NJ DONALD WOULD
PUT DAWES PLAN
To WORK At ONCE

YORK, England, April 20.-By
the Associated Press.)-To take the
reparation experts report as
whole and put it into operation all
at once with everybody back Of it
was the course advocated by Prime
Minister Macdonald in addressing
a crowded labor meeting in the
Theater Royal here yesterday. He
that the allies should accept Ger.
many's word and advocated her ad.
mission to the League of Nations
as another step for bringing peace
to the continent.
IL urging unity among the allies
ir applying the plan outlined by
the rercrt, Mr.. Macdonald said it
was clear from that document that
II they went on for another two
years and carried out the policy
that cad been practiced for two or
three years past there would be no
hope for relief, no hope of repara-
ton ard none for security or peace
To take the chance that now was
offered and put the plan into oper-
alton 40 a whole and then go on
and finish the job and bring peace
and security to the continent was
what he cared about and what he
was going to work for.
Nationalism Held Dangerous
BY letting Germany join the
League of Nations, he said, they
could complete the organization
upon which he would like to found
the future peace of Europe. He re-
garded the rise of an extreme ma.
tiOnalism in Germany as very
great menace-dangerou TO Europe
and deplorable for Germany as we'll
The policy of the allies, he said, was
largely responsible for this rise of
the German nationalist movement
lie urged that the allied attitude
should be to accept Germany's
word, and he pointed out that the
greatest danger Germany offered to
Europe now was not the danger of
arms, but the danger of industrial
deterioration.
Turning to the experts report on
reparations, the premier declared he
would be glad to find the entire
country back of him in his view that
the report ought to be taken as q
whole.
There were things in it he did not
like and things in it he did like, but
if he began to raise this detail and
that detail, France, Belgium and
Germany would do the same and
they would be exactly where they
started.
Good Will Needed
Even if they had an agreement In
these circumstances they would
never get good will behind the agree
ment.
Here is your chance" continued
Mr.. Macdonald. Put it into oper
alton all at once, all together. Then,
when that is done, go on and finish
the job and bring peace and security
to the continent"
Referring to India, the premier
said:
1--WE know the serious condition
Of affairs in India and we want to
improve it. AS Lord olivier (head
of the Indian office says without
equivoca ton, a dominion status for
India is the idea and ideal of the
labor government
If ] may say so to our Indian
friends:
"'Do your bit for the British
democracy; keep your faith in a Brit
