loving specific points:

equality ~ all nations in Morocco
France absolutely refuses these principles,
considering them in negation OF the special
rights which she has acquired as the Algerian
nelghbor Of Morocco, and of her dominant 20

The French view is that the German reply
leaves little hope for the success OF the con-
ference. Some Of the principal delegates de-
clare that the failure Of the conference is now
