control and administration of the oc-
cupied region. Great Britain seeming
ly has not yet made up her official
mind and Is willing to wait longer for
results.
TT CANNOT be said. that the Ger.
: mans show any signs of weakening.
Their war slogan, Hold Out" has
been revived and the passive resist
ance program is being carried out
quite thoroughly. Chancellor Cuno re-
iterates that the government will not
bulge from its position so long as
there are French bayonets In the Ruhr.
He asserted the French army of occu.
patton Is costing 1.OOO.OOO gold francs
($25O.OOO more than the value of coal
payable under the treaty, and that pro.
ductivity was decreasing, and as "A re-
suit both countries were suffering. The
German national council has appro-
priated 5OO.OOO,OOO.OOO marks for the
relief Of the Ruhr inhabitants, nearly
1,OOO,OOO for each organized worker.
Moscow has donated $4,000 to them.
- Great Britain and France had at
last reached the parting of the ways
because Of developments In the Near
East conference at Lausanne. Lord
Curzon had the treaty ready for sub
mission to the Turks and announced
that the British delegation would de-
part as soon as 1t was handed to them,
virtually serving them with an ulti-
matum to sign at once or fight. The
French promptly informed the Turks
that they would not leave Lausanne
as long as there was chance to
reach an amicable agreement, and II
was said Italy took the same stand.
When Wednesday came the treaty
draft was presented to Ismet and Ills
colleagues and CurzOn theoretically
defended It as just and generous
settlement which would afford op.
pOrtunity for Turkey to recOnstitute
her national life without external in
Prevention or internal scrvitude." He
then consented to stay in Lausanne
until Sunday night. The allied dele
cations aud the American observers
appeared united In the opinion that u
decision one way or the other could
not be delayed much longer. though
lsmet had asked for several weeks.
II the difficulties are ironed out and
basis OF accord IL reached, us seems
likely NJ this writing. much Of the
credit will be due to Ambassador Child,
who has been exceedingly active In
harEOnizing the conflicting views OF
the allies and In persunding the Turks
to modify their demands and conclude
q speedy peace for the sake Of their
national interests. The treaty as
drafted requires Turkey to abandon
her claims to the districts detached
and now under mandate Of other pow
ers and ulso to Egypt and the Sudan.
