T NEW ANGLO.FRENCHTE PAT DSEOUNTE Tardieu Doubts Agreemerit Satisfactory to France Will Follow Parleys. BY ANDRE TARDIEU. By Cable to The Star. PARIS, June 28.—The series of in- terallied conferences, suspended in 1922, has been resumed. This fact ives rise 1o sharp debates, both in aris and London. where international affairs ggain have become topics of internal politics. he governments proudly proclaim | that these canferences will arrange everything. The opposition declare that they are perfectly even dapgerous. One of the strongest governmental arguments is that a cordial conversa- tion at last has been held between British and French premiers, repl ing that of the rigid. cold formali of Poincare and Curzon. Against this ¥s the fact that, despite the cordiality, Do positive xolution to the differences between the two countries has yet sppeared There is tween the useless and considerable difference be- t Chequers communique and_the ement issued later at Brussels. “Complete agreement” and “moral pact of continuous collabera- tinu" were phrases used in the former case, whereas a few days later that is modified to “conversations hope of close co-o = of security was touched Furthermore, Prime Minister Mag- Donald in the House of Commons said not a word confirming in the slightest degree the conclusion of a Franco- British military guarantee pact. Thus we find optimism exaggerated from the very outset, and in probing to the bottom of things this becomes more apparent 2 Take reparations. It is announced that the Dawes plan will be executed It is a well worked out plan, but it dnes not touch the underlying politi- cal problem of reparations. Every- = | logical divergence body discusses the Dawes Faport, but m‘hfiv has read it.- Is R r.e.'nud at the report says not a ward about many's tatal payment nar even the amount she will pay angually? Or thdt it does not became fully effective for five years? parently not, for on one hand it is sald that the Ruhr will be evacuated as soon s the report is axecuted gnd on the other that the date of evacuation is fixed for 1935, Remember also that the rpepart quite justly did net touch on the matter” of intgr-allied debts—bi what is more serious, Mr. MacDonald cven refused to discuss them gt this simply means that with over $6,500,000,000 he consents’ to ons plan, which any German pay- ns by granting Ger- many $200,000,000 oredits.

France Is asked ta substitute control by the league for the system which Versailles ingtituted, of Rhine occupation and military guarantee pacts. France is to get o definite military agreements, but very general pnes which amount practically to mere reinforcement of the famous article X of the league covenant France is asked to quit the Ruhr immediately and probably will be asked to quit the Rhine also. Lloyd jeorge opposed occupation of the Rhine for six months during the peace conference and Machonald seems determined to revert to that policy. But beyond all these technical di- vergencies there is a deeper psycho- which makes difficult to believe that a solution be Feached is acceptable France. “Complete agreement,” the French peaple were toid the other day. How can anybedy who knows MacDonald's mentality and past acts believe this? The truth, as the Belgians have well seen, is that MacDonald is trying to lead France under the league banner to a new peace which will have nothing in common with the treaty of Versailles All that Clemenceau and the writer wen from Lloyd @eorge in 1914 is to be stricken out and everything Lloyd George wanted inserted. that to (Cqprright, 1924.)

PARIS, June 34.—"America is back again It is mot only the five hunderd Amgrican athletes, manggers and traipers who today throng the Paris bouleyards, conspicuous with their Stars and Stripgs hatbgnds and Stars and Stripes shields on their breasts. For simultaneously with them ar- rived news which all Europe takes to mean that the United States, after five'years of unofficial observing, has at last taken the plunge and will go to the London conference prepared to back a general plan for European peace based on the Dawes report as to the technical side and on the league of nations in the broader aspects. Europe refuses to believe that the presence of Secretary Hughes in Lon- don at the time of the conference is a _mere coincidence or that President Coolidge’s hearty indorsement of the abjects of the conference Is his mere personal view without binding sig- nificance so far gs the American is concerned. U. S. Actually Participating. Does "this mean that Europe be- lieves America is preparing formal to join the league of nations or even formally to participate in all E ropean peace’ conferences? Not a all. But Europe is coming around to the view that formalities do not mat- ter. America may not associate her- self, de jure, in Burope's affairs, but wi it is Delieved that her de facto partic- Ipgtion is slready sccomplighed. t is pointed out that both the Dawes report and the league itself are essentially American. Despite repeated refusals of the United States formally to join the league, which at last are taken as final on this side, Europe’s constant feeling about the league is that there Is deep sympathy for it in America, perhaps, indeed, deeper than in any Kuropean country, and that this sympathy will, in the long run, mean throwing America's support to any peace project which has the league for its basis. Prime Minister MacDonald always sympathized with the league himself and he Is unquestionably playing for American support when he proposes to make the league, instead of narrow alllances, the guardian of continental peace. Hughes Visit Held Signtficant. It is pointed out, for example, that although no formal agreement, rati- ified by Parllament, existed before the war_which obliged Great Britain to aid France in case of German attack, nevertheless commitments had been made in letters and speeches by re- sponsible British statesmen, and, when the test came, Sir Edward Grey in- Emmmmnwu\‘n‘:;umm:m AT RN A Real Bargain! \SHINGTON, D.

If merican gold is poured out to con- solidate KEuropean peace—as It fis hoped will be the case when the Dawes report is executed—it will be because all concerned, tacitly or ex- plicitly, understand that the Amer- ican government is committed to a policy of iuterference in Eurape, whenever there 1s a situation which menaces peace and thereby menaces the safety of American jnterests in Europe, President Coolidge's words of sym- pathy and Secretary Hughes' mere presence, in the view of Europeans, will amount to a record on the pages of history of America's determina- tion to assert her power and influ- | ence in Europe, first, to bring about a balanced peace, and secondly, to guarantee its permanence.
