The Seventy-second Congress adjourned its long session at 11:30 o'clock last night after a day of knock-down, drag-out battling marked by passage of the home loan bank bill and unemployment relief meas- ure and hours of acrimonious debate on prohibition and extraneous matters. | The climax of the night session came when the Senate finally triumphed over the House after an all-day deadlock on the home loan bank bill. House capitulation on the Borah-Glass currency expansion rider, by a vote of 120 to 114, ended the deadlock after three votes had been taken on the dispute. The bill then was sent to Presi- dent Hoover for his approval. It was expected that he would sign the bill. ; Relief Measure Approved.

PARIS, July 16.—The Natlonalist journal Des Debats declared today that | Premier Edouard Herriot ought to make clear the exact significance of the | Franco-British accord, saying that thus | far there havé been too many glittering | generalities about it. The newspaper’s own interpretation of | the much-discussed agreement was that it did not seem to be a renewal of the !entente cordiale, but rather a sort of | consultative union under British aus- | plces. | Yesterday's officially sponsored state- | ment that it would be absurd to con- tend that, under the accord. Britain | had no right to make a new debt ar- rangement with the United States with- out consulting France, failed to put an end to discussion of the agreement with the London government. | Hoover Letter Attacked. There also was comment on Presi- | dent Hoover's letter to Senator William | E. Borah in which the President said the United States would not be influ- enced on the debt question by any | united front of Europe. “Thus spake Napoleon, Willlam I and Zarathrusta!” declared Jacques Bain- ville in L'Action Francaise. “President Hoover led his country to ruln while predicting prosperity,” said Emile Bure in L'Ordre. “Shall we con- tinue to accept him as a guide?” Meanwhile official circles gave im- portance to M. Herriot's speech to the | Senate yesterday as throwing light on the reparations agreement, the “gentle- men’s agreement” and the Franco-Brit- ish accord. ‘The semi-official text of the speech as available to Le Temps tonight showed that Herriot had this to say about the reparations agreement: “At Lausanne there arose the ques- tion of the association of credits against Germany and debts due the United States. In supporting this principle we believe we voiced the profound con- viction of the French people, who be- lieve they should not pay more to their creditors than they receive from their debtors.” After explaining that the accord*was achieved on this principle, the premier said the “gentlemen’s agreement” indi- cates how Germany's creditors expect to proceed with regard to possible accord with the United States. Hinges on U. S. Accord. “If the accord with the United States seems satisfactory to America’s debt- ors,” the premier went on, “the Lau- sanne agreement will become defini- ve.” I Referring to the Franco-British ac- cord, the premier told this to the Sen- ate: “It affirms the will of France and Great Britain ‘to continue in the in- terests of the two countries, and the entire world the cordial col- laboration which gave such happy re- su'ts at Lausanne. The agreement contains nothing which hits anybody, but merely expresses the ambition {0 continue to labor for the common good of all in friendly co-operation.” Premier Herriot was again called upon in the chamber tonight to fur- nish an explanation of the Lausanne negotiatiors. “One thing is certain,” he said. “the Lausanne agreement is provisional and won't be definite until Germany's cred- itors have obtained for themselves sat- isfactory results.” . Deputy Msrin criticized the Lau- sanne negotiations with the statement that the® private credits that Ger- many owes in London and New York will be unfrezen before reparations have been paid.

President Hoover was in his study at the White House during the demon- stration, awaiting an opportunity to go to the Capitol to sign bills passed in the closing hours of Congress. About 10:30 . o'clock, however, announcement was made that the President had aban- doned his pidns and would remain in the White House. He retired at 11:30, Just after Congress adjourned. Change Brings Surprise. The announcement of the cancella- tion of the President’s plans came as a surprise, as his automobile and those of his secretaries and secret rerv- ice men had been waiting at the front portico since 8 o'clock. One of Mr. Hoover's secretaries, however, insisted that the presence of the bonus marchers in the vicinity of the White House had not influenced the change in plans. “The President’s only reason for ‘wanting to go personally to the Capi- tol.” the secretary explained, “was to sign the home loan bank bill, in which he was deeply interested. But when the hour grew late and Congress had not adjourned, he was informed there would be no necessity for his trip to the Capitol.” As soon as the 100 veterans ap- proached the White House, the big iron gates were closed for the first time since the demonstration of the so- called “hunger marchers” last Decem- A few moments later approxi- mately 100 policemen surrounded the White House, augmenting the regular White House force, which remained in- side the grounds.
