German Note to England Ex-
presses Willingness to Then
Pay on Debt.
By DAVID NJ. CHURCH.
International News Services,

LONDON, July 2o.-The Ger
man embassy was instructed To-
day to inform the British that the
Berlin government cannot order
cessation Of passive resistance in
the Ruhr unless French evacuation
is guaranteed by the allies.
Expects Evacuation.
Germany suggested that, IL the
June reparations offer of the Berlin
government was accepted, mort
cages" guaranteeing indemnity pay
ments would be delivered within six
weeks. However, Berlin would ex'
pect evacuation by French and Bel
gian troops to commence as soon as
the mortgages were delivered.
There was another meeting of the
cabinet at noon when the British
reparations note "oain was consid-
cred. e
Premier Stanley Baldwin was
hopeful that the draft of the British
note could be finished up today.
There has been continuous exchanges
of views between the British for
eign office and Comte st. Aulier,
the French ambassador in the past
few days. The French are showing
more willingness for concessions
than at any time since the Ruhr
was occupied last January.
French Not Satisfied.
Up to the present, however, the
French concessions have not met
the demands made by Germany as
conditions for cessation Of passive
resistance.
The Germans want restoration OF
civil authority in the Ruhr but the
French insist on remaining in the
former of invisible occupaton'
until the reparations payments are
started.
The continued delay in the send
ing of the British note Is due t.
desire to couch it in such terms
as will induce France to enter int
united reply to Germany's repara
tons offer of last June.
Comte st. Aulaiere, the French
ambassador will go to Paris soor
to confer with Premier Poincare
on the reparations problem.
1t was learned at the foreign OF
flee that The British note does no
bring up the question Of the allie,
debts.
The main object of the note, 1
was stated. is to bring the states
men together about the roun,

Element satisfactory to all.
