considerable opposition provides for the

Regardless Of the opposition, Senator
Jones is confident the conference re-

ON PAY CUT BILL

Leave Status Left Un-

The fears Of metropolitan park and
White House police and District firemen
that the pending Through bill would
cut of their annual leave and at the
same time subject them to an sls per
cent pay slash were allayed today by
Mai. Daniel ]. Donovan, District audi
tor, who pointed to a clause in the bill
by which their leave status Is unchanged.
These classes, along with school
teachers, whose annual pay comes in
10 monthly installments. sustain the
wage reduction provided In lieu of pay
less furloughs for indispensable" work
ers. but, as Maj Donovan amplifled, a
specific exemption preserves their
leave.
The bill says, Donovan continued,
that all rights now conferred or au-
thorized to be conferred by law upon
any offcer or ernploye to receive annual
leave OF absence with pay are hereby
suspended during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1888" and then further on,

FRENCH PLAN ST|RS
DEBTS PACT HOPES
Accord With British Looms
on Suspension Period in
Reparations.
81 the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, June 22-
The prospect of Franco British accord
on the question Of reparations rose over
the conference of European powers here
today and warmed what had been a
virtual stalemate into new activity.
The new hope sprung last night when
Premier Edouard Herriot of France in
formed Prime Minister Macdonald of
Great Britain that France was ready to
adopt a new policy, differing widely
from her previous attitude. and includ-
ing the virtual scrapping Of the Young
plan.
Meanwhile it was learned on high
authority that Baron Won Neurath Ger
man foreign minister, had submitted
to Mr.. Macdonald q memorandum
proposing a five-year consultative eco
nomic pact

1t summarizes why Germany is un-
able to pay further reparations and sug-
gests that all the countries represented
At this conference agree for five years
to take no steps likely to harm the
trade of others without consulting all
the signatories of the pact.
The new French plan has three main
points 1t calls for;
/. Suspension of German reparations
payments for one, two or more years.
2. Continuation of Germany's dellv-
cries in kind.
3. A suggestion that. at the end OF
the suspension period. France would
ask that final global sum be fixed,
spread among the United States and
countries receiving reparations pay
ments.
The new proposal had developed so
far that the French and Belgian repre-
sentatives even began a discussion OF
how much this final sum ought to be.
British Favorable.
The British delegation indicated the
proposals met with some degree OF
favor with them and intimated that the
new French policy might result in a
Franco-British accord.
M. Herriot's suggestions, as commune
Gated to Mr.. Macdonald. also asked for
the reconstruction of Germany and

would also save large amounts IN
the operating expense in all nations
of land, sea and air forces. It would
greatly reduce offensive strength
compared to defensive strength In all
nations.
"These proposals are simple and
direct. They call upon all nations to
contribute something. The contri-
button here proposed will be relative
and mutual I know Of nothing that
would give more hope for humanity
today than the acceptance Of such
a program with such minor changes

There was sharp difference In at

the plan by members of the British

Prime Minister Macdonald spoke
with restrained cordiality. but Sir
johns comments were frigidly polite
rather than friendly The difference
merely emphasized a division of senti-
ment on foreign policy which has exist

Presidents message.

merely increase the French insecurity.
AS matter of fact. they said Germany
would not be reduced equally with
france In fighting strength, for she
does not possess many Of the arms
which would be affected.
In addition to these objections, the
French also professed to be offended
at the manner in which the proposal
was launched. They criticized it as
