FRANCE CONES
TO AGREEMENT
She viii Not Again Take lnde.
pendent Action .i#
DISCUSSED N BRITISH HOUSE
To Withdraw Troops soon-Invaders
Will BE Recalled Az Soon A.
Teutons Quit Ruhr
Area.

London.-The near-crisis affecting
the relations between France and Eng
land passed over Monday, when the
controversy growing out Of French oc'
cupation Of the German Rhine cities
was virtually closed with complete
and amicable understanding.
The situation was cleared away with
the receipt Of the second French note.
While not admitting responsibility for
any past actions, Premier Millerand
promises that no Independent action
will be taken in the future.
The occupied German towns will be
evacuated, the French Premier de.
clares. just as soon as the Germans
withdraw from the Ruhr.
Discussing the situation in the
House OF Commons Bonar Law de-
clared that both Governments recog.
nize the necessity of intimate, cordial
agreement, and expressed the opinion
that the approaching Allied confer
ence would undoubtedly consolidate a
complete understanding.
In the meantime Ambassador Derby,
in Paris, presented England's rejoind-
or to the French note so satisfactorily
received here, and reports from the
French capital were that French Off
cials also regarded the present Incl
dent as closed.
Foreign Minister Earl Curzon is
handling the French correspondence in
the absence Of Lloyd George, and at
the Foreign Office it was semi-oficially
pointed out that England's argument
with France hinged entirely on the ad-
visibility of Independent, rather than
cooperative, action on the part Of the
Allies, rather than showing any SYM
pathy for Germany.
With the passing Of the French in
cident, the international scene is now
shifted to San Reno, where the Allied
Premiers will meet. It is expected that
the Turkish, Austrian and Hungarian
treaties will first be taken up, and that
questions affecting Africa will be- set
tied before adjournment.
One of the chief remaining items of
interest with regard to the French oc-
cupation Of the Rhine is whether the
League of Nations Council will over
look Frances violation Of the COW
enant.
