BRITISH DEMAND END
OF RUHR OCCUPATION
EngIand's Premier Outlines
New Policy Amid Thunder
Ing Applause,
BIZ United Press

BY United Press
LONDON, July 12.-Great
Britain, through Premier Bald
win in Commons and Marquis
Curzon in Lords today, demand
ed occupation of the Ruhr come
to an end, and that the allies
unite in fixing a fair amount for
reparations and asking Ger
many to pay it.
This was the zist of the long await
ed statement Of British policy toward
the reparations problem. Stanley
Baldwin was cheered to the echo as
he pleaded for allied cooperation as
we'll as an end of the Ruhr venture.
A break with France is considered
averted If the French government re-
turns a favorable answer.
THE essential factors of settlement
of Europe's Ills" Baldwin told a
crowded house, are:
Il. Payment of reparations
"2. Settlement Of inter-allied debts.
80. Security of Europe"
Italy With England
Italy, the prime minister said is
understood to be IN agreement with
Britain on these points.
Referring to the last German repa-
rations offer. Baldwin said that
whether the late enemies offer was
adequate or not. should not be ig-
Eored but should be examined to dis
cover If there were any possibility of
progress.
Our proposals have no other aim
than pacif1cation of Europe and the
recovery of an exhausted world
Baldwin declared, while Commons
cheered.
German Note Answered
A British reply to the latest Ger
man note, he said, is to be for
warded forthwith. 1t will be first
submitted to the allies. however, in
the hope of securing joint action.
This will be the chance for France
and. Belgium to renew the bonds Of
the entente.
Unity of action, cooperation by the
allies, is a vital necessity, Baldwin
declared.
Germany, he said, is rapidly ap-
preaching economic chaos which may
we'll be succeeded by social and in
dustrial ruin. In the meanwhile gen.
uine apprehension exists as to food
shortage conditions, which are caus-
ing serious alarm TO Great Britain.
