The Ruhr situation prompts Germany to end passive resistance, with Stresemann moving toward talks with France. The article notes Baldwin and Poincare discussions hinting Britain’s stance, and potential referral to the Inter-Allied Reparations Commission after German surrender.
Press reports from France and Germany hint at Rhineland separating from Prussia and Germany, though no formal move exists. France may seek influence if independence forms, while British observers doubt such a shift serves France or Rhineland held by central Germany.
