Step Will Depend on Result of jus
serand's Conferences at Washington

Algeciras, Spain, January 20-Be-
hind the screen Of amiability that en-
velops the Rlations of the ENJOYS of
the powers to the Moroccan confer
ence, rising feeling of distrust is OBJ
servable, due, seemingly, to the unwil-
lingness of both France and Germany
to define their positions beyond reaf-
6rming now somewhat wearisomely
their adherence to the open door, the
sovereignty of the sultan and the in
tegrity of his territories. There Is a
feeling among the ambassadors Of the
less interested powers that trouble is
in sight. The Moroccan delegates nave
become conscious of this. and take sat
isfaction therefrom.
The committee examining into the
question of contraband has completed
the draft of an agreement which will
he submitted to the conference Mon
day.
The draft provides that the various
powers pass laws prohibiting their cit
liens exporting arms to Morocco, and
the coast patrol against contraband is
restricted to MOroccO's territorial wa
ters, thus avoiding the search or seiz-
ure of vessels upon the high seas.
1t is apparent that the theory Of the
agreement is that Morocco will ad
minister the coast patrol, as the draft
does not state who will be charged
with this duty, and therefore the del
icate Franco German question, con-
cerning whether France alone or all
the powers will exercise surveillance,
is deferred until the question of po-
lice has been examined
