Paris, April Shy A. P.)-rive
ministers of the Poincare cabinet
Journeyed to distant parts CT France
today and standing beneath monu-
ments dedicated to the war dead and
unveiled in their presence, solemnly
informed the thousands of French
citizens that "the Ruhr will be evacu-
ated only when Germany has full
hlied her reparation obligations"
The war cross was affixed to the
coat of arms of various cities which
calamity withstood the German occu-
patton for four years.
The statement respecting the Ruhr
is interpreted generally and in politi-
cal circles is said to be, the official
reply to the suggestions made in GER
tam quarters opposed to the present
policy in the Ruhr that NJ. Loucheur' s
visit to England, where he met Pre-
mier Bonar Law and Mr.. Lloyd
George, followed by conferences with
President Millerand and Premier
Poincare was the beginning of a
change in the French attitude and
that the French government was
wavering and was willing now to
talk with Germany.
NJ. LCucheur is quoted in the Petit
Journal of which he is the owner, as
saying Immediately after he emerged
from his conference with NJ. Poincare
yesterday: 1 went to England with
