RUHR TROUBLE.
MR. ASQUITH’S VIEW. CLEARLY A BREACH OF TREATY LEAGUE OF NATIONS .SHOULD HAVE TAKEN ACTION. (Received April 25. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON. April 23. Lord Robert Cecil, speaking at Walford, urged that the amount of Germany’s indemnity should be fixed as soon as possible by the Reparation Committee. He said we must get rid of the war atmosphere and the sooner the Supreme Council ceased to exist the better. Now we are at peace with Germany the Supreme Council could give place to the League of Nations. The entry of German troops into the Ruhr valley was clearly a breach of the treaty. The proper course would have been for any member of the League to take immediate action under the provisions of the covenant. There would have been no question of Germany disobeying orders from the League. Germany would he assured of an impartial decision and any misunderstanding would have been avoided. — Imperial News Service.
