made no trade on tariff arrange.
ments to gain the Ruhr evacuation
decision and that it will be in the
negotiations in Paris untrammelled

Macdonald Sees Hope
Premier Macdonald, in addressing
the delegates, characterized the re.
suits OF the London conference as
the tlrst really negotiated agreement
since the war. 1t was more than
words printed on paper, for it was
IN TACT the first peace treaty, mas
much as the delegates at this con-
terence had turned their backs on
war and thoughts of war, he said.
Addressing Chancellor Marx. Mr..
Macdonald spoke of the difficulties
the German ministers face. He
knew their burdens were heavy, he
SAID, and their people might not be
TOO happy at the results achieve :.
but he recommended to Germany to
study the system of arbitration
agreed upon, where the defects in
the Dawes plan might be remedied.
In other words" said the premier,
the period of national isolation is
ended, and that of exchange of views
and of reasonable exchange of ex-
periences has begun. That is the
advance the London conference has
made. However, our work is only
beginning, and we must contin,,e
step by step the work Of peace
making and restoration. There is a
m
goal Of European peace and securi-
ty, but l think we are on the right
road"

expressed gratitude to Mr.. MacDon-
aid, who, he said, had guided them
patiently and Loyalty. He declared
that to put the Dawes plan into OPP
GRAFTON was difficult work, the be-
ginning of a new era. All the prob

said, but he saw the dawn; France
had suffered much, but she only ask
ed for her rights.
Chancellor Marx also thanked LII.
Macdonald for his understanding
He pointed out the heavy task the
German delegates and the RESPONSE
bilities they had assumed in accept
ing the Dawes plan. They were
much encouraged by the provision
made for arbitration. He expressed
the hope that this would always be
used, and that war would come 10

future there would be brought to
all international conferences the
spirit of peace which had reigned
