Americas Role in Moroccan Conference
Causes Anxiety.


Paris, Jan. 10.-The role Of the Uni
ted States at the Moroccan conference
arouses much discussion and some APP
prehension in which the officials and
diplomats are taking an active part.
This is due mainly to the dispatches
printed in London papers and repro
duced here purporting to give the Am
erican policy.
one dispatch stating that the United
States Will uphold the German conten-
ton caused unfavorable comment. but
a dispatch from Madrid to the London
Times printed yesterday saying that
the United States will support Great
Britain, Russia, Italy and Spain in the
concert with France counteracted the
first impression and caused more ia
| vorable comment.
This was evidenced during the de-
parture Of the French delegates for
Algeciras.
The newspapers quote member of
the delegation as saying: Great Bri-
tain and the United States are rather
favorably disposed toward us, while
Spain and Italy are with us as Latin
nations"
policy are misleading thru confusion
on the main issues before the confer
encc and in exactness concerning Am
erican intentions AS matter of fact
the only questions in which the United
States delegates are likely to take an
| important part are:
1. International control Of the po-
lice.
| 2. The open door,
g. Protection Of the Jewish residents
in Morocco.
| However, it should be understood
that the first two questions are the
| most delicate in the Franco German

Concerning the open door France adj

ton Of the United States delegates. be-
irr favorable to international control
of the police and unlimited open door,
may have an indirect effect in ranging

France German controversy.
Relative to the Jewish phase OF the
question Jacob Schiff Of New York has
urged this feature upon the authorities
at Washington and there is reason to
believe that this will have sequel at
the conference. However. the Franco
German agreement on the program
of the conference which has been APP
proved by the sultan and accepted by
all the powers does not mention the
Jewish question. Therefore 1T will b.

Mr.. Royce nodded. l, too, recalled
the name. Jim Kemball had been one

twenty years before and must inevi-

And he dragged his partner away to-
ward the bow Of the boat. l saw him
bowling before q gray haired little lady
and younger and taller one whose
back was toward me- They laughed
together for q moment, then the last
bell rang and the ships officers began
to clear the boat. l turned back to the
pier, but was brought round an instant
later by Mr.. Graham's voice.
