The political anti economic crises through which Germany was passing were solely the result of the methods adopted by the French Government. “ If we are allowed to work the Rhineland and the Ruhr,” he said, “ and if the Separatist movement is not forced on our countrymen and the conditions of reparations are so arranged that Germany can pay, the conditions that are now threatening the existence of Germany will soon cease.
