NEW SITUATION

London, Aug. 13.-(By the Associats
ed Press)-The British note to
France and Belgium in which the Bald
win government says it regards the
Ruhr occupation as illegal under the
Versailles treaty but it is willing to
submit the point to arbitration has
made a very deep impression here.
For the most part 10 is regarded a.
creating new situation which may
have serious developments. Even
where the government action is used
the plain-spoken phraseology of the
note caused astonishment, although
that astonishment was mingled with
satisfaction that the government used
language which the Commentators en-
dorsed.
Among those who opposed the line
the government has taken there is ex-
citement, ange., even alarm and the
position is declared to be one of
grave crisis.

BRITAIN'S NOTE

-
London, Aug. 1S.-(By the A. P.)
The British government, in the
publication Sunday, of its official
correspondence with the allies
since June placed on record its po-
sition with regard to the German
reparatiQns problem.
Lord CurzOn, secretary for for
eign affairs in an elaborate note
dealing with all the manifest
phases of the situation sets forth
that the British government re-
CARDS the occupation of the Ruhr
as illegal and unauthorized by the
Versailles treaty. thus supporting
the German contention in this re-
spect. At the same time he offers
to submit the question for arbitra-
tion at The Hague Of some other
body.
While adhering in tone to utmost
courtesy and saying nothing def
mite as to separate action on the
part of Great Britain. Lonrd Cur
zOn emphasizes that Great Britain
cannot agree with the French pol
icy which says seems plainly to
point to an indefinite occupation
of the Ruhr.
Leaves It TO French
Lord Curz0n still leaves 1t to the
French government to suggest the
method of selecting an interna-
tional commission to examine in
to Germany's capacity to pay
reparations but he plainly declares
that Great Britain cannot accept
the decision of the reparations
commission on this matter since
that commission has become the
mere instrument Of Franco Belgian
policy.
Finally Lord Curzon declared
that the British government still
adheres to the plan of Bonar Law
under which Great Britain would
be satisfied to obtain from German
reparations and allied debt to
Great Britain a sufficient sum to
meet Great Britaih's obligations to
the United States.
The present situation In the
Ruhr, he says constitutes a grave
economical and political crisis
which is having q noticeable effect
on trade.
The communication declares that
Great Britain would be willing to
have representatives of the United
States and Germany on the board
to inquire into the rights aspect
but that the reparations commits
sion being preponderably Franco
Belgian would hardly be competent
to act.
AS to the legality Of the Ruhr
occupation the note declares that
the British government has been
informed by its most competent le-
ga authorities that the occupation
ta not authorized under any sAncl
ton contained In the Versailles
treaty.
