Industrial Police Unit
Projected for Ruhr TO
Bar Secret War Work
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Dec. 22.-An interna-
tional industrial police force will be
created soon to patrol the Ruhr and
prevent Germany from developing
secret arms works for new attempt
to dominate the European Continent.
A diplomatic source who refused
to permit use Of his name or even
of his nationality, reported this de-
cisiop today as one of the major
accomplishments of a six-country
conference on the future Of the Ruhr
According to this diplomat, the
International Board will supervise
the workings of the police force. The
police force will maintain a period
ical inspection Of the Ruhr plants
to see that they do not exceed pro-
duction limits set by the Western
powers.
The police will also keep close
watch to prevent the Ruhr plants
from production of war material.
Control Board Planned.
Meanwhile, diplomatic sources
said, a seven-nation international
control board-with Germany as
one Of the members-will be set up
up soon to boss Ruhr industries.
The plan was developed during
the conference of the Western
powers-the United States, Britain,
France, The Netherlands, Belgium
and Luxembourg-which probably
will complete it's work this week.
A formal communique may be de-
layed until after Christmas.
Details of the control board S
functions were not disclosed, but
officials who attended conference
sessions said they represented major
concessions to French demands for
close supervision over production of
the Ruhr, which yields Germany
the coal and steel for two world
wars.
Ownership Question Put Off.
Pigeon-h -holed indefinitely, one in
formant said, is the question OF
future ownership OF the Ruhr
plants.
Delay on this point helps ease
French fears that a powerful Ger
man war potential might be re-
created. 1t is designed also to help
stabilize the French government OF
Premier Henri Queuille.
The United States and Britain
previously had held the question
of ownership should be left for the
Germans themselves to decide, once
they have a legal government.
The French have called for inter-
Naturalization of the Ruhr; the
British for naturalization, and the
United States, in general terms, for
private ownership.
Principles Agreed On.
The conference agreed on several
basic principles to govern the fu-
ture of the Ruhr. One is to ban
Nazis to control of the Ruhr man
agement.
The Ruhr international authority
will be charged with general allo-
cation of coal, coke and steel for
both export and domestic use. This
would permit channeling of Ruhr
products into European recovery
work
The authority will be called on
to protect foreign interests, pre-
vent concentration of industrial
power in a few hands and bar dis
criminatory trade proctices.

Most Negro newspapers in all

A poll conducted by the Spokes-
