The French retaliated by suspending all passenger traffic on the Karlsruhe-Basle lines except the Hallando- Swiss expres.

Washington, Feb. 3. At the American Debt Funding Commission, Sir Auckland Geddes finally agreed as regards the British debt.

The situation inside the Ruhr is somewhat tettering, owing to German renunciation of the past programme of "better end" resistance 1 rather than to the partial success of French improvisations and re- "pressions. Impartial observers feel, however, that the position is rapidly reaching an impasse wherein both countries will be glad to come to terms. France is unlikely to make overtures, but it is im probable that she will look askance at German proposals. The German Goverment is somewhat helpless, however, bereanent, and the key. of the position is held by the industrial magnates.

Interest will be payable semi-annually, beginning at three per cent. to 1962 and three and a half per cent. thereafter. Half the interest during the first five years may be added to principal and bonds issued therefor. Payments may be made in United States Govers- ment bonds issued since 17th April or war time issues. This will allow Britain to purchase American bonds at the most opportune times. It is believed this will sustain the price of American bonds and simpl taneously stabilize Anglo-American exchange.

Mr. Stanley Baldwin, speaking at Birmingham, said the settle
America was men; of the marcentous question of Britain's debt the necessary prelude to settlement of the European questions. Britain's nation was an isspiration for countries, which had hitherto not made an effort to pay their debts. It was unthinkable that Britain should default. The greatest financial transaction in the history of the world had been carried out, honesty and expediency going hand in hand as they had not always done. There is prospect of early announcement of the Government policy on the subject of provisión of Empire wireless services.
The question of Allied debts to Britain is attracting renewal interest in consequence of the Anglo-American debt settlement. A weights article in the Observer, apparently representing an in- portant body of responsible opinion, points out that Mr. Bogar Law's offer at the December conference to rescind the Balfour note on condities that France me: British views on the Ruhr question has British, therefore, is committed to the automatically lapsed. principle of exacting a minimaam payment from her Allies, equivalem to Britain's debt to America. 1: is shown that the British debt to

The Government has presented a note to France strongly protest- ing against the coal blockade of unoccupied Germany, repudiating the French contention that Germany has committed a breach of the Peace Treaty and derfaring that the real reason for the blockade is the failure of France's first act of violence, namely the occupation of the Ruhr, driving France to commit fresh acts of injustice.
The French and Polish diplomatic representatives at Rerlin have handed the German Foreign Office a tote, protesting against the restric- tion of the international train services between France and Poland as a violation of the Peace Tresty.
