 Paris, Nov 27.-(UP)--Premi Pierre Lavars foreign policy, which calls for separations payments from Germany before payments of Germany's private debts including two billion dollars in America alone, has won a surprising vote of confidence.
 The premier who recently con- ferred in Washington with Presi- dent Hoover, also advanced as his governments foreign policy, in- sistence that no basic changes be made in the Young plan, and that there be no reduction in repara- tions without proportionate re- duction in French war debt pay ments.
 The premier offered detailed | report on his visit with President | Hoover, and on his visit in Ber- lin. prior to the vote of confidence. He insisted he had made no "secret agreements"
 The chamber of deputies, with the radical socialists abstaining, voted confidence in the foreign policy by 325 to 150. The major ity of 175 surprised even the ar- dent supporters of Laval. As result, the premier seemed certain to remain in power until | after the legislative elections of next spring with a movement to overthrow the government due to internal questions apparently quashed.
 Laval discussed the foreign policy for 40 minutes. Regard ing reparations, he said: Firstly. we will not agree to basic changes In the Young plan, but will accept provisional ar engagements for the duration of the crisis.
 Secondly, France will agree to reduction of reparations only in proportion to reductions agreed to in Frances war debts.
 Thirdly, France will not agree to priority of payment of Ger many's private credits over repara- tions.
 "Fourthly, France insists upon continuation of payment of uncon- ditional annuities.
 Before defining Frances def- mite position" the premier con- tinued, T am awaiting firstly the United States congress approval of the Hoover moratorium, and secondly. the report of the Basic experts who will study Germany's capacity to pay"
 The premier was cheered by the deputies and by hundreds in the galleries. including his wife and daughter, Josette. At the end of the session, deputies rushed to congratulate Laval, who nervously tugged at his white necktie and smiled as he hurried from the chamber to his automobile to be driven home.
 The position of the German gov ernment is that the relation be- tween loans and separations is in- escapable. Germany has paid Preparations through private loans for the past seven years and the government sees no other method after the end of the Hoover mora torium.

most heavily interested in German loans, her share of an estimated German debt to private creditors of $2,000,000,000 in long term loans (the estimate arrived at by the Albert H. Wiggs committee ) being more than $1,25O. 900, ,000. i Her short term credits made the figure about two billion in long term loans. Holland, Great Bri- tain, and Sweden follow the United States, while the French invest ment, exclusiely Dawes and Young plan bonds, is less than one tenth that of the United States. Germany's total debt to private creditors, in short and long term loans, was estimated by the Wig | gin committee at more than $4,- 046, 100000.
 The German government favors | priority for private debts to con- serve the credit of her entire finan- cial constitution, including the cen- tral government and states, muni- cipalities and banks.
 French loans to Germany amount to less than 0,000,000. If the
 whole of the reparations bill IS paid, France will receive from
 Germany approximately $13,262,- 000,000.
 The actual cash advanced by | private United States sources to
 Germany more than doubles the theoretical payments the United States could receive from repara- tions. Receiving 3.3 per cent of Germany's payments under the
 Young plan. the United States would be paid approximately $S81,- 000,000 throughout the entire separations program. while in addi- tion to the $1.250,0 100000 in long term loans, United States short terms credits to Germany are esti- mated at over $500, O,000.000.

Cleveland Charities Head,

present widespread unemployment is

The director is Edward D. Lynde,

social workers, he is trying to care for
destitute families of Cleveland's unem-

from IS 900 to 5000.
