German Foreign
Minister Reiterates
Attitue in Ruhr

Berlin, March 27-(By A. P)-
Foreign Minister Won Rosenberg. ad-
dressing the foreign relations COM
mittee of the Reichstag at conf
dental sitting today said there would
be no capitulations nor any relenting
in the passive resistance of Germany
along the Ruhr front, and that UNI
conditional evacuation of the occu-
pied territory must constitute tile
basis for any discussion or negotia-
tions looking TO a solution of, the
present impassd
Speaking for Chancellor Cuno. who
is still confined to his bed by a stub
born attack Of pluerisy, Baron Won
Rosenberg said the governments at
titude and it's program had not been
changed in the face of the stubborn
deadlock over the Ruhr and Rhine
land situations.
In the debate following the foreign
minister's statement. unanimity of
opinion was revealed among all the
various parties in the Reichstag. the
United Socialists in particular indi-
eating their approval of the govern
ment's course.
Baron Won Rosenburg told the for
eign relations committee that the
government position on the repara-
tons question was that an .nterna-
tional commission of business men
should determine at the earliest pos
sible moment the. extent to which
Germany already had fulfilled her OBJ
legations: her ability to meet them in
the future and the manner il which
they could be met.
This attitude, the foreign minister
added was based on the proposals
made in the speech of Secretary of
State Hughes at New Haven last De-
cember. If this matter was submit
ted to any such impartial body, on
which Germany and France were rep
resented on terms of full equality and
with full rights. the German govern
ment would be prepared to sound the
international money market with a
view to obtaining the highest possible
loan, the money to be handed to the
Allies as an immediate advance pay
ment in cash.
FIe also emphasized the daily ag-
gravation and sufferings of the Ruhr
population and limited at the danger
OF an outbreak of national passion.

ASST SESSION
Identification of Rapid Tran
sit Discussed After Report
of Conference is Given

TOTTENVILLE, Oct. 1.-The
electrification of the Staten Island
Rapid Transit Railroad came in for
considerable discussion at a meet
ing of the South Shore Protective
Association held last night at Great
Kills, following the report of the re.
cent conference held with Genera
Manager r. b. White and the hear
ing last week before the Transi;
commission on the needs for i'm
provements along the three divisions
of the railroad on the island. Presi-
dent Augustus G. Marscher presided
at the meeting and gave the report
of the conference and hearing, the
latter which had been adjourned at
the request of the general manager
of the road.
Following this Robert 7. Cone, who
was afterward made chairman of the
new transportation committee of the
association, raised the objection with
regard to the report which he said
was not definite as to what the rail-
road was to do in the promises which
had been made through it's manage
ment. The Identification was one
of the points OH which he dwelt upon
as when the railroad would pro-
pose TO put thai system in operation
although the Cosgrove bill passed at
the last session of the legislature
makes it mandatory before 1926 for
all steam railroads within the city
of New York to adopt electricity.
