AGREE ON COMMON PLAN.
Macdonald and Herriot See Need of
Joint Program.
BY PAIL SCOTT M0WRER

TatL SUI MONhE
BY Cable TO The Star
GENEVA, June 15.-The main result
of the conversations between Premier
Herriot and Prime Minister Macdonald
which continued here today, seems to
be an agreement that the first essen
tial to peace is common Franco-British
program.
The American delegation is believed
to concur in this diagnosis, which re-
sembleS the view reached by Secretary
Stimson on his visit to Geneva
The German, Italian and Russian
delegations, however, feel differently
Openly they are working together, OBJ
viouSly under the influence of a fear
that the Franco-B British program may
in some respects be contrary to their
interests. The Americans feel these
fears are unjustified.
The situation martially Is somewhat
embarrassing to the American delega-
ton, which is unable to be represented
even indirectly at Lausanne. The
League Of Nations Committee on Aus
TRAN Relief, now meeting here. will
move to Lausanne Friday, but the
American member, Norman H. Davis
who also is on the American disarma-
ment delegation, will doubtless feel
unable to accompany the committee lest
it be said that the United States is
mixing in the reparations talk.
The French and British. It Is be-
lieved. are perfectly agreed on the ques-
ton of prompt aid to Austria. On the
reparations question they are believed
to favor a brief moratorium TO Ger
many. with the committee meanwhile
working on q permanent solution to be
reached after the American elections.

BONUS ARMY PAYS
TRIBUTE TO ESL|CK
Veterans Disheartened by
Death-Some Preparing
to Return Home.

The rank and file of the bonus army
solemnly brushed the mud from non
descript clothing today and marshaled
themselves into a strange guard Of
honor for the funeral cortege of Repre-
sentative Eslick Of Tennessee, who
died on the floor OF the House yesterday
with plea for the veterans on his lips.
The sudden death of their champion
in Congress. coupled with other set
backs that have developed during the
past few days, has had a SOLDERING effect
on the hitherto carefree expeditionary
force. Some of the veterans. plainly
discouraged and disillusioned in their
hopes for prompt enactment of bonus
legislation. were pulling up stakes and
heading for home today
Requirements Lacking.
Requirements for these men were
slow in arriving. About 48 hours have
passed without the arrival of any dele
cation Of considerable numbers.
Another break in the ranks of the
faithful appeared imminent with the
decision of the delegation from Kenosha,
Wis, 81 strong, to leave for home to-
morrow. Their commander, William
Detert. said he would remain here.
Health conditions, already bad, were
complicated by a decision to close the
only clinic at which ailing veterans
have been receiving treatment.
Meanwhile plans were being worked
out for disqualification of sick veterans
at Gallinger Municipal Hospital. under
arrangements made by Police Chief
Glassford with Dr. Edgar A. Bocock,
superintendent of the hospital.
DR.. Bocock agreed to take care of
any patients sent to Gallinger from
authorized first aid stations to be set
up in the various camps. If Gallinger
is unable to accommodate all of the
cases they will be distributed to other
hospitals, it was announced.
Red Tape Being Unwound.
The first aid stations will hold two
sick calls daily and seriously i'll men
will be removed TO the central dis

LAUSANNE. Switzerland, June IS
The big four" of the economic con-
ference, which opens here tomorrow,
talked over the program this afternoon
at the hotel where Prime Minister Ram
say Macdonald of Great Britain is
living
Mr. Macdonald is virtually assured of
election as chairman Of the conference.
assisting him in the preparation of the
agenda were Premier Herriot of France,
Chancellor Won Papen of Germany.
Dino Grand Of Italy ard Paul Hymans,
| Who will represent Belgium.
Meanwhile statesmen Of a dozen
European countries began arriving for
! the conference.
The first problem to be discussed is
relief for Germany from the burden OF
| reparations payments, more than $780,
| 0000 00 of which will fall due on July
| Is unless a new arrangement is arrived
at here.
The eve Of the conference showed the
whole problem shrouded in deep uncer-
| tainty. The most hopeful sign was the
result of the conference last week end
| in Paris between Macdonald and Herriot.
"A Common Viewpoint"
While Macdonald made it clear after
| the conference that there had been no
| bargaining or compromise he said the
British and French had discovered they
were thinking along the same lines re-
garding the problems that have to be
solved A communique issued after the
parleys said the premiers had reached
a common viewpoint"
A new moratorium. from one to five
years. was looked upon as the most
| likely solution Of the PREPARATIONS prob
| lem. No suggestion of reputation of
war debts in the event Germany is I'M
able or unwilling to make further repa-
rations payments was advanced from
any responsible quarter.
The Young Plan Advisory Committee
| decided six months ago Germany was
| temporarily unable to make further
! payments on the total debt of 26,500,-
100000 fixed in 1929 by the Young
| plan. This was to have been paid
over Sc years. ending in 1888.
The advent of a new German
! cabinet of extreme Rightest tendencies
on the eve of the conference also has
served to increase the size of the ques-
| ton mark which hangs over the future
of the parleys.
Hitler Alarms French.
| France. in particular, has cast an
| uneasy eye on the succession OF the
| German Right to power, with the pros
pect, even more alarming to the French,
! of a Hitler sweep in the German gen.
eral elections which are scheduled for
late July.
The conference opens tomorrow in
| the Beau Rivage Hotel and the prime
! ministers of the larger powers are ex-
pected to take the floor almost i'm
mediately to enter their pleas for or
against cancellation of reparations and
other intergovermental obligations. The
i, reparations problems of Hungary and
| Bulgaria also are included in the
agenda of the conference
Plenary sessions will be held at the
Beau Rivage Hotel, which is in Ouchy,
the port on Lake Lemon which serves
Lausanne, and the private committee
meetings in the chateau of Ouchy.

BERLIN, June 15.-The Prussian Diet
today passed Communist bill demand
ing withdrawal of the Reich from the
League of Nations. and rejected an
other which would suspend further pay

The demand upon the Reich for with
drawal from the League has no bind

of the Communists and Nazis who sup
ported it.
The Hohenzollern bill referred to
certain payments arising from the final
statement of the Prussian state in 1925
with the former ruling house Of Ger

picturesque touch was lent to the
