{BNITTO PRESS ASSOCIATION COPIRIOHT.) (AUSTRALIAN - NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) | (Eeceived Ist February, 9.30 a.m.) PARIS, 31st January. The "Petit Parisien" states that general slackness dominated the Ruhr on Tuesday. The railwaymen at Recklinghausen, who struck, and sent an ultimatum to General Degoutte ordering him to withdraw his troops from the railway territory, manifested a desire to resume work, and sought an audience with General Degoutte, who' refused, saying that they, must first apologise for the insolent terms of the ultimatum. "Le Journal" states that France and Belgium have agreed to cease completely deliveries of Ruhr coal to Germany. "Whatever reserves have accumulated, and' whatever purchases are made in Britain,' German industry cannot continue long unaffected by the stoppage of Ruhr coal. A decisive stage of the crisis will thus be reached."
