•ITIE MACDONALD HERRIOT CONFERENCE. .THE MAIN POINTS. LONDON, June 25. Diplomatic writers and Paris correspondents emphasise two main points believed to have been discussed by M. Herriot and Mr. MacDonald. It is understood that M. Herriot favours the rapid commercialisation of the German debt through intejffiational money markets taking up various series of railway, industrial, and other bonds, as provided for in the Dawes’ report, and linking therewith the Ruhr evacuation, so that a proportion of French and Belgian troops may be withdrawn as each issue is disposed of. The ’other point emphasised is a mutual defence pact between England, France, Belgium, Italy, and possibly Czechoslovakia, pending a wider pact when Germany is admitted to the League of Nations. The Morning Post’s Paris correspondent affirms that these suggestions are embodied in an agreement to which Belgium is expected to assent. A significant rumour is current in Brussels that Mr. MacDonald telegraphed to M. Herriot saying that the protocol drafted at Chequers Court ought not to be published. British official circles, however, deny that Mr. MacDonald gave M. Herriot any written undertaking.
