FRENCH MOVE
IS DISCUSSED
Administration Circles Look
Upon Occupation of Ruhr
as Blow to Preparations

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The be-
lief that occupation of the Ruhr dis
trict by French military forces will
have an adverse rather than a fay
cradle effect on r~eparations pay
ments was further emphasized today
by ~utterances in administration cir
Giles here. The occupation of SC I'm
portant a sector was described by
one official as a blow over the head
of German industry as a whole.
Industrial production, it was de-
clared, is one of the most delicate.
ard finely adjusted completes Of
modern life, and one that military
occupation is sure to destroy. The
lack of incentive to produce, destruc-
ton of competitive action and disio-
cation of all the machinery of pro-
duction, it was said, is sure in the
long run to defeat the avowed pur-
pose of the Ruhr occupation.
The present s-tion of the French
was compared with that Of the Ger
a during the war when they
tried to make use Of Belgian indus
tries after their oct patton OF Bel
GUM. 1t was pointed out that th4
Germans failed utterly to obtain the
benefits expected, the Belgian labor
ers refusing to work xc- by COM
pulsion and accomplishing nothing
in instances where they were forced
to work.
It was suggested further that the
Germans learned by this experiences
exactly how to balk the present ef-
fort of the Belgians and the French
to make use of the German indus
tries of the Rufpr.
T. Q problem now is, according to
this view. whether the German ma
ton will consent to send food and
supplies into the Ruhr at the ex-
pense Of other portion s of the coun-
t. :. or will cut off that section from
its usual intercourse with the re-
/ mainder of Germany in an effort tc
avert a general ece omic collapse,
| Should the latter course be chosen
| officials here foresee very serious
| complications, which may make the
French army of occupation a liabil-
ity rather than an asset to the
French government.
