AGREEMENT NOT IN SIGHT
France Has Monroe Doctrine for
Northwest Africa.

Algeciras, Jan. 25.-The confidential
exchanges now going on among the
representatives OF the powers dis
closes the extreme difficulty of arrang-
ing an agreement that both France
and Germany would accept. The Ger
man delegates put forward the at
tractive principle Of distinterested-
ness and equal privileges for all coun-
tries. The French delegates, on the
other hand, maintain that France can
not be disinterested. They affirm
that having followed an active policy
In Morocco for eight years and having
obtained numerous advantages, France
should not now be asked to take the
same position as all the rest of the
world.
France virtually enunciates in a
modified form the principle of the
Monroe doctrine in northwest Africa.
She has acquired and held position
toward Morocco that, according to
her view, makes equal political infiu-
enCe with other powers impossible.
On the question of economic equality,
she says yes" but on that of po-
litical equality she answers no"
Germany insists on political equal
tty with even more tenacity than she
does on economic equality. The main
struggle, however, Is over the polit-
ical future of Morocco. France would
rather withdraw from the conference
than tie up the political destinies of
Morocco by international control.
