BY MARK SULLIVAN.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Just as soon
as the issue between France and
Britain takes a definite turn, as seems
probable this week, the internal con-
dition of Germany will enter stimuli
taneously on new phase. Assuming
that the outcome of the relations be-
tween France and Britain Is that the
two countries are not going to agree,
and assuming that the new internal
phase in Germany will point toward
the breakup of the empire, there will
French politics and especially of
French finance.
IL the next stage OF Germany
points toward internal dissolution, it
will follow necessarily that neither
France nor any other country will
be able to get much money out of the
disrupted empire. France may at.
tempt to salvage something in the
way OF tangible property, out of hold
ing on to mines and factories in the
Ruhr. This, however, will be a doubt.
ful asset, for it is almost certain that
the working population in the Ruhr
will attempt a communistic expert
ment of taking over these properties
themselves.
If it should become clear that
France is not likely to get much rep
arations, it will be interesting to see
what will be the psychology of the
French people. 1t may readily turn
out that the French people will not
care much.
Have Two Alternatives.
The French have always had two
alternative purposes, or at least two
alternative wishes, in the occupation.
of the Ruhr and in their attitude
toward Germany generally. The first
purpose was to get money. There
can be no doubt that this was the
actual intention of the French people
when the Ruhr was first occupied.
Some OF the French military leaders
may have had a different motive. But
the French people were tired or watt
ing for the reparations money and
wanted to get 1t at once. When the
German government adopted what is
now generally accepted as the unde-
sirable policy of making it difficult
for the French to collect reparations,
If was seen that an alternative out
come of the Ruhr occupation might
be the breakup of Germany.
With the second of these purposes
the French people may be as well
satisfied as with the first. They
wanted their reparations money and
they went after 1t. But IL the ulti.
mate outcome should be not money
but the breakup Of Germany, that re-
suit would be in some respects even
more satisfactory to the French.
The breakup Of Germany would
mean the end OF that empire as mil
itary menace for a prolonged period
perhaps forever. That would give
the French peace of mind and would
enable them to reduce their military
expenditures. At the same time, any
