GOVERNMENTS STAND IS FIRM

Paris. Feb. 24.-The officials of the foregn office emp-lasize Premier Rou- vier's statement in the chamber of de- puties yesterday that France wants peace only on conditions assuring her rights and dignity as summing up ths governments intentions at Alge- ciras.
 This is coupled with the view that the governments rights and dignity have already reached the furthest iiua- it's of concession and that therefore from the standpoint of the government authorities 1t is preferable that tha agony of the conference be not pro- longed as France prsrers to continue the status quo in Morocco as though the conference had not tried to deal with the question.
 This attitude does not involve any thought of immediate war. On the con- trary the highest authorities here are firmly convinced that the failure of the conference will not bring war; first, because their advices show that Germany does not want war. and. sec ondly, because French ofiicial and pub lie opinion is strongly against war. It Is therefore the expectation in govern ment circles that the deadlock in Algeciras will drag along until dis- agreement is manifest and then some colorless action will be taken. leaving the mann tEanCO~GtEtlAu ASSA0 " NA0hE 1t was before the conference was de- cided upon.
 The effect Of this will be to establish the status quo which France prefers to anything short of the conference con. cadinE her paramount position in Mos rocco.
 Unrest fin Europe.
 While 1t is recognized that the failS ure of the conference would not preci' ngf ta fssefsaaIfafA WAE i1 WH1Il& have FIAaco-German relations in state of uneasiness, threatening serious future complications.
 However, in government quarters here 1t is said that European unrest ig preferable to Frances surrendering all her rights and expectations in Morcc- co. Accordingly government Cpinion took a strongly peseimlstie turn today and foreshadowed the dissolution of the conference without definite de- cision.
 Concerning the possibility of Euro pean unrest leading to eventual war, some important information has been received in high quarters. This shows that Austria's place in the triple alii- ance does not assure her taking up arms against France. as it is dennitely known that the Hungarian troops would not partioipate in an Austrian move nent against France. owing to Hun- gary not sharing Austrias support ok Germany on the Moroccan question-
 The oflcIals are also firmly convinced that the underlying cause of Germanys course at Algeciras is a desire to break up the Anglo French understanding but it is asserted that tho failure of the conference will leave the Anglo-Frsnca accord as strong as ever In this con- uection King Edwards coming passage through Paris on his way to BiarrisS causes comment in the newspapers, which assert that the king will see President Fallieres and Premier Rou- vier in order to give renewed evidence OF the vitality of hr AnElo-Frncn agreement.
