THE RHINELAND.
SEPARATION AND PEACE. NO HOLE-AND-CORNER WORK. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received December 6, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, December 5. TJhe Paris correspondent of “The Times’’ says: “The Rhinelanders would be prepared to do much, in the direction of political separation in return for a. genuine peaceful settlement, the withdrawal of tho garrisons from the Rhine, and the f.ubstitution of mild civil control. But if political separation only means placing themselves in the power of the French they are asking. What is the use? Leading Rhinelanders feel strongly that the whole question of an independent State is too important, politically and economically, to be handled by the present hole-and-corner methods. If the Rhineland is separated it means that the Treaty of Versailles must be altered. They therefore argue that the matter should be taken up fairly and squarely b}* the chief signatory Powers.
