions under . which the economic and fiscal unity a of Germany can be established, | had the outlines of it's conclusions D unanimously approved by the ple- | nary session of the conference yes- q .erday. Reservations were made con- ,erniDg the maintenance of French d md Belgian ralwaymcn on the left a oank of the Rhine. c "The third committee is continu- fl ng it's work on deliveries in kind and F. transfers. The plenary session yes- e, erday authorized this committee to a 'tUdy it's program regardless of the 2 limitations of the mandate which {. heretofore l had imposed upon 1t. h the admittance of Ger mans to the conference, an agreement asily was reached upon the rroposi- ion of committee composed of one french and one British jurist."
 This committee has determined the n uestions which must be settled be- ween the reparation commission and iermany. the allied governments and he German government, or between he allied governments themselves. In with its propositions, the eparation commission has been re- Ct uested to proceed to London. The cl eads of the governments will con tb oke the German delegation when an ur greement upon the essential uues- ro ons has been reached between the to lies. ,o Negotiations which involve nunler- US technical difficulties will require 'reral days more of consideration. cr he government is pursuing these of agotiations with firm will to ensure
 the same time the safeguarding of e rights of France and the re-estab- sn shnient of an entente between the lies and peace. The government is H, .sirous of submitting to parliament R, e result of these negotiations as on as settlement is reached so for at It may deliberate on that settle ot ent at any date which parliament
