THE ISSUES
AS Defined by the Associated Press
Advices-WiIl France Be Allowed
to Retain Her Special Interests in
Morocco.-The Program.

Algeciras, Spain, Jan. 16.-The
Moroccan conference has opened.
The Duke of Almodovar, Spanish for
eign minister, delivered the speech
of welcome 1t was noticed that the
French and British delegates drove
to the conference together. Great an
imation prevailed. The American del
egation arrived at the hall following
the Spanish, French, German and
British delegations.
Herr Won Radowitz, chief of the
German mission, proposed the Duke
of Almodovar as president Of the
conference, and the other countries
represented, including the United
States, seconded the proposal.
The Duke of Almodovar was unan-
imously elected president, and the
conference adjourned at 3:55 until
tomorrow. Ambassador White was
most satisfied with the result of the
meeting, as the Duke of Amodovar
in his address emphasized the neces7
sity of independence of Morocco and
the "open door, in which he was inn
mediately and strongly seconded by
the French and German delegates.
On the eve of the Moroccan confer
ence it is well to define the essential
issues presented, as they will clearly
indicate the general scope of the
meeting and chief danger of the is
sues involved.
On September 2Sth. last M. Rou-
kier, for France, and Prince Radolin
for Germany, reached an agreement
on the exact program of the confer
ence. This program is quite short, as
it was part of Rouvier's skillful di-
plomacy to bring the conference wi
thin the closest possible limits The
program agreed upon is as follows.
The two governments are in accord
in proposing to the Sultan of Morocco
the following program:
First The organization by inter
national accord of police, except for
the Algerian frontier
Second Surveillance and repres-
sion of contraband arms except along
the Algerian frontier.
Third Financial reforms with the
creation of a state bank with privi-
leges of issuing currency.
Fourth Study of customs and
new means of raising revenues.
The agreement contains some mi
nor features, but the foregoing are
the essential questions to be presen-
ted in the conference.
France throughout the controversy
and up to the opening of the confer
ence has maintained that she has a
special or privileged position in Mo
rocco. That is the vital question
about to be considered, for the ques-
tions of contraband and customs are
largely matters of detail If the spe-
cial position of France is recognized
then the coming conference will turn
over to France the organization of
the police and military and the sur
veillance of contraband arms
In short, all of the questions involv-
ed hinge upon the main question as
to whether the special position of
France is to be clearly recognized.
