yright 1932 by United Press) RIS. July 30. ( UP)—America have no fear that a European has been formed to drive a barwith the United States on payof war debts, Premier Edouard iot said today in an exclusive inw with the United Press. French premier consented to the clouds of misunderstanding h have hovered over the Lau ie reparations settlement and supnental agreements as they affect
the United States. Tn doing so, he said:
j. The impression that France has an agreement to act jointly with Britainiin dealing with war debts owed the United States is false. 2. The Lausanne settlement is pro- | ▼iaional within the framework of a world settlement of the question of
intei utional debts.
8. So far as Herriott is concerned, no further move will be made regard lag the debt situation until after the p|f*idential election in the United
Mite
In his office at the Quai d’Orsay wh»re the walls are hung with costly tofot-tries, Herriott himself offered a contrast with the gold and crystal at mo|phore. He is sturdy and vigorous, o plain French citizen who puffed on his pipe as he spoke with earnestness to the writer and h Heinzen, manager of the
d Press bureau in Paris,
rnott was informed that many Scting reports regarding the inna agreement had been circuabroad ami that the impression ailed in some quarters that France had an agreement with BritOin to act jointly in dealing with the
thlite 1 States on war debts.
merica has no need to fear a opean bloc to drive such a bar in, the premier replied with great ipbasis, deploring the fal.-e statefits attributed to him He emphathat there j# no such agreement
Jween Britain and T rance.
-jahr so-called “gentleman’s agrremfci at Lausanne, he explained, was nothing more than an understanding
that the reparations settlement would south,

fThere is no agreement or underinding. he emphasizes, that Fiance Jd Britain shall pie ent a united font to the United StaU s or that a hbt agreement may not he made between Britain and the United States

■ fTo make himself clear, the premier iMked his secretary to bring a copy of the Journal Officiel, displaying the itatement he m ule to the Chamber
of Deputie- on the matter.
“This is my statement," he said, | , tapping the newspaper. "It is simply to specify exactly what the gentleman’s agreement is. It says: ‘The Laosanne settlement is conditional.

statements."
i Herriott said that, so far as he is I concerned, no further move will be made legal ling the debt situation until after the United States presi-
dential election.
He explained in vigorou.- language that thi feeling that European na tions are presenting the United States with an “accomplished fact" on the debts, is based on misconception. The (Continued on Page Two)

WASHINGTON, July 30 (UP!— (ieneral Douglas McCarthur, chief of staff of the army, today ordered the complete withdrawal of all troops from the District of Columbia. The order is effective at one P. M. EST. WASHINGTON, July 30 (UP)— Police cleared stragglers of the bonuarmy out of Washington today to complete the route of thousands who fled before gas, torches and bayonets in the hands of federal troops. Police estimated at 7 a. m. that about 400 men had been rounded up and escorted out of the, city Walter W. Waters, erstwhile commander of the honu.- army, appealed to the few remaining veterans to leave the city
by noon.
Thou.-ands of veterans were being speeded across Maryland in trucks, school buses and automobiles pre.sed into service by state authorities. Others were crawling along in their own delapidated automobiles. Many were headed toward Johnstown, Pa , where Bonus Commander W liter Waters hope- to reorganize his retieating forces. Police combed the parks for strag - glers Vagrant.- who had been identified with the bonus army were caught in the drive. All who could not show means of support were being e.-corted to the District of Colum-
bia borders.
A few destitute and stranded fam- ; ilies were given temporary aid by piivate families who let them sleep on lawns. For the time, they were safe there from the “mop up" tarn paign of the police The Re<i Croas announced it would provide transportation home for women and children. Hut many of the families had no homes to return to. Early today squad- "f police in deployed formation marched through the spacious Washington monument grounds in which a number of veterans had taken refug" They poked into the shrubbery with flashlight*, dragged out the .tiagglfM, dumped them in patrol wagons and -ent them on their way. Otiier parks and public property were bring ileared in similar fashion District authorities in acting to complete th" i nation of the b>nus army were spurred by a letter from President Hoover who iid he expect rd "the polite t" trictly enfor e every ordinance of the district in every part
of the city."
At Mr. Hoover's dire tion. local ind federal authoritie also were investigating alleged ■ o ■ mum.-t agitators.
