LONDON. November a2-In his ad-
dress before the reichstag today.
Chancellor Stresemann is quoted by
agency dispatches from Berlin as de-
claring that his government would
relinquish office IL it were considered
necessary and that he hoped the
reichstag would make up its mind
quickly in order that he might know
whether he should continue.
He declared that Germany's in
ternal position was hopeless and, so
far as he could see. there was not
the slightest prospect of effecting i'm
provement
France had expressed fear of seri-
Gus German developments arising
from recent incidents, but he could
assure France that any developments
that might occur would be due en-
tirely to France herself.
The communist deputies constantly
interrupted the chancellor.
DR.. Stresemann said that despite
Germany's serious position, efforts
would be made to continue negotia-
C.
man government desired to leave no
stone unturned in its efforts to effect
an agreement and Improvement in
the situation
The reichstag. however, must not be
led away by the idea that conces-
sfons to France would do much to
help Germany. The reich was in too
weak condition to force counter
concessions from France.
Sees Ruin in Ruhr.
Germany will bleed to death over
the Rhine and Ruhr if the wound is
forcible kept open by France" he
said. The declaration by France
that our help to the hungry Germans
in the Ruhr constitutes continuance
of passive resistance is untrue; it is
shameful"
If Germany permitted France to
take coal, not for repara uons, but
for other purposes. then Germany
would be acknowledging the justice
of the Ruhr occupat ton. Germany
had had one creditor, but the whole
entente. 1t was not right, therefore,
that only one should pocket the
money.
As to Germany's internal condition,
1t could only be improved by intro
duCing longer working days.
DIR. Stresemann was literally ap-
plauded by the three government
parties. but their combined vote is
insufficient to give him a majority
vote.
The reicEstag was heavily pioketed
with security police in order to pre-
vent the entry of the communist
deputy Remmele, who was barred
from the session in the consequence
of his obstructive tactics yesterday.

Talks of Business.
My talk with Mr.. Ford, the
strangest mass of economic phe-
nomena in American life, was pri-
marily about business and the trade
outlook for 1924.
The man whose political intcn-
tions have doomed up as the great
question mark in the Forthcoming
contest to choose a new chief execu-
tive suddenly switched from bust
ness to politics.
This financial hereto, who 10 pos
sibly the richest individual in the
world, said that the outlook for
business in the United States was
''fine." He granted, of course, that
next year was to be a presidential
year and that that might cause
some uncertainty among business
men.
THAT can be eliminated, how

Before being taken into Mr..
Ford's simple offices I heard from

publicity adviser to the famous

tive in unmistakable language in
dictated to me that Mr.. Ford was
not and had no intention of beconA
ing a candidate for the Presidency.
On this question 1 can do no more
than report what Mr.. Ford and his
spokesman said. Mr.. Ford's bust
ness plans for 1924 indicate that he
intends to concentrate on running
his money-making enterprise. After
uuizzing the mechanic who has be-
come leading national figure
along commercial lines, asked
bluntly what ultimately he hoped to
