Berlin, Sept. 12-(By A P.)-Tacit-
ly admitting that the Ruhr fight had
been lost and there could be no pros
peCt of the internal reconstruction of
Germany until the foreign conflict
had been adjusted, Chancellor
Stresemann tonight remarked to a
gathering of editors "Candor is pre-
ferable to illusion, and Germany de-
sires to speak out plainly"
Informal contact with the occupy
ing powers had revealed the gravity
of the existing differences, which, he
said. primarily involved the question
of German sovereignty and the re-
storatiOn to Germany of complete adj
ministratiVe freedom in the Ruhr.
The chancellor's speech did not
contain a direct reference to readi =
ness on the part of Germany to call
off passive resistance unconditional
ly, but presented a more precise for
mutation of the nature of the produc-
tive guarantees which Germany was
prepared to pledge for the security
of the reparation creditors.
These would comprise the hypo-
thecation of private holdings in in
dustry, commerce, finance and agri-
culture in such a manner as to in
sure their immediate fluidity as ac-
tive loanablc collateral.
Such security. said the chancellor.
would in every way be superior to
the pledges prescribed in the Yer
sailles treaty, which only enumerate
governmental properties, none of
which possess productiveness equal
ling that of private holdings which
Germany proposes to hypotheCate for
the benefit of reparations.

registered at the Chateau Frontenac
on the historic bluffs as THE Baron
of Renfue and retinue' and prepared
to start tomorrow for the little ranch
in the west where he hopes to play
cowboy for a whole month.
Word had preceded the liner that
the baron wanted none of the formal
tiles due a crown prince when he o.
reached the Dominion. Nevertheless,
crowds loaded the pier for hours be-
fore the ship locked, awaiting the
opportunity to see and cheer him.
Baron Renfew is still sleeping
was the word passed when the ship
, came in. The crowd waited for
, three hours until he came down the
plank.
An. automobile whisked the prince
away to his hotel where later an Of
fetal welcome was rendered by
! Major O'Connor, aide de camp to
Baron Byng, general. This
! call. with those made aboard the
Empress of France in port by Brit
| ish naval officers, constituted his only
| official engagements today.
] The prince will remain ipcognito, IL

tenac by his secretary, Sir Godfrey

! pearances in the Dominion and will
not visit the United States, said Sir
Godfrey. BY train to the ranch to-
| morrow, four weeks of the life of an

That the prince hasn't forgotten all

left behind him after his official tour
of the continent three years ago was
revealed by passengers Of the En-
press of France in whom he confided
| during the voyage.
Often, said Justice Tessier of a
J Quebec high court, the prince would
naively remark: Il suppose many OF
the girls l danced with are married
and settled down by now"
He remembered a surprisingly
great number of names of people he
met while here before. and asked
about many of them. said the princes
fellow passengers. He also showed a
comprehensive knowledge OF world
politics, they found. and indicated
he had his own ideas about certain
| subjects but he didn't force his
| opinions on anybody. He was a
good listener"
