R'UGBY, Monday. Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, accoriipanied by Sir Jobn Simon, Secretary for State, left Lohdon tbis morning for Paris. They will be the guests of the French Prime Minister, M. Herriot, at dinner this evening, when a discussion, which will be continued tomorrow on the questions awaiting consideration at the conferences at Lausanne and Geneva, will be opened. A consultation with the French Government will follow. There will be a further excbange of views between the British Prime Minister and the new Foreign Minister of Germany, Baron von Neurath. * The conversations must in the nature of things be purely preliminary. The Times says: "Foi1 reasons which are disappointingly inconclusive, the Government of the United States is taking no part in the Lausanne Conference, and the immediate business of the British and French Governments at the Paris meeting on Sun day is to discover as between themselves what measure of legal caneellation is possihle." Special points to be raised by M. Herriot in the Anglo-French » coiiversations were discussed at yesterday's meeting 'of the French Cahinet. Later, according to the Paris correspondent of ' th'e News-Chronicle, M. Herriot said as the British and French viewpoints are stated at present, there is very little difference between them. During their Paris visit the British Ministers will stay at the British Embassy. The time of their departure for Switzerland is not yet definitely fixed, but it is anticipated they will leave early next week, visiting Geneva on the way to Lausanne, where the Reparations Conference will open on Thursday. The other British delegates for Lausanne, Sir Herbert Samuel (Secretary of State for Home Affairs), Mr. Neville Chamberlain (Chancellor of the Exchequer), and Mr. W. Runciman (President of the Board of Trade) are to leave London on Tuesday.
