BIRD IN HAND POLICY.

(Reuter's Service to the China Mail)

i

PARIS, September

Speaking at the inauguration of a War Monu ment at Danvillers, M. Poincaré, declared that German resistance in the Ruhr was beginning to collapse spontaneously. Herr Streseman now offer- ed other guarantees than the Rubr and the railways in occupied territories but a bird in hand was worth two in the bush. The proposed guarantees would add nothing to the general mortgage on all the property of the German states conferred by the Treaty. France preferred the positive sureties which she had in hand to these theoretic rights. She would not abandon them for general güir- antees excellent on paper but unproductive in prac- tice. "We wont realities and we shall only leave when we are paid."

AT THE CROSSROADS.

M. Poincaré said that Herr Stresemann's pro posal for the collaboration of Franco-German industries as a preliminary to settlement of repar ations was putting the cart before the horse. It was true that as Germany produced coal and France ore it would be advantageous to the industries of the two countries to come to an understanding some day but Frenchmen, though most interested in these economic conventions, realised it was their duty firstly to allow the French Government to ob- tain positive results in the reparations problems, When France saw Germany sincerely determined. to settle the paramount question of the rebirth of the devastated regions and give something besides promises for France's security, France would con- sider without prejudice the possibilities of conclad- ing economic treaties but Germany must begin by showinggoodwill and decide finally to make a seri ous effort to pay her debts. Germany is at the crossroads. If she wishes to save herself there is still time but if she persists in her methods she will bring upon herself catastrophes for which we will not be responsible."

GERMANY REDUCES RUHR EXPENDITURE.

BERLIN, September 9.

The Imperial Economic Council carried a resolution in favour of immediately reducing "expenditure in respect of the Ruhr fight" to a absolute minimum. The distribution of the money earmarked for this purpose is to be entrusted to a committee of members of the Government and re- presentatives of various political economic bodies vested with dictatorial powers.

"BORING FROM WITHIN."

NEW YORK, September 9, The United mine workers of America have published the first of a series of six articles support- ing the allegation that Communist forces under the direct supervising of the Moscow Government are seeking to overthrow all the American Governments and establish a Soviet dictatorship by gaining con-, trol of the labour organisations by "boring from within." It is alleged that the Communists fomented the steel strike in 1910, the switchmen's strike in 1920 and aided the railway shopmen's strike last year and committed many outrages.
