INTENSE SATISFACTION IN BRITAIN
ANNOUNCEMENT IN HOUSE OF COMMONS. British Official Wireless RUGBY, July 8. The settlement of the reparations problem, the existence of which has been one of the chief disturbing factors of the political and economic recovery of Europe since the war, was reached at Lausanne to-day. The news was received here with intense satisfaction, particularly in view of the prominent part taken by the British Prime Minister, in the prolonged negotiations during the past few clays. The heartening news was immediately communicated to the House of Commons by the Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas, who interrupted the Irish debate, tomake the announcement that had first been conveyed to the Government in a telephone message from the Prime Minister at Lausanne. Intense enthusiasm prevailed. Mr Neville Chamberlain is leaving Lausanne to-night, and will arrive in London to-morrow afternoon. The Prime Minister is expected to reach London on Sunday afternoon.
