Yet officially the issue is considered a |
triumph for Emporer William and Prince |
Won Buelow that will strengthen Germany's !
diplomacy everywhere on the continent.
The attitude OF the American government
toward the Moroccan controversy was al |
together satisfactory to Germany. Precisely |
what part President Roosevelt took in for
warding the settlement Is not made public
in Berlin, but It is appreciated that the
influences he exerted at Paris and London

number. all dated July s. The first Pre-
mier Rouvier wrote to Prince Won Radolin,

rights, nor in opposition 10 its treaties or
engagements, France gave its assent to the

sultan, the integrity of his kingdom the
usual economic freedom, the necessity for
police and financial reforms and their in

note with a detailed explanation of the
negotiations. He declared that the under
standing now reached between Germany

The declarations made in the notes and
the formal assurances from the represen-
