Firstconferences in Paris with Premier Edouard Herriot again visibly discouraged Scot MacDonald, but gradually the two statesmen felt their way back to that amicable ground on which they stood in 1924. Shoulder to shoulder then, they made possible the Dawes Plan which, though it failed, was better than no plan and marked a first step toward solving the same old problems that faced M. Herriot and Mr. MacDonald last week. After a three-hour conference and a formal luncheon, the two statesmen motored out to Versailles, wandered together around Queen Marie Antoinette's "Play Village," had tea with Socialite...
James Ramsay MacDonald, glowing inspirer of many a conference, received a cold douche shortly before he left London, was visited at No. 10 Downing St. by intense, teacherish President Eamon de Valera of the Irish Free State.

S. to relinquish its right to repayment of the Allied War Debts...

S. archdiocese, were not represented by its Archbishop. With him went rich Papal Marquis George MacDonald. Depression and distrust of Irish political conditions had reduced the numbers of visitors hoped for, but at least 200,000 were expected from all parts of the world. Among these would be 33 archbishops (including St. Louis' Glennon, San Francisco's Auxiliary Archbishop Mitty), 158 bishops, eight assistant...
