PARIS, August l0.-Unanimous ap-
proval has been given by the cabinet
to the action of Premier Herriot ano
his colleagues at the London repara-
tions conference.
This was announced at the conclu-
sion of the special cabinet council al
1880 o'clock this morning.
A communique issued shortly after
the cabinet council adjourned says
THE ministerial council was ac-
quainted with what was done at the
mous1y to give its full appreciation
Consequently NJ. NJ. Herriot. Clemen-
tel and Gen. Nollet will leave Paris
for London today Sunday"
stormy Days Forecast.
Despite the communique stating
that the cabinet fully approved the
course pursued in the London nego-
tiations and the plans NJ. Herriot, NJ
Clementel and Gen. Nollet will follow
upon their return to the conference,
newspaper editorials this morning
were somewhat less optimistic.
days ahead. and reproaches Premier
Herriot for having totally ignored his
predecessors program. L'Eclaire
holds that NJ. Herriot is responsible
for the present quandary. LIE Rappel
says that the Anglo Saxons are COM
bining against the Latins and France
The Figaro declares that Marshal
Foch undoubtedly expressed his
views on the question of the Ruhr
and that whoever disregards these
assumes a grave responsibility.
Debts Parley in Autumn.
1t is expected that the London con-
ference will close it's work by the
end of the coming week. Premier
Herriot and his colleagues will leave
for London this evening. The Senate
and Chamber are expected to meet
August 90
1t is understood that the proposed
conference to discuss the question
of inter-allied debts will be sum-
moned after the American elections,
probably at the end of November. 1t
is suggested that this would permit the
United States to participate.
Welcomed i'm Paris.
Premier Herriot's first greeting upon
his arrival in Paris from London last
night was from the anti-militarist
railroad men, who organized an i'm
promptu demonstration around the
'Vive Herriot" and viva la Paix"
had at his disposal here was given
over to d private talk with Frances
greatest militarist, Marshal Foch.
The fact that the premier had asked
the head of the inter-allied military
committee to confer with him previ-
Gus to the cabinet meeting, for which
III. Herriot made a flying trip to
Paris, evoked much comment during
the evening as showing that the mill
tary element is not yet entirely out
of the reparations question.
This impression gained further
ground when at 10 o'clock last night
the marshal drove up to the Elysee
Palace after the members of the cabi-
net had arrived. NJ Herriot and the
ministers had little to say as they
passed into the executive mansion.
Declare Accord Prevails.
The premier, War Minister Nollet
and Finance Minister Clementel all
declared there was no discord in the
French delegation at London, but that
tehre were important matters to be
considered with the full cabinet.
All the ministers looked grave and
preoccupied as they passed into the
Elysee. Marshal Foch remained only
an hour and a half in a room adjoin-
ing the cabinet room. where he had
a talk with M. Nollet, while Premier
Herriot gave his colleagues a sum-
mary of the proceedings at London.
The first communique given out by
the minister read: THE president of
the council, in accord with the other
French delegates to the London con-
ference, made a very detailed state
ment on the negotiations at London,
which are still continuing. The pre-
mier before the meeting of the cabi-
net had conversation with the min
lister of war"
Ruhr Question Up.
The ministers and the members of
the London delegation did not say
what specific questions the cabinet
discussed, but the general inference
from the developments at London and
the premier's talk with Marshal Foch
was that the government was asked
to act as a whole on the question of
the evacuation of the Ruhr.
M. Herriot's consultation with Mar
shall Foch surprised the members Of
his own official family as we'll as his
party supporters, but 1t is declared
that he wanted the advice of the
highest military authority in France
and the head of the fnterallied mill
tary committee before taking final
action.
The only speculation as to the out
come of the cabinet council was that
the premier might find it possible to
trade of immediate evacuation of the
Ruhr In exchange for an agreement
