Withdrawal of Large

Currency Confiscated.
Terms Will Not Be Accept
able to France, Who Still
Insists on Being Given
Suitable Guarantees.
By The Associated Prass.

By The Associated Press.
Paris, July 19.-The German gov
ernment through its embassy In Lon-
don Is striving to have the forth
coming British note on reparaAtons
convey to the French government
Germany's willingness to cease passive
resistance in the Ruhr subject to GER
tain concessions on the part OF
France. This information has reached
the French government on what IL
regarded as unquestionable but nn-
official authority.
Three Big Items
These concessions appear to In
clude:
First--Withdrawal of the Franco
Belgian troops of occupation with the
exception of a mere skeleton military
force. which would in the diplomatic
sense be Invisible"
Second--Permission for the Ger
man officials and functionaries ex-
PEELED from the Ruhr to return to
their posts restoring the local ad-
ministration of all civil services as Il
existed before January IL, when the
occupation took place.
Third-That the French govern
ment agree to restore the currency It
confiscated
Not Acceptable.
These conditions, 1t is declared
here. would be unacceptable to the
French government because they are
by any definite assur-
ances or guarantees that reparation
payments would be forthcoming.
Likewise, 1t is explained. the French
government feels that between France,
which is enforcing the peace treaty,
and Germany, which is refusing to
execute it, it would not be equitable
that Germany should impose con-
ditions instead of yielding to the
French demands.
