London, April 7. "The Times" in a leader declares: ' The French have taken .the only proper course. It is hoped that the British occupation of the Ruhr area will not be required. Should Germany find herself unable to control General von Waiter, English opinion will be insistent that the French shall be given the fullest support. England cannot stand aside.
