DELIVATE SITUATION
CAUSED BY FRANCE
French Acted Entirely on Own Initia.
tive in Occupying German 'Toins,
Sa.is Statement Issued After Con
ference.
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
