ENGLISH PAPER TELLS
OF PLAN OF BERLIN
LONDON, June 21.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press. )-Developments of
great Importance are impending in
Franco German relations says an
article printed in the Daily Tele-
graph today. The writer asserts
that the German government has
taken practical steps to determine u
method which, without prejudicing
the position of Great Britain, would
lead to direct conversations between
Paris and Berlin. The neutral coun-
tries of central Europe, he adds, are
being used as bases from which feel
ers to this end are going out.
The writer represents the German
government as especially anxious
because it sees that it's policy in the
Ruhr is gradually slipping from it's
control.
The problem of passive resistance,
he continued, may be boiled down
practically to a question of reinstat-
ing the expelled German officials,
Berlin insisting upon such a step
and Paris as firmly refusing. At the
present stage, the conversations
threaten to break down on this
point, says the article.
