Settlement Is Made Law
in France.

PARIS, April 5.-The Young plan,
drawn up at Paris last Spring by the
financial experts of the United States
and other powers involved in the great
war and approved by two conferences
at the Hague. today became a law as
far as France is concerned.
With only 8 dissenting votes, the
French Senate this evening adopted a
resolution ratifying the plan, which was
approved a week ago in the Chamber
of Deputies by vote of $40 70 So. The
vote today was 2S4 to 8.
The legislative assemblies of Ger
many and France now have approved
the Young plan, bitterly attacked by
nationalistic elements in both countries.
Great Britain, italy, Japan and Bel

With the approval Of the plan the
last fear that French troops would not
evacuate the Rhineland by June 80 dis
appeared. Some Senators of the mod
crate groups, including former President
Millerand, objected to French evacua-
ton before the Reich had shown dis
position to execute the plan faithfully.
But they finally gave way before an
eloquent appeal from Premier Andre
Tardieu, who asked them to adopt the
plan as the only means for arriving at
a satisfactory understanding with Ger
many and the other reparations cred
