PARIS. August 2l.-Premier Her
riot put the Dawes reparation plan
and the London agreement for max
ing it effective before the Chamber of
Deputies this afternoon and told the
members: 81, for my part. have chosen
but nothing final has been done and
Parliament, in its turn, can choose"
Evacuat ation of the Ruhr, the premier
said, had dominated everything at
the international conference in Lon
don and he had had "to choose be-
tween the re-establishment of an in
terallied entente and the continuance
of isolated action"
Praises Arbitration Provi$O.
NJ. Herriot emphasized that arbitra-
tion was the great principle estab-
1ished at the London conference and
asserted that France would gain by
it, for ''it would need great deal of
optimism to believe that France in
the future could again get the ma
jority of votes which enabled her to
enter the Ruhr.''
I'VE can only rejoice" NJ. Herriot
continued, "to have associated with
us the great American republic, which
has witnessed our sufferings and
which has all the authority necessary
to supervise the execution of the
program which was due in a large
part to it's Initiative"
The reparation problem, in which
France was the most interested party,
had now been taken from the political
into the economic field. the Premier
continued. and I'VE have given a very
large role to American citizens in our
organization, which was done de-
signedly."
Reminder From Britain.
Frances freedom of action, M.
Herriot said. had been defended to
the utmost in London, but the situa-
tion had become grave. Then Prime
Minister Macdonald of Great Britain
in two letters had reminded the
French and Belgians of the declara-
tion they had made when they enter
ed the Ruhr that they had done SO
merely to enforce payment by the
Germans.
The German delegates at London.
through the British prime minister,
had made it plain that the Reichstag
would not accept the proposed plan
unless the Ruhr were evacuated.
Nevertheless, M. Herriot went on, he
had come before the cabinet in Paris
decided to limit to a maximum of
one year the military occupation of
the Ruhr."
Forced to Suspend.
A violent display by the Commun-
lists forced Paul Painleve, president
of the chamber, to suspend the sit
ting after the premier had finished
his statement. NJ. Martyrs language
had been SO unrestrained that NJ.
Painleve had at various times warned
him, but when finally he produced
the Communists amnesty poster and
waved it from the rostrum, NJ. Pain
leve put on his hat, signifying the
session was at end.
The Communist deputy then started
to scale the sccretary's desk and to
occupy the speakers vacant chair, but
the ushers prevented this move in
time and hastily evacuated the cham
her and it's galleries, while the eX-
treme radicals kept on crying Am
nesty."
Ministers Are Denounced.
The phrase which made NJ. Pain
leve suspend the sitting was Martyrs
shouted declaration: "All the minis
tiers are filthy scoundrels."
Proposes Security Conferences.
NJ. Herriot repeated his promise to
70 before the assembly of the League
Of Nations at Geneva in support of
the pact for mutual assistance and to
urge the league to organize its right
of investigation under the treaty Of
Versailles in regard to states whose
armaments are limited by treaties.
He said the French delegation had
done it's utmost in London to bring
forward the problem of interallied
debts. but that it had found it i'm
possible to graft this question on to
the question of the execution of the
Dawes plan. This, however, he add
ed, would be discussed at another con-
ference.
Security" the premier Continued,
should be considered at another con-
ference. 1 do not see why France
should not take the initiative in such
q brave manner"
Puts Hope in League.
NJ. Herriot reminded Parliament that
he had obtained an agreement from
the British at London that they
would not withdraw from the Cologne
area until after it was determined
