TO UNITED STATES
French Eager to Rush Troops
To Ruhr Valley
ENGLAND TO KEEP HANDS OFF
Adjournment OF Premier's Farley Re-
garded AS Only Postponement or
Inevitable Break Between
Great Britain And France.

Washington Dispatches from
Paris indicate that the French are
convinced that the breakup of the
Premiers' Conference leaves no other
alternative than the immediate occu-
patton of the Ruhr Valley by French
troops.
Leading Paris newspapers are de-
manding action and there seems to be
a general feeling of satisfaction that
the suspense due to prolonged negotia-
tions is now over and decisive action
is to be taken.
British and Italian fears that Ruhr
occupation will entail great expendi-
lures are not shared i'll France, where
the experiment in the Saar Valley has
shown increased production and better
prices.
In London, representatives of the
Allied nations are looking to the
United States to prevent a definite
break between England and France
following the collapse of the Premiers'
Conference.
Some observers believe the failure
of the parley will bring about the fall
Of Poncare, while others think his
refusal to bow to the British Will
strengthen him at home.
Bonar Laws speech in the House OF
Commons defining the British posi-
ton will be followed by an attack by
Lloyd George, who is said to be
chuckling because the new Premier
''tranuuillity" policy has been unable
to bring the French into line.

last hope of preventing definite
