BERLIN. November 15.-The OPP
ponents Of the Stresemann ministry
are making political capital of the re-
ported change of the governments
policy toward the Ruhr and Rhine
land, and it seems certain they will
bring the issue before the reichstag
when that body reconyenes next
Tuesday.
The governments decision to let
these territories shift for themselves,
at least while they are occupied, was
made known in official quarters last
night, when 1t was announced that
after November 25 the reich would no
longer be able to meet the unemploy-
ment bills in the Ruhr and Rhineland
In the event that political pressure
does not force change in the policy
of the government. 1t Is believed the
gions will be empowered to deal with
the French and Belgian regime thus
making the future of the areas de-
pendent upon such agreements as may
be effected in local negotiations
This. 1t is pointed out. would place
a prcponderant snare of the RESPONSE
bility for the peoples fate upon the
shoulders of France and Belgium.

night by the Central News Agency
from Berlin reported a semi official
announcement that Germany had
completely stopped all reparation
payments on the ground that France
had violated the Versailles treaty and
that therefore Germany could not OBJ

The London Daily Mail carried a
Berlin dispatch saying that Germany
had decided to repudiate the treaty
and to disregard it as long as the
Ruhr was occupied.

The British view, as has been
previously set forth, is that neither
the Stresemann' cabinet nor any other
German government could undertake
to give the required guarantee for
the protection of French officers and
soldiers, in view of the fact that a
large part of Germany is out OF the
control of the Berlin authorities, the
feeling being that the German gov

the distracted population from taking

BERLIN, November 15.--Well in
formed Germans do not believe that
the former crown prince returned
with the definite object Of leading a
monarchist restoration movement. His
return at this time is explained by the
fact that he has constantly sought to

weeks has general sentiment been
sufficiently reactionary to permit it.
The princes personality inspires
little enthusiasm. However. his re-
turn may constitute an indirect dan
