ON
MOROCCAN
AGREEMENT

Paris. July 12-12:35 p. M.-Former For
eign Minister Delcasse, in the course of
an interview published by The Gaulois to-
day upon the British and French naval
amenities ar Brest, was induced to dis
Guess his general policy relative TO Great
Britain and Germany He said:
THE policy OF nations nowadays is not
based on sentiment or antipathy but upon
their material interests AS between Ger
many and Great Britain our commercial
balance shows where our interest lies
Great Britain Is our best purchaser, while
Germany buys almost nothing of us and
tries 10 sell us all she can. Moreover
irritating controversies with Great Brit
ain which might precipitate an armed
struggle. for Great Britain holds indisput-
ably the empire OF the seas.
1T is, therefore. we'll TO accept these
manifest facts and consider the value
which Great Britain could give us in Ger
tain conditions. The greatest intrinsic
values would be the virtual impossibility
I'm which IL would place Germany OF max
ing war upon US
NJ Delcasse was asked IL he considered
the recent menaces in connection with
Morocco as being serious. He replied
Not at all. In case OF war Great
Britain would be surely with us against
Germany. and then what would the infant
fleet Of Germany amount to? What would
become OF her ports? or her commerce? =?
OF her merchant marine; it would mean
annihilation.
THAT Is the real significance Of the
present exchange OF visits OF the British
and British squadrons. An understanding
between these two powers and coalition
OF their navies would create a naval war
machine so powerful that neither Ger
many or any other power would risk con
clusions upon the sea. II is the sea
which IL Is necessary TO command today
and the war in the far east has con-
clusively demonstrated that"
In conclusion, NJ. Delcasse was asked
for his opinion Of Frances accepting a
conference on Morocco. TO which he gave
the following testual response;
ITO go 90 n conference is a mistake
and such n mistake"
