Ruhr intact, would have solved it-| self long before now. | “Some day,” he said, “Berlin will see, as many sensible people in the| Ruhr already see, that the German | government. made a grave economic | mistake in agreeing to pay thousands | of workers for doing nothing. Leav-| ing aside the ultimate failure of} this method to frustrate the effects | of the occupation, as it is bound to fail, the idea of pouring out money | to workers for doing nothing is very | bad psychology. It will have many | disastrous ramifications. Already other workers, such as the miners, have caught the idea of passive re- sistance to their own employers. These workers, encouraged by the fact that their fellow workers, who have been affected by the occupa- tion, have been able to leave their jobs and still receive full pay, have now adopted the ‘method of go- ing to their work and spending the day discussing the problems of life or playing cards. The natural conse- quence has been that most of them were locked out. The same thing should have been applied to all the workers who refused to work under the occupation authorities. If it had been, passive resistance would have melted ai and there would have been no interruption in the long normal economic life of the ovcu- nied ar When asked what his improgsion was of the general attitude of the German population toward the pre-| sence of French troops, General De- goutte replied: “It’s too good, tary discipline.” When farther asked if the seizures of. increasing amounts of marks, which have been prominently pub- lished during the past few days in| the German press, represented a de- Parture from methods hitherto prac- ticed by the occupation army, he an- swered: “Not at all. We have been seizing money for the expenses of the army ever since we entered the Ruhr. The Seizures now seem much greater} than at first because the mark now Tepresents only a fraction of what it} did when we came, thanks to Berlin’s | Policy of paying vast sums for non- Production.” “Let me explain about tltese sei- zures of money,” the General con-; tinued. “As you know, the Treaty of Versailles provides that Germany shall pay the expenses of whatever| occupation forces may be considered necessary, When we first came I wrote a requisition on the Reichs- bank for the army's expenses for the first week. ‘The Reichsbank re- fused to honor it as Germany de- cided the occupation was illegal, I thereupon said: ‘All right, we'll just take what is necessary for our ex- penses!’ But don’t forget that for every paper mark we seized we gave a receipt to the person from whom it was seized, and.I am reliably in- formed that all holders of receipts ave been reimbursed by the Reichs- bank. 4“The same thing is true of every- thing else we have requisitioned for the army, including automobiles, You may be surprised to know that sev- eral Germans have come to us re- qpesting that we requisition their It's bad for mili- aiitomobiles, so that they might cash pete receipts, with the Reichsbank a profit.” 2.
