DASSIvE resistance In the Ruhr is
l admittedly at Its last gasp. and
the German government ls moving
toward an agreement with France
which shall make possible the restora-
ton Of commercial relations and the
resumption Of negotiations concerning
reparations payments. Chancellor
Stressemann is acting with caution for
his position Is precarlous. but he does
not pretend that passive resistance
has not collapsed, and he practically
has paved the way to its abandonment.
This may not be formal abandon
ment by the government, for 1t is al
ready going on In the Ruhr. where the
workers and the other inhabitants find
they have reached the limit. Strese-
mann says that only Franco-G German
Industrial union will solve the repara-
tlons problem. and France, It is said,
recognizes that an economic accord
with Germany is Indispensable and
will be the best form Of guarantee
against German aggression. For the
present the negotiations for such an
agreement are limited to private con-
versations between the German and
French lndustrlallst magnates.
