MENT

Iondon.-WIth the exception OF one
technical point, this relating 10 rep
arution transfers from Germany, the
Interallicd conference reached com
pIetc agreement on how the Dawes
plan should be made operative.
The magic wand of arbitration, held
I'm the hands of the French and waved
over the conference table has wrought
wonders for interallied diplomacy. bit-
ferences which last week threatened
to break up the parlcys have dlsap-
pcnred. and even among the allied del
egations there are expressions ot sur
prise and wonderment that the task
which for days seemed to be Impossible
has been accomplished.
The American delegates, official and
unofficial observers, including owen u.
Young and james \. Logan, Jr, eN-
pressed the opinion that the confer
cnce results are sound economically
and financially, and that the Dawes
plan will be put to work without loss
Of any Of its effectiveness.
From all quarters there come the
highest tributes To the cunciliatory at
titude taken by the French delegation.
Premier Herriot's principle for arbi-
trating differences which may arise
has carried the day, although nearly
every point in the proposals he sub
mirtcd has been altered, but not to an
extent that the French premier has
endangered his political position at
home or that credit can be detractcd
from the French efforts To bring the
conference to Il successful termination
So that the Dawes proposals can be
given the earliest opportunity for
Eurupc's economic Ills.
The experts. including Mr.. Logan
and Mr. Young and Mr.. Frazer Of
Great BRITAIN, who sat around the
Downing street conference table, work
ing with only Interruptions for meals.
over Mr. Herriot's plans, so MS to have
them acceptable to all the delegates.
Throughout this difficult work the
Americans have played an important
role Mr.. Young has sat in at all of
the committee meetings, lending his
expert advice on the highly techni-
cal point of the Dawes plan and Mr..
Logan has participated actively dur
ing the final sessions of the commit
tee, where he was continually called
upon TO assist in rccunciling diver
gent AnglO-FrenCh viewpoints.
