This Is Believed to Be French Policy -Poincarc Meets Cabinet Twice
 Daily Now

Paris. Jan. 2. (ByAssociated Press) |-Premier Poincare began this morn-
 ing twice-a-day conferences with the
 cabinet ministers attended also by
 Marshal Foch. These frequent meet ings, it has been decideil. are necessi- tated by the development in the Ruir situation.
 The ministers heard at this morn- ing's session a report by NJ. Guil- laume. the director of mines. who re- turned from the Ruhr especially to bring the latest information to the premier and his colleagues.
 The officials continue to express hopeful view of the outcome of the French occupation of the Ruhr de- spite the increasing opposition their measures are meeting. It was indi- cated they intended to continue their policy of moderation toward the German workmen. believing this course will eventually win over the industrial population and break down the passive resistance of the indus trial leaders and the government.
 According to the latest reports the foreign office the teie- phone and telegraph system is func- tioning in the Ruhr but there was no information available on the strike in hat region set for this morning.
