ALLIES CONDEMN
FRENCH ACTION
Occupation of German Territory
Was Without Consent of
Other Powers

London, April G-After long con-
ference which the French ambassador
Paul Cambon had with Premier
Lloyd George today. and a i'!l dis
cussion Of the French-German Incl
dent by the cabinet council, at which
the French view was fully explained
TO the British ministers, an authori-
tative statement was issued to the cf-
feet that France acted entirely on her
own initiative in deciding to occupy
German towns; that Great Britain,
the United States, Italy and Belgium
were all opposed to the plan, and that
Frances action las caused a delicate
situation.
The matter is under discussion of
the British and French governments,
and the nope is expressed that the sit
uation may be eased.
The statement recites various Ok
pedients suggested for dealing with
the Ruhr situation, among others, the
sending Of Allied officers with tre
German troops to supervise the Ger
man withdrawal Another alternative
was that the decision should be left
with the German government, with
the stipulation that unless the status
QUO was sufficiently restored the Allies
themselves would occupy German
points to enforce their demands.
