Herriot Wins Home Approval for London Agreement
Berlin reports Premier Herriot secured favorable support in the Chamber of Deputies for the London Agreement after a lengthy declaration. The vote 320 to 209 defeated a motion to refer the accord to a commission, with the understanding Herriot would sign first and Parliament debate ratification later. The plan shifts reparations to an economic framework, aiming for France’s gains and practical settlement rather than punitive measures.
