FRENCH HAVE PLAN FOR THE RUHR
PARIS, Feb, 2. Revised French- plans for the Rulir are contained in a third memo-ran-dum to Britain, the United States and Russia about the German zones. France wants to see two international companies owning and running the Ruhr coal mines and steel mills. The idea is to limit Germany's steel output to the seven and a-half million tons set at Potsdam, and to shift the steel producing centre of Western'Europe into France, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg, where it would be fed with coke and coal froift the Ruhr. This would reverse the pre-war system of sending coal from the four countries to the Ruhr. It would reduce the Ruhr to the status of -a coalproducing area, largely dependant on' its western neighbours and so reduce the possibility of its being -used for war purposes.
