The HeAdoo leaders said the let-

....was so phrased as not to put him in

the position of formally withdraw-

ln'ents ho had drawn up with M.
Herriot constituted the joint note
which'explaiqed how the Dawes
plan problems might be settled at
the interailied London conference
which remained fix for July to. lie
declared there was no thought of
postponing the conference.

PARIS. July 9,—The Premiere of
France and Great Britain resumed
thrir conversations this morning at
ten o'clock in the Foreign Office.
though looking very fatigued from
their long night session at the Bri-
tish Embassy which did not end un-
til after midnight.

The absence of any indication
whatever as to how the negotiations
are going after the two long talks
yesterday gave rise to a pessimistic
impression in unofficial circles. The
opposition to Premier Herriot dwelt
this morning on the assertion that if
everything were going well the Pre-
mier would be eager to let it become
known. ‘

The conversations are centering.
it is understood. on the British Pro.
\mier's proposal to dispossess the
lteparafion Commission of its right
to decide if and when Germany is in
default on the Dawes Reparation
plan. Several propositions have been
decided/on one which. while leav-

' lhe Reparation Commission to
3; when Germany was in default,
would get up another organisation
to decide whcther that default were
voluntary.

With “all Rights.

Another suggestion is that the in-
ler'sllicd Council of Ambassadors—
with an American member having
lull rights with the others. and the
Council perhaps enlarged to take in
somo of lhe neutral states—sup"-
sedc the licparaiion Commission in
supenlslng execution of the Dawes
plan.

Mr. MacDonald and 3!. Harriet
both are understood to be eager to
arrange lhe supervision so the L'niied
States shall have a share in it. on
equal footing with the‘allics. ,
even said in British cirtles‘*tha
MacDonald would be pleased if a
settlement could be made by the
election of an American to tho presi-
dency of the Separation Commission
with the same preponderant rights
as are now accorded to the French
President.
