arisen in the negotiations between
France and Germany relative to the
Moroccan conference meeting. The
special plenipotentiaries of the two
countries are suspended. DR.. Roscn,

instructions from Berlin. The extend
ed delay excites apprehension that
Germany will not yield upon the points
which France considered essential.
DR.. Rosen made reassuring state
ments today. saying: "The alarming
reports are quite unwarranted. The
prolongation of negotiations ought not
to excite apprehension or alarm as it
only shows We are trying TO reach
durable accord"
