Premier Gets Biggest Majority Yet | From Deputies. By Radio to The Star and Chicazo Daily News PARIS., August 2 Premier Her- riot obtzined Sunday in the Chamber of Deputies the largest majority ever given him since he became France's prime minister. Many members of the opposition cast their vot not for Herriot, but in favor of application of the Dawes plan. An almost similar majority is expected in the Senate, where the de- bate will be more academic. Former Premier Poincare, who is expected to intervene in the debates, will confine his oratorical talent not so much to trying to prove that Herriot aban- doned France's vital interests at Lon- don, as to defend his past policy, without which he believes the Dawes plan never would have been born. Hopes of U, S. Aid. The overwhelming majority which Herriot obtained in the chamber was due not only to the fact that the French Parliament believes in the effi- cacy of the Dawes plan, but also that the chamber shared the premier's hopes that the United States will henceforth play a more active role in European politics. Herriot re- peatedly stated, amid unanimgus applause, that “he purposely invited American citizens to be appointed Whenever there was the slightest possibility of employing them \:e\- ause they were trusted by nll_rh‘-lrnes and also because America’s interest in foreign affaires was bound to in- crease when its own nationals have responsible positions in bodies which are to bring about a settlement of European quarrels.” REICHSTAG GETS REPORT.

Rome Paper Hopeful at French Backing of Herriot. By the Associated Press. ROME, August 25—The Sereno, commenting on the vote of confidence given Premier Herriot by the French Chamber of Deputies, for his work at the London international conference, declares that “peace has taken, even though timidly, a new step forward.” The newspaper adds that the approval of the Herriot policy is at the same time condemnation of the Ruhr policy of former Premier Poincare. Therefore, it says, one might well ask why “this same Herriot, who so consistently .and bitterly criticised Poincare for sending troops into the Ruhr, should now insist that these troops stay another year.” The editorial continues by stating the belief that the approval of the Freneh Chamber of the London pact will undoubtedly make easier the task of pushing it through the Sen- ate as well as through the German Reichstag. It is argued that if the approval of the reparations agree- ment signifies France is taking the best she can get, it will likewise signify that Germany will likely de- cide to approve as the lesser of two evils. It is concluded that, in any event the Chamber's vote for Herriot sig- nifies a real sign of the eradication of the seeds of war, which “Clemen- ceau and Poincare, since the day of the armistice, began sowing into the peace of Versailles.” The newspaper adds that “for the first time in ten years France shows signs of a tendency to wish to lay down her arms.” a ‘Whisky Stolen from Doctor.

Hours before he was due to start the last chapter of his plea for S. Leopold, jr., and Richard Loeb, the curious began to gather hoping that at least the head of the line might gain admission to th building and perhaps even find seats in the courtroom. All except about two dozen of the 275 seats in Judge John R. Caverly's courtroom went to friends of the attorneys or to per- sons who were known to court attaches. There was no crush or disorder be- cause the strong force of police kept the early arrivals in line and told the tardy ones to “move on.” Mr. Darrow said he had heen try- ing to “make a plain statement of facts In this case without considera tion of the lives and training of the boys. “We are not able to peer into the human brain and see workings, he sald. “We must judge men b conduct, for the mind is an elusive thing.
