BERLIN, August 22.-Her-
riots speech helped to put the
Dawes Plan over in the French
chamber of deputies but II may
be the cause of its demise In
the German reichstag.
That the United States Is
obligated, owing to it's COM
mitments at the London con-
ference, to use armed force on
Germany to- compel the latter
to pay the 1925, 100000 yearly
indemnity under the Dawes
Plan, was the remarkable state
ment made by the Frenc.. pre-
mier, in seeking endorsement
of the London agreement.
The French chamber of deputies
supported Herriot, despite the vigor-
Gus opposition of the Communists.
The socialists true to their role Of be-
trayers, supported the errand boy of
the international bankers.
Chancellor Threatens.
The decisive battle in the Reich
stag opened today over ratification Of
the Dawes reparation plan agreement.
The government threatens the coun-
try with dissolution and a plebiscite
unless the necessary two-thirds ma
jority is given to the agreement.
On the opening of the Reichstag the
Communists took the lead in fighting
the scheme to reduce the German
workers to industrial peonage. So
great was the turmoil that the sitting
was adjourned until o'clock.
Ruhr Surrender.
The nationalists have decided una
nimously to reject the London agree
ment on the Dawes plan.
The surrender of the government
on the evacuation of the Ruhr render
ed possibility of a Reichstag victory
doubtful. On this issue the national
lists claim that the German delegates
broke their promises before they left
Berlin for London. The German dele
gates, however, were not the first to
change their minds after imbibing the
atmosphere of Buckingham Palace.
Wise heads point out what happened
to the great American prophet of de-
mocracy, Woodrow Wilson, once he
passed inside its portals.
Without the endorsement OF the
German Reichstag, the Dawes plan is
like something all dressed up and no
place to go. Until the German work
ers begin to dig for it, it is as useless
as brand new fur coat in the torrid
zone.
French Communists Attack Plan.
Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
PARIS, Aug. 22.- Marcel Cachin,
leader of the French Communist frac-
ton in the chamber Of deputies, de-
livered a bitter attack on the Dawes
plan and on American imperialism at
this mornings session. He said that
Dawes represents American i'm
perialism in most direct personal
and concrete fashion"
"The new American policy is not
very disinterested," M. Cachin contin-
ued. ut has strictly an economic
basis The Americans hope to find an
enfeebled European market where
they can impose their conditions.
They must have healthy markets TO
which they can export, hence the
Dawes plan. They have no sympathy
for Europe or for the working class
of this or any other country including
their own"
Hits Hostility Of Hughes.
Comrade Cachin declared that the
speech delivered by Charles Evans
Hughes at the Pilgrim Club was hos
tile to Soviet Russia.
American statesmen are hostile to
Red Russia" continued Cachin, both
from a class spirit and because they
do not wish to see Russian wheat
flooding the worlds market"
He also exposed the hypocrisy OF
American claims to pacifsm and
pointed to the great United States
navy as proof that America Is CON-
mitted to dreams Of world domino
ton.
Polncare Does Not Attack.
Owen d. Young, Wall Street bank
err, and James A. Logan, Jr., Ameri-
can observer with the reparations
commission are all set to start the
Dawes plan working.
Herriot's victory in the chamber OF
deputies was not won by as wide a
margin as his friends expected. AS
was predicted, Poincare did not at
tack him, which probably saved him
from defest.
