GERMANS AROUSED
BY YFRENCH GAG ON
PROTESTS IN RUHR
Sharp Note to Paris Says
Attempt to Avoid Discus
sion Is Evident.
BY the Associated Press.


PARIS, February 1o.-The German
charge d'affaires in Paris today hand
ed the foreign Office a note from his
government, protesting against the
French note declaring the French
government would receive no more
protests against action by the forces
of occupation in the Ruhr valley.
THE French government" says the
German note, thereby raises the pre-
tension that all it has done and all
| it intends to do, according to its own
good pleasure, ought to be accepted
in silence by the German govern
ment.
THE German government can see
nothing in this measure, which is
against all the rules of international
relations in time of peace, but an in
dication that, conscious of the juridi-
cal weakness of it's point of view,
the French government desires to
avoid objective discussion of the Ger
man arguments"
The note concludes with the asser-
tion that this attitude will not pre-
vent the German government from
formulating criticisms Of the meas
ures taken by France.

The proposed statutes would admi,

countries situated on other continents

ment Of solidarity among the mem
bers, and bringing about increased
knowledge of each other.
Third, to contribute to the increase
of the friendly relations of the mem
hers with the other countries of the
world
Fourth, to solve by means of arbi-
tration Investigating committees OF

all conflicts of an international char
acter of whatever nature.

that the association considers danger

in the form of colonization, mandate
or protectorate, to any region OF thu

BERLIN. February lot is Off
cially announced that the German
charge d'affaires in Paris today hand
ed the French government the fol-
lowing note:
with it's note of February the
French government sent back the
note Of the German embassy Of jan
uary 81. at the same time intimating
that 1t could in the future receive no
more communications containing any
criticisms of the reparation findings
or the measures taken as a result
thereof
"In reply thereto the German gov
ernment must first point out that the
returned German note contained iii
answer to several French notes, in
which the French government I'm
puted various breaches Of the peace
treaty to the government of the reich
The Reich government has not
made any mention of the reparation
commissions decision, but merely
called attention to the fact that the
French government was simply an
inevitable consequence of the march
into the Ruhr, contrary to the

ration commission by its decision OF

That was not the case on January 26
"If the French government. more
over, once and for all declines to
listen to the German representations
it is demanding that Germany should
tacitly acquiesce in everything II
thinks fit to do. That would be con.
trary to all the rules OF peaceful in
ternational intercourse. The French
government, in it's consciousness OF
the weakness Of Its legal position, is
apparently desirous of evading the
necessity of bestowing careful con.
sideration on the German objections
