The Austrian plan gives the sultan su-
preme command OF the police and he is to
select French officers for the police at
four ports, namely Tangier SAM, Rabat
and Tetuan, and Spanish officers for three
ports. namely Mogador. Larache and Ma
zagan. The sultan finally is to select an
inspector general of police from Switzer-
land or Holland. The inspector general
/, is TO have his headquarters at Casablanca,
on the Atlantic coast, and is to command
the Franco-Spansh police at the other
4 ports.
The Moroccan plan makes the sultan su-
