* LONDONCABINET - GIVEN RUBRDATA Secret Session Expected to Hear Results of Baldwin- Poincare Parley. By the Associated Prews. * LONDON, ‘September 26,—Cermany's1 untonditional surrender in the Ruhr invests today's meeting of the Brit- ish cabinet with additional impor- tance. It is the first cabinet: council in several weeks, during which time eventy of great momrent directly af- feeting British interests have hap- pened. The deliberations are secret and no official report of them is to be expected. It is taken for granted that the ministers will be given a full account by Prime Minister Baldwin of his much-discussed conversation with Tremier Poincare. It is not supposed, however, that the cabinet members will be called upon to decide any im- portant point of policy, in view of the present uncertainty in the situa- | tion all around. Political writers for the most part refrain. from speculation as to the future. The Daily Telegraph's ex- pert, however, iy confident that France will waive any tactical ad-r vantage she may have obtained ower Great: Britain in_consequence of her successes in the Ruhr, and that Pre- mier Poincare is ready to make con- cessions ‘to the Germans when the time comes. . Editori: comment on the surrender of Germany Is very limited. The Daily Mail raises a paean of triumph and praise for Premier Poincare. The Morning Chronicle, however, harshly scores France and -the present Brit- ish government for causing in Ger- many financlal collapse of appall- ing magnitude," and adds: Y “The economic ruin of Germany is a deadly blow to British trade and to the British ideas of reconstruction. + e ©It is rather a bad day for Enghand and glish prestige.’ The Times more than doubts wheth- er the payment of reparations to any of the allies appears more probable as a result of the French success in the Ruhr BERLIN FORMALLY ENDS RUHR RESISTANCE WITH PLEA FOR PEOPLE’S AID (Continued from_First Page.) stag parties, of which the German nationalists alone assume an opposi- tional attitude. The reactionaries demanded nothing short of an ulti- matum to France and a breach of relations uniess the occupying powers immediate! conceded the points of honor which Strésemann sought to inake a prior condition to his sur- vender of passive resistance. The united soclalists, clericals, dem- ocrats and the crhancellor's own party, the German Deonw’s Par nctioned the government's action, nd while there was scattering opposition, this| waa viewed as being prompted chiefly by reasons of personal prestige. Actlve opposition from the Bava- | rian people’s party, which neminally votes with the clericals, is not an- ticipated, and if the Bavarlans con- | clude to withhold" thelr support in the reichstag it 4s believed their op- positicn will be of a negative char- acter. Chancellor Stresemann’s most con- vincing argument throughout hig ex- tended conversations during the fpast forty-eight” hours- proved -to- be' the official admisslon that passive resist- ance had been costing Germany eight quadrillion marks weekly toward the end. The mention ‘of this promptly mellowed the wavering doubters, but the reactionaries preferred to make an issue of the natlon’s “honot and dignity.” POINCARE STILL SKEPTICAL. Premier to Make No Move Until German Stand Is Proven. By the Associated Press. PARIS, ptember 26.— Premier Poincare, who returned to the for- oign office today from a rest at his | summer home in Sampigny, is await- ing the actual cessatfon of resistance in the Ruhr and compliance by the industrial interests there with .the orders of the authorities of occupa- tion . before forming an opinion as 10 the significance of political events SPECIAL NOTICES.

It will then be in order. for the mine operators and heads of the other industries in the Ruhr val- ley to conform -to the program of the autiorities of oocupation.

