This information has reached the French government on what is regarded as unquestionable buf une official authority. Three Big Items These concessions appear o in« clude: First—Withdrawal of the Franco« Belgian troops of occupation with the exception of a mere skeleton mifitary force, which would In the diptomatiac sense be “Invisible.” Second—Permission for the Ger- man officials and functionaries ex-« pelled from the Ruhr to return to their posts restoring the local ad- ministration of all civil services as it existed before January 11, when the occupation took place. Third—That the French govern« ment agree to restore the currenay it confiscated. Not Acceptable, These conditions, it is declared here, would be unacceptable to the T'rench government because they are unaccompanied by any definite assur- ances or guarantees that reparation payments would be forthcoming.

It was still regarded as possible that another meeting of the ministry might be required. » It is thought possible that the doo« uments, when completed may eme brace a third one, in the nature of an explanatory ~memorandum setting | forth points not contained in the draft reply or the covering letter.
