GERMAN AND FRENCH YIEWS. BY cable— press association—copyright (Received Aug. 23. 11.5 a.m.) BERLIN, Aug. 22. After sitting for several hours the German People’s Party in the Reichstag unanimously decided to accept the decision of the London Conference, despite the burdens imposed on Germany, but uddod that it was the duty of the Government to clear up the diplomatic situation by all means in its power. The German National Party in the Reichstag unanimously decided to adhere to the resolution of July 22, demanding the immediate evacuation of t|)e Ruhr and the restoration of the German rnihvnvs.

r PARIS, Aug. 22. The Chamber has begun the debate on M. Harriot’s statement. Although there is no doubt the Premier will obtain a substantial majority, there is a prospect of a series of long speeches in the Chamber and Senate. Thus the discussion will probably not end before the middle of next week at the earliest.

M. Herriott stated that Mr MacDonald’tf letter regarding the evacuation of the Ruhr was handed him in R e £°re the pact concluded, before Mr MacDonald’s speech, and before the Ruhr question was settled. The Premier pointed out that the Germans and French submitted their own yiewjioints on the. Ruhr question, and Mr MacDonald quite rightfully presented the British viewpoint; therefore it was unjust to interpret Mr MacDonald’s action as a wrongful'proceeding or a disavowal of the agreements reached in London.—Reuter.
