LAUSANNE DEAL
STRONG WEAPON
FOR HITLER|TES
Herriot Regime Is Menaced
by London Denial of
His Interpretation.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SINIMS
Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, July 15.-More
than one European government may
fall as a result of the unprecedented
snarl over the meaning of the Lau-
same reparations and war debts
settlement and the new Anglo
French entente.
The position of the Herriot gov
eminent at Paris has been seriously
undermined by London's denials of
Premier Herriott's interpretations of
what the understanding mean, and
if he fails to cling to his own par
ticular version he more than likely
will be overthrow.
On the other hand, if he does
stick to his guns and continues to
hold out against Britain that the
agreements give France what
amounts to veto power over the war
debts settlements, which Europe
hopes to make with the United
States, the new entente would be
vitiated, if not killed.
Assert Won Papen Duped
In Germany, a storm Is reported
gaining velocity daily over the
outcome at Lausanne.
The Nazis of Adolf Hitler, and
other Nationalist, are making po-
litical capital of the way Chancellor
Won Papen was "duped'
More than ever the prediction
is that the Hitlerites will sweep
/ Germany in the national elections
two weeks from Sunday.
Publication of the text Of the
"gentleman'S agreement" is said to
have added fuel to the fire of Ger
man nationalism.
The first words in the document
are cited to prove that, despite
British denials, a united 'front.'
has been formed against the
United States, and that unless the
United States gives way, Germany
will reap no benefits whatever from
Lausanne.
Knew Nothing Of 1t
According to the agreement as
published, it is mot to become
effective until ratified, and ratifi-
cation will not take place before
a satisfactory settlement is OBJ
tanned between them (the allies
and their own creditors"
OF this agreement Won Papen,
head of the German government
and the German delegation at
Lausanne, it is admitted, knew
nothing until the banquet held to
celebrate the settlement" was at
it's height.
The plumbers at Lausanne then
may turn the tide in Germany and
put the flre-eating Hitler in pow
er. With Hitler and Germany's ex-
treme nationalist in the saddle,
Europe will have to face grave new
dangers, and for this situation
Herriot's enemies in France will
blame him. If he is not out of
office before that time, his fall will
not be long delayed.
