The authorities are hopeful that he will not make a speech as this pos sbily would give a political aspect to his visit
 The French officials are satisfied that Germany has no political designs on Mo rocco, and 1t is pointed out that if German activity there will result in the inter ruption of French policy, 1t will be a severe blow to the cause of civilization as 1t will encourage Morocco to revert to the old regime of barbarlsm and anarchy which made the Peridcaris case possible.
