BRITAIN CANNOT ENTER
INTO NEW DEBT PACTS,
ALONE, HERRIOT STATES
Opinions Differ
France Says United States
Is Involved, but Britain
Saws 1t Is Not.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A difference of Interpretation OF
the new agreement between France
and Great Britain appeared to have
developed today Immediately after
the agreement was announced simul-
taneously in London and Paris.
The official British Interpretation
was that both governments. under
the accord, will consult with each
other on all matters which concern
them both. Parliament was In
formed that it had nothing whatever
to do with debts owed to the United
States
While Sir John Simon was making
the announcement in London. Pre-
mier Herriot was telling the Finance
Committee in the Chamber of Depu-
ties that the first consequence of the
new agreement is that in the future
Great Britain cannot make new ar
rangementS for debt payments to
America without first consulting
France.

Sti1nson Talks
to Hoover ON
Situation.
SECRET ACCORD
HELD MISTAKE
Powers Come Near
Wreckingg Farley
bv "Hush" Plan.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Secretary of State StimSon and
Assistant Secretary Rogers called
this morning at the White House,
where they remained in confer
ence with President Hoover for
more than an hour.
1t is believed the visit was con-
nected with the situation which
has arisen out of the declaration
of the British chancellor of the
exchequer, Neville Chamberlain,
that the American Government
was fully aware of the secret gen
tlemen's agreement with respect
to reparations and war debts.
Efforts are being made at pres
ent, especially by Premier Ramsay
Macdonald, to unwind the COM
plex international situation Gre
ated by the walks along the wind
ing paths" of the Lake of Geneva
of Mr.. Chamberlain and Ambassa-
dor Gibson.
Private Views Unimportant.
Whether or not Ambassador
Gibson has expressed his private
opinion that it would be a good
thing to have a secret gentlemen's
agreement is today matter of
no importance. 1t is now certain
that whatever he has said, if he
has said anything at all, was not
the point of view of the American
Government, but merely the ex-
preston of an idea as any private
Individual has a right to express
when talking with another pri-
vate individual.
The important question is
whether the storm created by the
sensational statement of the
British chancellor Of the eX-
chequer, in his official capacity in
the House of Commons. will have
as a result the jeopardizing of the
Lausanne agreement.
In the opinion OF responsible OnclalS
here, the alleged secret agreement
was a mistake of the first magnitude.
To begin with there was nothing secret
about the gentlemen'S agreement, since
practically every newspaper in the world
knew about this long before it had been
formulated as an actual agreement. 1t
is said that if the makers of the Lau-
same treaty had mentioned their res
ervation in a public document and had
not yielded to that passion Of shrouding
diplomatic agreements in deep Sc
crecy," which is bound to become pub
lie property before the ink had dried
on the document. the whole matter
would have passed almost unnoticed
and the unpleasant comments which it
would have created would have been
drowned in the praise of the repara-
tions settlement itself

Agreement.
POWERS MUST
COOPERATE
Neither Can Handle
Matters Affecting
Both Alone.
BY the Associated Press.

pS TUE hSSONIdLth 100.
PARIS, July 13-The first
immediate consequence of new
agreement between France and
Great Britain, announced this aft
ernoon, is that Great Britain in the
future cannot undertake to make
new arrangements for debt pay
mentS to the United States with
out first consulting France, Pre-
mier Herriot told the Chamber
Finance Committee this evening.
The new accord, he said, is a
complement to the "gentlemenS
agreement reached at Lausanne,
and the principle of that gentle
mems agreement" is that the
debtors of the United States would
not ratify the Lausanne treaty un-
til each had obtained beforehand
an acceptable settlement of its
own debts.
Concerted Action Certain.
That agreement, he said, is
happily completed In Ine Speclal
accord with Great Britain.
So far as France and England
are concerned, he said, a certainty
of a concerted attitude is assured
henceforth, thus facilitating the
success of negotiations with WASH
ington. =,
M. Herriot said that he conceived
the F'ranco-British agreement to be
resurrection of the Entente-Coroiale
and the opening of new era in
Franco-British relations.
From now on, under the agreement.
no problem affecting the interests OF
both countries can be handled by either
alone.
The two governments" said the
premier, promise to consult each other
on all important matters interesting
them which are calculated to Suggest
the wisdom Of European cooperation

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 13.-To
start the wheels of industry whirling
faster, the Milwaukee Association of

ing plan. designed to open the tightly
held purses CT Americas millions Of en-
ployed
The proposal is being studied by the
United States Chamber of Commerce for
possible submission to its affiliated
chambers and other business organiza-
tionS throughout the country.
Estimates of the orders it would pro-
duce range as high as $4,000, ,000, 900.
Its essence is removal of the fear of
losing jobs by the gainful1y employed.
To accomplish this. they would be asked
to promise to buy some needed items;
these pledges would be taken to leaders
Ct industries who would be requested 10
hire additional men and women on the
basis of the expected orders.
Then-and not until the industrial
leaders gave their assurances Of in
creased employment with it's concom-
infant expansion of general business
would the buying pledges be required to
be executed
Campaigns similar to Liberty Loan
drives would be followed in obtaining
the purchasing commitments over the

British Foreign Minister Tells Com
mons of French Pact.

LONDON, July l3 CP).-Announcement
vas made simultaneously In London
and Paris today that the French and
British governments had agreed to CO.
operate in efforts to solve European
political problems, which parallel the
financial and economic matters con-
sidered at Lausanne Conference.
Premier Herriot made the announce
ment in Paris and Sir John Simon
the foreign minister, told Parliament
of the agreement here.
Sir John made it clear that the new
ARRANGEMENT has nothing whatever to
do with the United States, but Is con-
Cerned only with European issues.
Text Due Today.
IF the French people are allowed
to believe that this agreement refers
TO the war debt owed to America" he
said they will be quickly disabused. u
The text of the Franco-British ac-
cord and also the text of the gentle
mems agreement" which was sort
of rider to the Lausanne treaty, Will
be published here and in Paris this
evening, it was announced.
The idea of the new agreement was
born at Lausanne, where Premier Her
riot and Prime Minister Ramsay Mac
Donald talked it over, but 1t took form
only today.
In an official quarter it was inter-
preted as a means OF obtaining Co
operation in the settlement of outstand-
ing political matters.
Specifically. it was understood, the
French government has in mind posi-
bic move for revision CT the treaty OF
Versailles which may be instituted at
some time in the future, presumably by
Germany.
BY the terms Of this new pact France
can be certain that Germany and Great
Britain or any other European nation,
cannot get together in common cause
for revision of the treaty without con-
sulting Paris.
The hope was expressed that other
European governments would SIGNIFY
their willingness to participate in the
agreement but if they don't it will stand
for France and Great Britain anyway.
Copies Given to Others.
Aside from the provision for a COM
mercial treaty, the accord is in no
sense special or exclusive. Sir John
said he already naQ given copies VI
the agreement to representatives OF
Germany, Italy and Belgium and in
vited those governments to associate
themselves with his declaration.
II want to be particularly clear on
disarmament" he said, I'VE have al
ready announced our intention of CO.
operating with the United States at
Geneva and I am going back there now
to help work out the principles OF
President Hoover's proposals"
The suggestion to other governments,
he said was that they adhere to the
rule that I'VE shall endeavor to pro-
mote political concord in Europe by
open. friendly discussion on all points
of difference; by seeking solution at
the disarmament conference which
shall be beneficial and equitable to all.
and by cooperating in preparations
for the all-important world economic
conference to take place this Autumn
in connection with which we hope to
have the advantage of American as
sistance."