It is expected in French official eir- cles that the 'Germans will insist strongly. on the return of the ex- pelled functionaries to the Ruhr and the Rhineland. The French govern- ment, it 1s declared.- will stoutly re- sist the return of the functionaries who were expelled for acts of sabo- tage .and '~ encouraging rebellion against the authorities of occupation. Furthermere the French authorities in the occupied area have reported that there is no particular desire on the part of the population of either the Ruhr or the Rhineland to see the Prussign officeholders return The political situation in Germany as the aftermath of the decision to abandon’ passive resistance in the Rubr js being watched by the French Eovernment with some anxiety, in view of the possibilities of a na- tionalist movement, such as one tending. to separate Bavaria from the reich: the outbreak’ of mild bol- shevism in Prussia and fresh im- Petus to the separatist movement in the Rhineland. Should serious dis- turbances of any sort arise in the rest of Germany, it is thought they would most certainly have the resuit of increasing the number of Rhine- landers desiring to assure continua- tlon of their tranquillity by separa- on. The allied troops, it is asserted in official circles, will not be allowed to take.sides in any conflict, as in the absence of other military force responsibility rests upon them for the maintenance of order in the vc- cupled territor. SEPARATISTS PLANNING TO PROCLAIM REPUBLIC _(Continued from First Page.) verge of disintegration as well, it is important to know the attitude of France toward the Rhineland separ ratist movement,. which aims at the breaking up of Prussia. After a paine- taking inquiry, the writer is prepared to offer an authoritative statement on this voint, the first statement of {ts kind issued “from Parfs. ‘Watchful waiting and benevolent neutrality, involving approval _but not material aid, can be said to sym- bolize * France’s attitude toward separatism. A “The Rhenish movement is an in- ternal German affair. with which we can sympathize, but in which we can- not take sides,” Paul Tirard, French dolegate on the Rhineland high com- mission, sald recentl Praise for Separatis: “The . Rhenish . separatist _leaders may or may not be sincere,” said a high functionary of the Quai d'Orsay to the writer today. *But at least they profess to be well disposed toward us. To suppress them in the midst of their protestations of friend- ship for France would be asking too much. They constitute a distinct im- provement over the other Germans.” Practically all parties and all shades of public opinion in this coun- try, save the socialists and the com- munists, approve the idea of sepa- ratism In the abstract, but all are un- willing to offer concrete aid in put- ting it into practice. There is only one small faction, headed by the his- torian, Maurice Barres, which come; out openly for Rhenish independence. The others reserve judgment. The coldness of Great Britain to- ward the separatist movement prob- ably has much to do with this re- serve.

BERLIN, September 26.—Through- out the whole Ruhr today leaders are personally telling the population of the decision to end passive resistance and are urging upon them the neces- sity of returning as quickly as pos- sible to hard work and full produc- tivity. Only the communists are op- posing the surrender. They are doing so only to further their own political schemes. The formal government proclama- tion ending passive resistance, whi¢h will be issued today, represents. the unanimous decision of all the Ruhr and Rhine representatives, who have been conferring here with the pre- miers of all the German states save Bavaria. People Glad of Peace. The Ruhr population certainly wel- gomes the end of the strugsle, if it really is being ended. But it is fear- ed that a long and painful period of transition must intervene before the Puhr can resume normality, Psychologically, the Ruhr popula- tion is in no_mood for a return to hard work. The truth is that the enormous Berlin subsidies, on which they have been living, have demoral- ized large portions of the population. Many enjoyed getting paid ‘for do- ing nothing. Others were grossly overpaid for what little work they Muchs of the money appears to have gone into queer channels.: It is gen- erally believed in Berlin that many who recelved subsidles —used the money for speculation. thus further dopressing the very marks in which they had been paid. Transition Dificult. The transition from a state of nerv- ous idleness to intense rhythmic work il be diffcult. Railroad tracks need repairing. Rolling stock s scarce and In'poor condition. Communications, as managed by -the French and Bel- glans, are inadequate for one-fifth of the Ruhr's needs and it may be along {time before the expelled raflway men can be brought back to take up their Work under Fremch supervision. Meanwhile, the Ruhr urgently needs food. 'The whole winter's supply of potatoes must be imported and dis- tributed within the next month, be- fore the frosts come.

Notwithstanding leading editorials in the German newspapers, even as late as Monday, predicting that there would be a spontaneous outburst of disorder if passive resistance were abandoned unconditionally, the news of its actual abandonment could not have produced a more undramatic effect. As to whether the lack of visible excitement was due to stupel tion caused by the abruptness of the Ber- lin government's.decision, or whether the ‘population generally fully realliz- ed that passive resistance already had petered out on its ewn accord, opin- ion of the leading Germans today was divided. Some of today's newspapers declared that the government's de- cislon was the only thing to be done and that it was really “the natural course of events.” Other newspapers satisfy the pride of their readers by saying that while Chancellor Stresemann and his cabi- net apparently decided to give up passive resistance, there really were mental reservations, and a successful resumption of the economic activities in the Ruhr depended on how France decided to treat the population. This school of newspapers took a general attitude somewhat as follow: “We recognize superior force and bow to the inevitable, realizing we are ‘at the end of our material resources.

The opinion of the German press in the Rhineland area supports the Berlin government’s action in calling but warning is advantage being taken of the situation by the separatist elements. > “This step deprives France and Belglum of their last pretext to dodge a reasohable settlement,” says the Cologne Gazette. The Volks Zei- tung admonishes the populace to ob- serve order and dignity, of which the Rhineland is in urgent need. France, it says, now is given the opportunity to speak the rédeeming word. The Rhenish Gazette, organ of the socialists, says: “We areanticlpating the negotia- tions with the full consclousness that the fate of Europe Is to be decided either through methods of peace or war.
