PARIS TO LIFT
RUHR TRADE SNAGS
Has Sent Officials to Clear
Up Difficulties
HEEDs AMERICAN PROTESTS
To Facilitate Exports-Deelares Aim
Is To Prevent Shipments From
Occupied Zone To unoe-
cupied Germany.

Washington.--Amb Herrick
cabled the State Department that the
French Foreign ofice had sent one Of
its officials into the occupied German
territory to investigate difficulties be
tween foreign commercial interests
and the French and German authori-
ties in obtaining deliveries on ship
ments.
"The French Foreign Office" Am
bassador Herrick reported, "disclaims
any intention of sefzing manufactured
metallurgical products in the Ruhr.
but states that the French Govern
ment has prohibited the export of such
products into unoccupied Germany.
The Foreign Office also states that
Rhine traffic in transit through oc-
cupied Germany is entirely free"
In a paraphrased statement made
public by the State Department it was
added that Mr.. Herriok also had been
informed by the French Foreign ONCE
that the chief of the Bureau of Com
mercial Relations Of the Foreign Of
flee "has been sent to the occupied
regions in order to straighten out and
simplify any difficulties experienced
by foreign commercial interests in OBJ
tanning shipments from occupied Ger
many"
The State Department also made
public a digest OF an informal com.
munication received from the French
Embassy, which said a French off,
ciai had been sent from Paris to Dues
seldorf 'to set up with the proper
departments of those territories a
uniform and very broad system Of
rules which will bring complaints
from the foreign trade to an end, and
allow foreign trade every facility con-
sistent with the rule set up in the oc-
cupied territory"
"The object" the statement said.
lis to prevent certain products in
transit over the occupied territories
from being assessed twice for Gus
toms or export duties. The rules gov
erning contracts already executed and
fully paid for in good faith must be
definitely established"
The French Embassy told the de-
partment 1t was expected that the ar
rangements made by the Foreign Of
fee would make it possible to dis
pose of the American complaints, in
particular, relating to export of metal
lurgical products from the Ruhr."
The statement added that the
French Government was "powerIess
against the German exporter who will
not apply for the export license" and
pointed out in such cases that "it
would behoove the foreign Govern.
ment to ask the German Government
to force upon the German firms com
pliance with the license rules"
When the licenses are applied
for" the State Department was in
formed, "The French Government will
extend every facility for the shipment
of the goods"
