BERLIN READY TO STOP
ALL ACRIVE RESISTANCE
Cuno Preparing Statement De-
precating Sabotage; Pope's
Warning Needed.

Berlin.-It was made certain that
the Government will issue a declara-
ton disassociating itself from acts of
violence in the Ruhr and openly con-
demning them as dangerous to Ger
many's cause and a source of interna-
tional misunderstanding.
That the Pope attributed great inn
portance to the question of sabotage
was seer from the third visit paid to
Chancellor Cuno by Monsignor Pacelli,
Papel Nuncio to Germany.
Great dissatisfaction prevails in par
liamentary circles, especially among
the Socialists over the Governments
failure to issue such a statement
weeks ago, their contention being that
the declaration now to be made will
lose considerable weight because it
will have been made upon the Vati-
cans urgent recommendation rather
than as a voluntary act.
In failing to make clear his stand on
sabotage in the Ruhr long before the
Pope's Intervention, it is learned that
DR.. Cuno ignored the advice Of Presi-
dent Ebert. The Vossiche Zeitung
strongly supporting the Pope's recon-
mendations on violence. compares the
active resistance in the Ruhr with
acts practised by Germans in America
during the war, which, the paper adds,
seriously undermined Germany's NOR
al position. The paper goes on to
demand something more from the Gov
eminent than a mere disavowal of the
responsibility for these acts, frank
and open condemnation of them"
Little hope of an early solution Of
the Ruhr crisis is seen here as the
diplomatic contest between London
and Paris is observed.
The metal workers in some Berlin
suburbs walked out as did several
thousand building trades workers,
who have refused to accept the arbi-
tration award Of $500 marks an hour,
demanding $4,000. The employers Of
fered 11,O00-1,000 less than the price
of a loaf of bread.
