Struggle Now Takes on
Appearances of a
Long Life
WISH WITHDRAWAL
German Negotiations for
Peace Are Based En-
tirely Upon the French
Accepting Proposals
(By A. L. Bradford)

United Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, March 24.-Ger-
many is not yet ready to sur
.ender to France in the occupa-
ion of the rich Ruhr Valley, ac-
,ording to information obtained
,oday.
The recent communication from
he German Government to the
United States and Great Britain,
,tating the position of Germany
n the occupation and how far
he Cuno Government was ready
% 90 towards reaching settle
nent with France, insisted IS a
irst requisite for negotiations
hat the French troops be with
lrawn, it was learned.
This information. observers be-
ieve, strongly indicates that the
sullon struggle between the two
countries in the Ruhr will have
20 continue for a time before a
settlement can be agreed upon,
or even open peace negotiations
20 that end undertaken.
Further details of this note are
still kept as a closely guarded
secret, but it is believed Ger
many did indicate a willingness
to make certain concessions to-
wards peace agreement.
The mere fact that Germany
submitted the memorandum to the
United States and Great Britain
with the hope and intention of it
coming in some indirect and in
formal way to the attention OF
France, is regarded generally as
a concession in itself.
France insists that Germany
must first surrender to her and
that there can be no outside
mediation, and that Berlin's peace
and reparations proposals must
be made direct to France and
Belgium. or the Reparations
Commission.
Thus the big obstacle to peace
lin the Ruhr remains: Germany
insists that the French troops
must be withdrawn as a pre-
liminary to negotiations, and
France insists that first she
must have Germany's surrender
and reparations agreement.
