BRIGHT OUTLOOK
Is Now Apparent Over the
Affairs in Morocco.
French Press However Argues
Need Of Military Preparation
And Delegates Leave for Conference Ready
TO Back Up Frances Position.

Paris. Jan. 7.-Public uneasinesS over
the Moroccan conference has undergone
q distinct improvement. This is Que
mainly 10 the confident attitude OF tte
afficiais of the Foreign Office who con-
slider the selection by the tallail
government "f the Marquis Nisconti
EeEoSta. who WAS one of the earnest
advocates of the Franco-Italian en-
t"nte. strengthens the government 8 eH-
pectation ot the united support OF the
leading Mediterranean powers.
The material tone Of the press mas
considerably diminished and the Geiisa-
tiOnal branch of ii no longer prints
alarmists reports of the frontier pre-
parations. Nonetheless, the public and
he press continue. though with great
.almneSs, 10 discuss the imperative
need of completing military prepara
tons.
Now that the French delegates are
preparing to start for Algcciras. there
is evidence Of IN" greatest firmneSS in
upholding the French position, the es-
sential feature of which is that France
through her geographical proximity to
Morocco, which is analogous to that
VI lHt IIOSItIoll vi tIlt- tIflItet otutN' W.
wards Cuba and through her east
Algerian borders is justly entitled to
have a special and privileged position
in Morocco.
Germany, while yielding much. has
never clearly yielded the claim Of
France to q special position i'm Morocco.
This is the vital issue and the minor
questions regarding police, customs,
finance and oontraband, can be ADJUST
ed once it is definitely settled whether
France has or has not n special and
privileged position in Morocco.
If the French position is upheld. the
conference. it is expected. Will charge
France with the police. customs and
other duties. Against this Germany
will seek to secure International con-
troll of the police. the customs and
other duties. Against this Germany
will seek to secure international control
Of tho police, the customs and other
matters. thus giving all nations. in
Guiding Germany. the same status in
Morocco rs that of France.
The delegation will start without
the slightest thoughts of yielding on OF
compromising the essential principles
Of Frances privileged position. and
therein lies the danger OF the Franco
German outlook
The Berlin correspondent of the
Temps says that Germany. following
the action of the United States and
Great Britain, is sending a squadron
to Algeciras. The paper says that
France TINS far has not ordered q
squadron to the neighborhood of the
conference. 1t adds that three British
squadroha. comprising the channel
Rome ami cruiser squadrons, will
rendezvous in Cadiz bay. near Algeci-
ras, in the middle of February.
