The sultan Of Morocco, Dec. 81. received
in audience Herr Vasscl. the German con-
sui al Fez. and talked over the general
situation.
II am willing" said the sultan, TO
treat three or four powers equally with
Germany and Great Britain. on account
OF their trade. and France and spain ne
cause they are neighbors.
The sultan Inquired whether the French
minister could claim general mandate
or not and the consul replied that Ger
many had not granted such mandate
The sultan said he was pleased TO receive
this Information. .
Herr Vassel in a dispatch dated April
2l on the sultan's state OF mind after the
declara tion' Of NJ. Delcasse, the former
French minister In the senate, said Null
declaration that the Moroccan govern
ment has asked Frances advice ana
would follow It. During the audience the
sultan cried:
"Rut those are absolute untruths.'
Herr Vassel continued: Il told him also
that the French deny that M 81. Rene
Tailandeer (the French minister at Fez)
claimed a European mandate. The sultan
said:
The French expressed themselves TO
me I'm that sense.

by France said that carrying them out
would have made Morocco economically
dependent on France.
