Loradon, April S.-After a long con, ference with the French Ambassador, Paul Cambon, had with Premier Lloyd George today, and a full discussion of the French-German incident by the cabinet council, at -which the French view was fully explained to the Brit ish ministers, an authoritative state ment w-s issued to the effect that France acted entirely on her own initiative in deciding to occupy Ger man towns; that Great Britain, the United States, Italy and Belgium were all opposed to the plan. sand that France's action had caused a delicate situation. The matter is under discussion of the British and French governments and the hope is expressed that the situation may be eased. Tle statemtfent recites various ex pedients suggested for dealing with the Ruhr situation, among others, the sending of allied officers with the Girman troo;ps to supervise the Ger man withdrawal. Another alterna tive was that the decision should be lufr with the Ge'rman government with the stipulation that inliess tle statue (iuo was suffiiently restored the allies iiitimsi(lves: wol Id occupy Gernan ni ins to enforce their deman(. The statem-elnt iproceeds: "Tho G ermtan government seems to have acted precipiitately. and France to have responded by adopting a plan which was only intended as a last resort method." Groat Pritain. Italv, loligiumi and the 1'tnited States, it is declared, all felt that the task of restoring order should lie with G;ermany, and all were pposed to their regular forces being ralled upon, except as a last resort, to idertake wh aie virtually )0lie rit ies. It : pointed out that France feared son.. ulterior motive on the part of Germany. and doubtless acted in 2ood faith. but, adds the state nont. "the immediate result is that the res:onsibility for her action can tiot ho. shared by the alis as a whole. alnd certainly there is no intention on the part of the British government to low B3ritish soldiers to act as p0olice bIetweei hostile German factions and n(1r all the odium of such a position. to say nothing of its risks." The state(mlit (olutdes: "If. and whlien( , Franlees suspicions r)f Ge rmany's ulterior m10otivies and rleliberate flaunting of the 11114 of the pliaCe treaty becoie accomp slished facts, the allies .would doubtless ho pelipared to act Instantly and vigorou s y in eon ni it to vinldiate the 'osition ind iespeet fori th treaty. lut for he time being it may be takent that o British soldierl will participaie inl h l l oc l tiion of G 1rn1n (ities in t WAR uBRIES ihicSl inmur Vaiiie wehaico en who lirm lit a F the'titwa te Yor Siun.'rtii ts laergt lthouisand s oa wr idatio in telad if thil rof ds of ar-nIousy oanatia u h' which Traok t iterthe.\ii welfar of ew who touht eu th ofreat) foewa r idi'i dwpend -nas laeni rigtilif andr soial, otk iethn i tDity hail afa promis ent by a~ womniiliianesthTav 'er' A d oie nty aonew inork,' thas lit ofo 'ns0 foria war0 reie who n London.
