THE RUHR PROBLEM.
PROTEST BY BRITAIN. OCCUPATION OF BRIDGEHEADS. NO SECRET EXECUTIONS* Australian and N r Z. Cable Assn. LONDON, March S. Britain has protested to the French Government against the occupation of the territory between the Rhine bridgeheads in the interests of the'Customs cordon. General Sir A. J. Godley is now in London to discuss the position. LONDON, March 9. Advices from Dusseldorf state that General Degoutte denies categorically allegations of secret executions in the Ruhr. The correspondent of the Daily Express states that he has been unable to verify a single allegation of French savagery. Three German civilians have been hilled since January 15. Each case was duly reported officially. In order to guarantee the Allies against a further drop in the value of the mark and to prevent industrialists organising delay in payments in the hope of depreciation, the French have modified the Ruhr coal tax, the amount of which will lie translated into sound foreign currency values.
