CONFRONTED with a powerful
" "passive resistance" Of the Ger
man government and the German coal
barons, the French last week found
that their organization for the exploita-
ton of the Ruhr basin needed enlarge
ment and Strengthening and, in conse-
quence, they slowed up a bit-but with
out any apparent diminution Of their
determination to get from the Germans
all that can be had.
Early in the week the Berlin govern
ment instructed the coal mine opera
tors of the Ruhr to refuse to deliver
any more coal to the French under
penalty of a years Imprisonment. The
operators therefore defied the demands
of the French economic commission
and ignored its orders to attend con-
ferenceS. Some of them left the re
gion. Immediately the French extend
ed their zone of occupation to include
the entire Ruhr valley, the troops ad-
vancing on the north to the Lippe
river almost to Hamm, on the south
to Unna and Witten and on the south
west to Dusseldorf. They met with nc
real opposition anywhere, though they
had to fire on a crowd in Bochum, kill
ing one man. EXasperated by the Off
cial attitude of the Germans, the
French threatened to arrest n court
martial the coal operators and to con
fscate the mines. And, too, there was
q lot of 'fOn to Berlin" Not far from
Muenster $4,000 men of the German
reichswehr, or national police, were
said to be concentrated and for a few
DAYS it looked as if there might be real
warfare.
Then the French commission TEN
porarily modified its plans. 1t an
nounced that for the present the mines
would not be c~onfiscated, but all Goa
already mined would be seized and di
verified to France and the recalcitrant
operators would be tried by court-mar
tial, but not arrested. The state for
ests along the left bank of the Rhine
also were seized and will be worked tC
produce ~reparations. Every a cal
and barge in the Ruhr was comman
deered and Germany now can get nc
German coal except some of an inferior
quality that is produced in Upper Sile
STA.
SO far as the workers in the occupied
region are concerned, they appear t.
be apathetic. Most of them are com
munists and they say they have beer
exploited by the German industrialis
magnates and that the change of mas
tiers neither hurts nor helps them
They still insist that the capitalists
are the ones who should pay the repa
rations.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1923-01-26

to pay and are still open on condition
that the French withdraw from the
Ruhr. They state that their program
of economic resistance will be carried
even to the point of running Germany,
arguing that this would also result in
the ruin of France, while acceptance
Of a reparations program beyond the
country's ability to pay would ruin
Germany alone. The government is said
to have agreed to reimburse the mine
owners for the profits lost by refusal
to deliver coal to the French-which
enraged the socialist press-and also
to pay the wages of the workers in
case of a general strike.
Cuno is not receiving the unified sup
port that was expected. The socialists
dislike some parts of his program and,
of course, the communists are always
trying to stir up trouble. The reac-
tionary element, especially in Bavaria,
sees an opportunity in the present af-
fair and is agitating for a restoration
of the monarchy, presumably with
Prince Ruprecht as king.
On Sunday some 100000 Bavarlan
Fascist armed to resist French occu-
patton, in the words of their leaders,
were reviewed by Adolph HITLER, head

MUCH space and many large head
1N1 lines have been devoted to an af-
fair in Europe that probably will turn
out to be of minor Importance. When
the allies undertook to remake the map
Of central Europe they accepted the
suggestion of Woodrow Wilson and
made of the seaport of Mcneil and
some adjacent territory a temporarily
neutral zone, under the control of the
League of Nations. 1t was claimed by
both Lithuania and East Prussia, be-
tween which it lies. A few days ago
the Lithuanian peasants living in this
zone, several thousands in number,
armed themselves and marched to the
city of Memel, which they occupied,
the small French garrison being unable
to offer resistance. The Little Lithu-
anian Volunteers" as they called
themselves, announced they were in re-
volt. not against the League of Ma
lions, but against the German admins
tration and German money imposed
on them. Several French warships
were at once dispatched to Mcneil and
the allied council of ambassadors de-
cided TO send a mission to that city to
establish a provisional lnter-allied gov
eminent under the authority Of the
British, French and Italians. Lithua-
MIA. France, Russia and Germany were
each blamed for the Instruction by
some of the others, Germany being es-
pecially vehement in its charge that it
was framed up by the French with the
connivance of the Poles. While, as was
said above, the affair probably is of
relatively small Importance, some OBJ
erver profess to see in it a grave
threat against the peace of central Eu-
rope. The Lithuanian diet was in
