PARIS, June 14.-"An inter allied
conference seems to me to be indis-
pensable. I believe the United States
is convinced of the necessity" This
announcement was made by Premier
Herriot to your correspondent, who
is able to give the first details of the
policy which the new government
intends to inaugurate Immediately
and which has only been outlined
heretofore.
Determined to reject all methods
likely to compel France to plough a
lonely furrow in international poll
tics, Herriot declared he takes Office
this evening with the set purpose of
re-establishing inter-allied unity.
Paris-BerIin Accord Sought.
His efforts for international soli-
darity will go further Il want to
lay the foundations of a policy of
franco-German cooperation" he
said. only by so doing and restor-
ing International unity can we avoid
favoring the development of revolu-
tionary forces in Germany.
We know as well as others the
dangers from German nationalism
and pan-Germanism, but We believe
II We pool guarantees and risks and
pursue common policy with the
allies the latter will aid us in pre-
venting any spirit of revenge from
leading Germany to renew the often
siye.
Isn't that better than allowing
France to bear the burden of an in
definite occupation of the Ruhr?
Dawes Report as Safeguard.
The Dawes report offers as the
means of returning to this policy of
cooperation, for it implies, in the
event of Germany failing to fulfill
the conditions laid down. all the
creditor governments shall act to-
Gether to compel her to respect en-
sagements.
so we must get busy right away
with the experts report and have
IL working without any more delay"
Herriot expressed the conviction
that the German debt must be in
ternationalized and at the same time a
solution must be found for inter-
allied economic problems"
1t was in this connection that he
announced his intention to call an
international conference, explaining
these various questions obviously
cannot be dealt with or settled by
notes alone"
Wants Germany In League.
The admission of Germany to the
league of nations is another project
figuring at the top of the new
premiers program and forming part
of what he calls his general peace
offensive"
Sressing his ambitions in this re-
spect, he opened his mind as follows:
THE international policy, of which
the league of nations is the center,
must shake off the character of
passivity and resignation and become
active, positive-it must. in fact, take
the offensive.
why shouldn't just and generous
ideas be pushed with as much ardor
and impetuosity as doctrines of vio-
lence?
Peace cannot be founded solely on
precautions. Peace cannot be made
against or without peoples. The
support of the masses is indispensa-
BILE but it is not obtainable by con-
straint
Make Partner of Berlin.
Germany, therefore, must be
given an interest in the solution of
The reparations problem. We must
associate her with US in our task.
And that brings US to question
and solves 1.-THE admission of the
German Reich to the league of ma
tions and the council. 1t is amazing
il was not realized sooner what
great moral success Germanys ad-
mission to the league would be.
The future policy of Germany de-
nends much more than is thought
upon the policy of the allies, particu-
larly on that of France and Britain,
toward her. A modus vivendi be-
tween France and Germany is there
fore desirable"
Sees Far East Problem.
Herriot seemed pessimistic regard
ing events in the far east, predicting
that the United States decision con-
rerning Japanese immigration will
have serious consequences to the
whole world, with inevitable clashes,
due to the necessity for Japan find
ing room abroad for her surplus pop
ulation."
He added: Evidently Japan will
make a peaceful invasion of Mon
goIia, China, Brazil Peru and New
Caledonia. But will that suffice?
Probably Japan will then be obliged
TO begin a struggle for existence that
will shake western civilization, for
biological laws are unconquerable."
