The Paris dispatches referring to the possibility of a conference came on the heels-of an authoritative disclosure here tliat administration officials viewed the Hughes commission suggestion as still alive and before the French and other allied governments. Whether unofficial talk in Paris points to a possible resort to the principle advanced by Mr. Hughes is not known.
It is generally assumed, however, in view of the tone of today's report from the as to the difficulties surrounding the task beore the Frencn-technical forces there, that economics rather than polities rnut be the basis of any new conference1 approach to the crisis. That wvuld be wholly in line with the Hug-Ires suggestion. Depends on Ruhr. It goes without saying that the nature and scope of any future steps to restore allied solidarity as to the course (to be followed Vith respect to Ger many depend almost entirely on the turn of events in the Ruhr region.

CASH TO KEEP MINES RUNNING Con if From Pa ye One.) Italy to his plan for a conditional moratorium. The French are contemplating seizing Bochum, site of Hugo Stinnes's great industrial plants In the Ruhr, so additional mines may be brought within their control. Tlie moratorium scheme, which is not yet fully formulated, provides for productive, stwities. Including features which will enable the allies to make sure the big German industrial concerns will pay their full share of reparations charges. Sir John Bradbury, Britishrepresen-tative, did not vote on postponing the next payment.
It is understood he intends to refuse to vote on anything remotely connected with tlie occupation or its coiiseqitteTices. It was learned the troops now in Essen may push on to occupy additional territory tomorrow-. The present occupied region produces 26XO0.000 tons of coal, of which 18,000,000 are necessary for reparations, leaving only 8.W,W0 for Ruhr factories, which is insufficient. Occupation of the Bochum area would give the allies control of a production of tons, allowing a surplus for German consumption. Polncare and General Maginot reported to 'the cabinet today thnt results of the occupation and conversations and dealings with the Ruhr industrial barons had been satisfactory.

After the debate there was an impressive testimonial of faith in the existing ministry, all delegates with the exception of the communists uniting in Wie "confidence vote. Loebe asked the Frejich people, to avert the "catastrophic conseQuences" of Poincare's iolicy. Cuno, following Lpebe, declai-ed that if efforts to reach a concrete economic understanding unavailing, the fire France ia kindling in the Ruhr will swe-p Europe. "I ask the world." he said dramatically, "has ever a People fulfilled its promises to a greater extent tfiian the vjemmn people; wen cvuwu oy Hunger and suffering' as itvis?" He mpihasize'd tnat Gerenany, weak ened, had done its utmost to meet t'he claims of France financially, economi vally and politically, offering also an understanding to guarantee peace ibut France rejected everything, putting imight above right. This policy of France, however, will be successful "only if the German people are not united," the chancellor proclaimed.

For the time being Germany "ia forced to form part the bloc, but later she will belong of her own free will, for she will ilnd it convenient.
