 BY REPORTS FROM PERsIA

London. April s.-British official circles declare themselves not alarm ed at the reports that the Persian government had manifested a will ingness to conclude an understanding with the Russian Soviet government which in some quarters had been fn- terpreted as meaning that such negp- tiatlons might be a preface to mfli-, tary action which would menace Brit ish interests In Pershia.

GERMAN NOTE TO FRANCE
 CONCERNING RUHR REGION

Berlin, April 6.-The text of the note sent by the German government to France on April 2, published to- day, shows that Germany, after re- counting the negotiations concerning the Ruhr region. argued that it was impossible to delay an hour longer the sending of troops to restore order. This was the case, it was declared, because not only the Ruhr region but the whole economic life of Germany was threatened since the agreements reached in the Ruhr district for the restoration of order were useless, be- cause the insurgents who concluded these agreements with the govern ment representatives no longer pos- sessed the power to execute them.
 The German government therefore, expressed the view that it should wait no longer for the formal consent of the allies for the entry of German troops into the Ruhr district.
