France Has
World in
Its Grasp
Ruhr Tieup Predicted to Re
sult in Appeal to Amer
ica for Relief Next
Year.
Concessions Laid Down
By MARK SUJJVAN.
Uondon. July 16.—Regardless of
merits, and regardless in the long
run of the result, the French have for
the moment won a victory of form.
.For three weeks the British have said
to the French, " twas your program,
and we will say whether we will go
along with it." The French replied,
"You tell us your program and we
will tell you whether we will go
along.”
The British will tell th,eir program
_flaring the preeent week. This, how
^ever, is an easy sort of tactical vic
tory that can be won by merely
standing still. Much more substan
tial Is the fact that Britain now has
Italy on her side, that Belgium's in
terest leans more and more strongly
to the British than to the French,
and that tho Vatican is following a
vigorous course of action which is
helpful to Britain and harmful to
France. In addition, several neutrals
like Holland that are hurt even more
than Britain by the industrial paraly
sis in the Ruhr, are identified with
Britain’s interests.
France Faces Isolation.
* If the program which Britain will
lay down this week should appeal
powerfully to the United States, the
isolation of France would be com
plete.
There are two main concessions
Which France wants to force from
Britain and which it thinks it is in
a strong position to get. One is that
Britain should join in the demand
for cessation of passive resistance by
Germany in order to save France's
face and give color of success to the
occupation of the Ruhr.
Britain Is unwilling to do this pub
licly or formally, because such action
would be Inconsistent with the cor
nerstone of Britain's position, which
is that the Ruhr occupation is illegal.
But Britain could and would find a
way to counsel Germany informally
io withdraw passive resistance if
^P*i»ain coulfl know that this would
be followed by a definite solution of
the reparation question, prearranged
between Britain and France, includ
ing a fixed date for the ending of the
Ruhr ocupation.
>\anls First Payment.
The other concessions France
wants from Britain is that the first
$6,000,000,POO paid by Germany shall
hs devoted to restoring France’s de
vastated territory, leaving Britain to
wait until, and if, Germany pays
more than $6,000,000. This priority
to France would postpone Britain not
only as to her stiare of reparations,
hut also as to receipts from France
on account of the debt which France
owes Britain.
This waiting for a sum certainly
< untingent and quite possibly never
to he paid at all would be the sever
< st sort of strain on Britain, since
Britain has already promised to pay,
and actually is paying, the debt it
owes to the United States.
The French, frankly cynical, say
that they cannot meet their pay
ments to the United States without
receiving any reparation money. At
the same time France cheerfully and
firmly insists that Britain shall not
receive any payments, either from
Germany on account of reparations
or from France on account of her
debt, for many years, if ever.
France's Pride Hurt.
The truth ,s that France does not
like to see Britain paying her debts
to America. France does not think
ica should be paid any of the
money owed to her by any of the al
lies and regards Britain’s paying
America as an injury to herself
France believes that time fights on
its aide, and under all conditions that
is true.
On the same diy that Premier
Baldwin made his speech, Britain's
export figures for June were made
public. They were about 12 per cent
lower than those for May. By about
the same percentage July exports
will be lower titan June's. This show
ing, which Is a result of France's
paralysis of the Ruhr, is nothing
short of slow death for Britain
Francs counts on this, Bnd enjoys
such wounds to British economic
strength with as frank pleasure ns
she received the news of a military
victory over Germany during the
war.
By continuing to hold the Ruhr.
France, in both a military and an
nomic paralysis will be such that
Britain but the whole world by the
throat. America is by no means
emitted from the victims. If the oc
cupation of the Ruhr is maintained
In Its present form the resulting eco
nomic paralsls will be such that
about th» only goods America wilt
send to the continent next year will
be consignments from Herbert
IJoover and the American relief ad
ministration.

Special Election

\ ietorv.
By AMoeiatid PrfM.
St. Paul, .July 16.—Magnus John
son, farmer-la barite and avowed fol
lower of Robert M. IA Follette took
a slight lead in the first scattering re
turns from today's special United
States senatorial election in Min
nesota, leading Governor J. A. O.
Preus. republican and Harding ad
herent, in the first 30 precincts to re
port.
These 30 precincts more, than half
from Ramsey county (St. Paul, gave
Johnson. 3,760; Preus, 3,331, and
James A. Parley, democrat, 8J7.) The
first 13 rural precincts to report were
uniformly for Johnson.
St. Paul, July 16.—With Interest
greatly increased in the last few days
of the campaign. It was Indicated to
night that before the polls closed
possibly more than 600.000 votes
would lie cast In Minnesota's spe
cial I’nited States senatorial elec
tion. The apathy that marked the
June 18 primary, when only 300,000
persons voted, had been dissipated to
a large extent today.
Both Governor J. A. O. Prues, repub
lican candidate and supporter of the
Harding administration, and Magnus
Johnson. farmer-laborlte and La
Follette adherent, voted early In their
respective home precincts, as did
also James A. Carey, democratic
nominee. Ideal weather helped at
tract many voters to the polls, While
spokesmen for Governor Prues said
they would withhold any statement
until a reasonable percentage of the
3,500 precincts in the state had re
ported, leaders of the farmer labor
parly renewed their claim of victory
for Johnson "by around 40,000 ma
jority.”
That the volume of vote would ex
ceed the primary balloting was In
dicated In reports from nearly every
one of the 87 counties, which de
clared the vote would run from 30
to 90 per cent of normal. There are
800,000 eligible voters in the state.
In almost every i ase the county
reports showed a vote In excess of
that In the primary and In some
instances it was double. In the gen
eral election last fall, when' Preus
and Johnson were opponents In the
gubernatorial race, the vote totaled
715.000.
