DEADLOCK is SAME
IN OPEN CONFERENCE
As It Was During Private Ex
changes Of Views.
IN FRANco-eERMAN AFFAIRS

France Declines Equality In Negotla
tion of Police, Claiming 1t as Mere
Ruse to Undermine Frances Legti
mate Position in Morocco.
Algeciras, Spain, March 6.-The po
| sitions as defined before the confer
| ence show that the Franco-German
deadlock is practically the same In
open conference as it was during the
| private exchanges of views. The text
Of the speech of Herr Won Radowitzs
head of the German delegation al
Mondays session, given out, concludes
as follows:
The powers being equally interest
ed in police organization should equal
ly participate in it."
France specificately declines equal
ity in the negotiations of the police
| claiming it is a mere ruse to under
mine Frances legitimate special posi-.
ton in Morocco. The text of the
speech of M. Revolt, chief of the
French mission, reads:
The internationalization of the po,
lice would give no guarantee or order
and presents grave difficulties. We
ask Tor recognition of the legitimate
interests of France as a Musselman
power in north Africa and our spec::ccl
interests in the maintenance of order
| in Morocco
M. Revoils speech also gave
Frances first exact plan for the police,
showing that the rank and file should
consist of two thousand Moroccans un-
der sixteen French and Spanish Off
GERS. Germany's chief objection is
that military bodies officered by the
Frenchmen would be stationed at four
of the Moroccan ports on the Allan
tic, thus giving France a dominating
influence on the Atlantic coast. The
positions of France and Germany are
SO diametrically opposed that the del
egates see little hope OF recopciling
them unless Emperor William person
ally intervenes.
