Whether France's seizure of the Ruhr was wise or not, it would hardly seem fair not to give her free rein in the course she has decided upon. Bonar Law left behind him in Paris, after the collapse of the conference of premiers, the distinct understanding that England should not assume any responsibility for what might follow and that France would be left to shift for herself.
