IHerriot today that he wouid arrive in Paris tomorrow afternoon to censer with him regarding the proposed inter-Allied Conference in London next week. The Premier’s teiegram to this effect took the political world by sur- prise, all the more so in view of the fact that M. Herriot has an appoint- ment temorrow to reply to interpella- tions in the Senate on the very sab- jeet Mr. Mae Donald is coming to dis- cuss. The Foreign Office declines to comment on the sudden decisicn of the British Premier to come to Paris, Officials refused to say whether it was on his cwn initiative, or in respunse to an invitation from his Irench col- league. The latter sopposition is regar- ded in political quartcrs as the more pro- hable, since M. Herriot is the most in- terested party in the incident of the me- morandum which accompanied the Brit- ish invitation to the conference, as that incidert is likely to bring on an attack in the Senate from the Opposition.
