PARlS, January l1.-Evideuce Of
resistance by the German government
to the French plans for the Ruhr has
raised the question of what Franco
may do If she encounters systematic
passive obstruction. Economists and
engineers are agreed that the district
cannot be made productive without
German cooperation unless the allies
undertake the reorganization of the
entire economic life of the region.
The first essential, 1t is believed, is to
furnish the valley with working capital.
as 1t is regarded that Berlin will nat
urally withdraw funds IL she adopts a
policy of obstruction. This raises the
question whether IL would be possible

opinion that this could be done, as in

The Germans, II is believed in ofTlcia!
circles, will not allow obstructionist tac-
tics TO go 30 far as TO provoke such a
measure because they are already wor-
rieo over the effect produced by the use
OF the franc in the Saar, where the
population is enjoying the advantages
offered by French money.
The French government. il is de-
cIared. Is determined to avoid any step

the Rshr. The effect of such a policy
Is already seen througout that part
OF the Rhtneland occupied by the
french, who are accused in conse-
quence of trying to prepare the
ground for a permanent close con
nectlon between France and the
Rhine territory. There has never been
any secret that France desires TO de-
tach the Rhineland from Germany.
although there are many political
reasons against annexation.
An economic union, it is thought
would nevertheless be possible and
1T might be made probable by any
action Germany should take requiring
the allies to undertake exploitation of
the territory.
The French government will take
up the question Of eventual economic
exploitation with Belgium and Italy
IL II becomes apparent that the Ger
mans will not facilitate application in
the Ruhr of the measures decided
upon.

ESSEN, January 11.-A sample of
the political electricity surcharging
the atmosphere here is found in last
nights disturbance, when about 5000
Essen citizens stcrmed the doors OF
the Kaiserholf, the city's leading hotel,
demanding the expulsion OF the
French commission which the crowd
believed was lodging there. The man
agement's assurance that not a
Frenchman was in the house were
unsatisfactory. especially In view of
the fact that Hover pot tnoppor-
tunely fell from an upstairs window
among the demonstrators. Scores Of
persons swarmed into the building,
but DR.. Hans Luther, former burgo-
master of Essen, and now minister Of
1000 In the Cuno cabinet, appeared on
the scene in time to prevent more
serious consequences. DIR. Luther is
temporarily in the city. .---
g Pleads for support.
DR.. Luther. when the disturbance
began, had just begun to read an ad-
dress to the foreign correspondents
gathered at the Kaiserhof Hotel, In
which he made plea for moral sup
port Tor Germany in the issue raised
by France.
The occupation of the Ruhr, he said,
would be a violation of the rights OF
humanity as well as of the treaty of
Versailles. He cited instances of
acute distress among the people to
refute the French charge that Ger
many Is able but unwilling to pay.
Mass Meeting Protests
In the course of the interview, Dr.
Luther mentioned that he had Just
come from the largest mass meeting
ever held in Essen, at which citizens
of all political creeds, with the excep-
tion Of the communists, had protested
against the French occupation. He
read a copy of a resolution adopted
at this meeting. It was addressed to
the German ambassadors to Great
Britain and the United States, and
called attention to the alleged IL
legality of the French procedure.
The resolution asked America and
Great Britain to come to the moral
aid of Germany. 1t further asserted
that the French policy spelled perpetua-
ton of hatred between the French and
German peoples and constituted a
most serious danger to world peace.
Appeals to Mob.
In the crowd outside the hotel were
many of the persons who had adopted
the resolution at. the meeting Earlier
obliged to appeal to the gathering
iHIpassionately in order to Induce It
to dtsperse.
He was very noticeably disappointed
when informed of the American gov
ernment's order Withdrawing its
troops from the Rhine.
THAT is the worst possible news we
could receive" he said. why in the
world doesn't America support US in
this?"

of the treaty between Greece and
Serbia pledging the support of either

not based upon this failure to fulfil

dismissals Of Greek parliaments and to

of German submarine bases in Greek

Country Should Take
Definite Stand.
Special Dispatch to The star.

special Dispatch to The star
PHILADELPHIA, January IA
demand that the administration take
steps to aid in the economic readjust-
ments necessary to save Europe was
made In a speech delivered here last
night by Senator Pat Harrison of
Mississippi, democrat, at a Jackson
day dinner.
Speaking not as a pessimist." said
Senator Harrison, but as one who
has the interests of this country and
humanity as a whole at heart. let me
express the hope that the present ad-
ministration will put a stop to its un-
certain European foreign policy, and
that 1t will take a stand to help in
the restoration of normal conditions
and a better relationship between the
peoples abroad.
The whole world is crying for our
leadership; a greater opportunity to
serve humanity and to assist in the
adjustment of large problems be-
tween countries was never offered to
a people than is now presented TO
us. We cannot afford to remain either
Quiescent or disinterested. The emer-
gency Is here and the American peo-
pie, without respect to political par
ties, are now aroused and are demand
ing dCIlOR SOm6 pOllCy mh6L DC
adopted. Longer delay will not be
countenanced. The welfare of every
interest and every business in this
country depends upon II. and past
differences over political questions
must be forgotten in the necessity
OF the hour.
How apparent to all it is now that
if the questions affecting reparations,
as contended for by President Wood
row Wilson at Versailles. had been
ing the allied countries these threat
ened dangers Of arrangement from
war would have been averted. If the
far seeing wisdom displayed by him
in that conference had been followed
by others of his conferees, European
economic chaos and world delirium
would not today be challenging the
attention OF all business men and
statesmen.
1T is to the honor Of the demo-
cratic party that its representatives
in Congress. since the present admin
istration assumed control. have issued
no round robins and taken no action
that would lead to embarrassment In
the present administration's dealings
with foreign countries. We have in
every instance co-operated and walt
ed with prayerful hopes for more op-
portunities, that we might cooperate
for the good of the country and the
welfare of the world"

Jackson and Woodrow Wilson, de-

confident the increases will be re-
tanned by the Senate.
For street cleaning and dust pre-
vention, which is handled jointly with
city refuse collection by Supt. Nor
ris Hacker, the current allotment is

More Money Provided.
For collection OF garbage and mis-
cellaneous refuse the House increased
the present appropriation of s750,o0o
to Ss25.0O0.
While that is not all the Commits
sioners wanted, they are gratifed at
the knowledge that the House grant
ed at least a partial increase The
original estimates called for $s60,000
for refuse collection, and the budget
bureau cut that figure to $4,000.
