THE RUHR: Dark With Shadows

The question of the Ruhr was engulfed by its cognate problem of reparations, and the whole was overshadowed by the preliminaries which are to lead to a conference. The Ruhr occupation will, almost certainly, figure very largely in the conference. Meanwhile the French are in possession and are gradually persuading the industrialists to open their factories and start deliveries of reparations. See REPARATIONS.
