House of Commons
Greatly Disturbed
Over Ruhr Situation

London. March 13. (By A. P.)-Af-
fairs in the Ruhr occupied the at
tention of the House of Commons
durin gtlc greater part of today'S
sitting.
Ronald Mcneil. under secretary
OF state for foreign affairs, was the
only spoke 3man for the government.
He merely reiterated, in reply to
strong criticisms that the ministers
policy remained as outlined by Prime
Minister Bonar Law in his last
statement, and the House supported
the ministry by rejecting. 249 to pol,
a motion by Sir John Simon. Lib
cral. designed to call attention TO
the recent events in the Ruhr.
1t is noteworthy. however that
this majority of As is far below the
governments normal majority in the
House. Sri John and his supporters
complained bitterly of the govern
ments propensity TO wait on events
while the British forces on the Rhine
were cmplctely surrounded and Brit
ism trade vas suffering.
The savage outbreaks at Euer, he
declared, constituted a warning OF
the danger Of allowing the policy to
drift to go too far He urged an APP
peal TO the League Of Nations.
Former Premier Asquitb. support
ing Simon. argued that there has
been a vital change in the situation.
The scope Of the French operations
had been enormously extended and
there seemed no reason why the
French should not advance to Munich
and even to Berlin. What had the
government to say about it. he asked.
IL was a sovereign opportunity 10
bring the League OF Nations int
operation.
Mr.. Mcneil feared that the first
result Of referring the matter to the
League Of Nations under the existing
circumstances would be to smash
the League. and he reminded the
House that France had rejected any
idea Of mediation, while there had
been no response from AMERICA to
suggestions that she help in solving
the problem

Washington Intimates
No Reductions in
Rhine Army Claims

Washington, March 13-Plain IN
timations that the Washington gov
eminent would be unwilling to &C
cept any reduction in the amount of
its claims growing out OF the Rhine
occupation. totalling about S250.000,-
600. We're given today by administra-
ton spokesman.
While the amount Of the reduction
in the American claims, which a pro-
posal submitted by Allied representa-
tives in Paris suggested should be
made by allowing for German ships
sold and retained by the United
States would not exceed Sl6.OOo.ooo.
according to the belief OF officials
here it was made clear that this
country had never entered claims for
general reparations by Germany and
should not in justice be called upon
to pool the ships seized during the
war and apply their value against
the army costs particularly since the
Allied governments had not seen ht
to do likewise.
The proposal still was under con-
sideration tonight by State Depart
ment officials.
