National Secretary Wilson was today

which Dolan is quoted saying that the
International executive board had refused
to indorse the proposed strike.
well, l am not talking about what hap

that 1t Is not the function of the national
executive board to declare, to fndorse or to
condemn a strike. That is done by the in

The MOROCCAN ISSUE
DELEGATES TO CONFERENCE DIS

ALGECIRAS, Spain, February THE
delegates to the Moroccan conference to-
day discussed the customs duties of Moroc-
CO and settled number Of details refer

France Will Not Relax Influence.
PARIS, February THE tone of the Ger
man comments relative to the question Of
the control of the police Of Morocco is
arousing considerable attention in minis
terial, circles, where 1t is remarked that the
suggestion that the sultan be permitted to
organize the police under the control OF the
powers is doomed to failure beforehand
France will not delax her determination to
retain paramount influence in Morocco. She
would not consent to any arrangements
whereby this position could possibly suffer.
Diplomats here regard the discussion as
being futile until Germanys definite pro-
posals are made known to the delegates at
Algeciras. France is satisfied to await
this, reserving arguments in favor Of her
view until a tangible proposal calls forth
her reply.
Berlin Concern Over the Outcome.
BERLIN, February while government
officials maintain an outwardly hopeful at
titude regarding the conference at Algeciras
the indications are that much concern is
felt about the outcome. Even failure to
reach an agreement on the police question
is regarded as probable. This inference is
drawn from the fact that the press has
len discussing the probable results of
failure to reach an agreement. These pa
pers assert that a failure would not involve
the danger of war so far as Germany is
concerned and they argue that France
would never go to war on account of Mo-
rocco. These papers interpret the warning
Of the Havas Agency against excessive
optimism as proving the pacific intentions
OF the Paris government.
The result of failure to reach an agree
ment would be, according to German in
spired utterances, that Moroccan affairs
would continue to be regulated under the
arrangement of 1880. But more critical OBJ
servers point out that the controversy of
1905 originated despite that arrangement
and that the conference being due to Ger
man initiative its failure would involve seri-
Gus damage to German prestige.
The Hamburger Nachrichten says fall
ure of the conference would intensity the
friction between Germany and France and
compromise Germany's position.
