Berlin. Jan. 9. — More than eight
* * years ago Richard Harding Paris, the
L famous correspondent, gave a vivid de
scription of the inarch of the German
troops in field grey through Brussels.
This picture made an impression which
many Germans have boon unable to
forget and it is recalled now when
I French troops threaten to invade the
i basin of the Ruhr river. Several news- ।
papers recall the invasion of Belgium in I
1014, without warning and compart
it with the prospective seizure of Es
. sen with its Krupp Works and coni and
“ ore mines ami of Bochum with its
g great steel works.
“But should we not be thankful."
"* asks one newspaper, that this occupa
tion is taking place without the roar
ing of guns, the booming of explosions
•= from airplanes and the cries of wounded
and dying? The German people are
suffering much, but it could be worse.”
The inactive position which the Ger
man government has taken so far in
connection with the impending French
move has bewildered the people and sur
prise among American and Allied dip
. iomats here. The only official an
nouncement from the foreign office is
the following:
“The government is aware of the
grave steps contemplated by the French.
If France insists on carrying ont her
plans the German government will ac
• ept all the consequences.”
This rather cryptic statement, trans
lated into plain English, means that
• government is completely “up in the
air’ and has not yet decided upon any
• definite move. All that has been done
~ so far is to arrange at the eleventh hour
in the foreign office for a tourist agency
• trip through the Ruhr district by Amer
' iean and British newspaper men.

and placed it tinder the jurisdiction

question could well have been handled
by the commission in view of the cir
cumstances surrounding the delivery of
coal bv Germany last year.
Roland W. Boyden. American repre
sentative with the commission, made a
brief statement, pointing out that be
was expressing his personal sentiments,
It was learned authoritatively that
he took the view that, while a default
actually existed in German coal deliv
eries for 1922, the conditions under
v.hich the default occurred were such
that it required special consideration.
He declared the sum total of deliv
eries in kind by Germany, including
coal, were too great a burden upon
her. it is understood.
The present default in coal, ho
thought, should have been considered
from this point of view.

Traditional Friendship of France and
America at lowest Ebb.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1123.
Washington. D. C.. Jan. 9.—At no
time perhaps in American History has
the traditional friendship between
France ri d the Vnited States sunk to
as low an ebb as today.
Disapuointmedb and chagi.’n over the
French determination to occupy ths
Ruhr, in spite of the mild but explicit
protestations of the United States gov
ernment. is unmistakable. Opinion in
rovernment circles is practically unani
mous that France is making a mistake
not merely in her own situation, but
l mistake of serious consequence to the
whole world.
Yet the official attitude is that the
United States government and the other
rovernmiuts associated in the war
tgainst Germany have no legal right to
interference, and that the provision of
:he Versailles treaty permits France Io
■xact penalties whenever Germany is in
lefault of reparations payment.
Irrespective of parties, the cne
bought is that France should have com
promised before applying drastic mea
-ures. But if the feeling toward Franco
is one of coolness, it cannot be said
:hat there is an increasing warmth to
ward Germany. There is no enthus
asm over America’s being placed in the
Position of morally supporting the Ger
man cry c.f inability to pay.

So far as the American government is

Imndon. Jan. 9.—Any hope that
France might change her policy at the
last moment and desist from occupa
tion of the Ruhr basin disappeared to
day.
In official circles no signs appear of
any change in the British altitude. Ac

though she manages to extract i.om
Germany some small profit as the re
