Franco-Nenezuelan crisis. and possible, though unexpected complications in the Moroccan conference. the week begins with little promise of news events of all unsual character.
 The critical point in the Franco Vene- zuelan situation which seemed imminent. has passed for the moment as France has announced that she will await d pro ptious time for taking such action against Venezuela as she has decided upon. It is estimated that her desire Is to await the conclusion of the Algeciras confer enee before involving herself with Vene. zuela.
 The Moroccan conference promises no very definite action, as the problems 1t is to confront are yet some way off.
