Before discovering the dramatic de-

difficult situation which confronted
the powers "a week ago. Germany was
aggressively and uncompromisingly

rocean settlement except on ner own
terms. She denied that France or
any other power possessed any special
rights in the independent kingdom
Of Morocco. Her contention, prma
facie, was sound in logic and ethics,
and appealed strongly to the support
of unprecedented neutrals. But Ger
many's bona fides were not above sus-
picion. Her secret designs were far
from altruistic and when they were
exposed a week ago II became neces-
sary to deal drastically. not with the
Moroccan question alone. but with a
grave crisis involving the whole Euro
