Invasion of
Ruhr Tires
Belgians' s
Economic Results of Occupa
lion Prove Disastrous to
Business-French Blast
Furnaces Closed.
To Settl e Boundaries
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

London, June 6.-Prime Minister
Baldwin's friendly gesture in restor-
ing the entente with France is less a
request from Britain to be permitted
to return than gracious response on
Britain's part to solicitations from
France that it come back.
Nothing has happened recently to
influence the judgment which led
Britain to step aside last January,
whereas much has happened to cause
France to wish to review the events
that led to that episode. One Of these
causes is Belgium.
The Belgian government did not
like entering the Ruhr and joined
France in that step only because OF
the close relations between the two
countries. But as soon as the entry
into the Ruhr had taken place, the
Belgian populace went through much
the same evolution of emotions as did
our American public opinion.
Tired Of Occupation.
The Belgian people, remembering
the 100000 Belgians who were de-
ported for forced labor by the Ger
mans during the war; said in effect.
Now let Germany swallow dose Of
it's own medicine" and endorsed the
occupation of the Rhine. More re-
Gently, however. the disastrous eco
nomic consequences Of the paralysis
q l.. L. Pal 10, tcs
ness, and to a less extent the Belgian
populace generally, to want the exist
ing conditions in the Ruhr ended.
Also French business men have
called the attention Of the French
government to the serious injury
done them by the paralysis Of the
Ruhr.
The president of the Metz Chamber
of Commerce the other day told Presi-
dent Millerand that during February
and March 27 out of 40 blast furnaces
had been extinguished in northeast
ern France. Throughout most Of
France, as elsewhere on the conti-
nent. the price of coal has gone up
seriously. Also, .he French peasant,
who believed the value of the franc
would go up on the entry into the
Ruhr, has been disappointed, and
even confronted with the peril of an
opp site result.
~ To Remain Firm.
..s regards Germany, there is no
disposition in Britain or elsewhere in
Europe to let 1t of easily. The judg-
ment of Americans who have looked
into Germany is that it Is able to pay
today more in reparations that 1t was
in 1919. and that it is in fact now
equipped for maximum economic pro-
duction at costs so low as to cause
concern to every other country for
the time when German competition
will be restored.
For Frances demand OF a guaran-
tee by Britain against future mill
tary aggression from Germany, there
is in process of incubation plan
which looks to mutual guarantees of
boundaries in which all countries of
western Europe shall participate.
This plan is being evolved by the
league of nations. Those who look
toward the more distant future OF the
Ruhr will do well to watch the sug-
gestions of the economic union Of
German coal and French iron ore in
the form of some sort Of interna-
tionally controlled trust.

Short Balloters
Open Convention
Today at Capital
Democats Led by Governor
Bryan Hostile to Proposed
Plan of Electing State
Officers.


Lincoln, June 6.-With the short
ballot convention called by Elmer
J. Lamb of Tecumseh. w. NJ. Steb-
bins of oGthenberg and Dan tSephens
of Fremont and others only a day dis
tant its advocates are receiving much
Encouragement from hostile press.
This hostility, emanating chiefly
from the democratic newspapers. is
due to a statement Issued a short time
ago by Governor Bryan in which
he charged the short ballot plan was
backed by republican leaders and was
rot a nonpartisan. conscientious ef-
fort TO devise a means of lettering
state government.
The governor made this statement
in face of the fact that Dan Step
hens and other prominent democrats
had attached their names to the call
for the convention.
Are you reading Mr.. Stephens out
of the party?' the governor was
asked.
LET Mr. Stephens speak for him
SELF he replied.
Expect Small Meeting.
Advocates of the short ballot have
rented Lincoln hall for the meeting
praisement of the meeting is that 1t
will be small in number due to the
fact this is the off-year in politics
and people, as yet, haven't awakened
for the oncoming political battle.
The only publicity received to date
excepting announcement NJ the hear
ing has admittedly been discouraging.
1t is to the effect that the short bal
loters plan to have the governor
make all appointments.
This Is not the case under terms
Of the bill which Lamb introduced at
the last session of the legislature.
which provided for a referendum on
the short ballot at the next general
election. 1t was killed.
The bill called for election OF a
governor, a lieutenant governor and
a state auditor. All other officials
would be appointive subject to con-
firmation by the legislature.
Action Is Unknown.
The Lamb bill made no mention
OF appointing supreme court justices,
university regents and district court
judges. Whether action is contem.
plated by the short ballots on the
proposed initiative Is not known.
To initiate this law and have II
referred to the voters at the next
general election 1t will be necessary
to secure signatures of 10 per cent of
those who voted at the last general
election. This 10 per cent must in
clude per cent Of the voters In two.
fifths OF the counties in the state.
