ROCCO AFFAIR.

Paris, Jan. 9. - Public uneasiness
over the Moroccan conference has un-
dergone a distinct improvement. This
is due mainly to the confident atti-
tude Of the officials of the foreign Of
flee, who consider the selection by the
Italian government Of Marquis
Visconti Venosta to head it's delega-
ton as strengthening the position of
France. 1t is evident that the officials
hold the view that If France can Sc
cure the support of the great powers
having tangible possessions in the
Mediterranean and in Morocco, 1t will
be difficult for Germany to stand
Against the Force
of this moral influence. Therefore,
Italy's selection of the Marquis
Visconti Venosta, who was n of the
earliest advocates of the Franco.
Italy entente, strengthens the govern.
ment's expectation of the united sup.
port of the leading Mediterranean
powers.
The martial tone Of the press has
considerably diminished, and the sen.
sational branch of it no longer prints
alarmist reports of the frontier prep
arations. None the less, the public
and the press continue, though with
perative need of completing military
preparations.
Now that the French delegates are
preparing to start for Algesiras there
is evidence of the greatest firmness
in
UNFOLDING the French
position, the essential feature OF
which is that France, through her
geographical proximity to Morocco,
which is analogous to that of the po-
sition of the United States toward
Cuba, and through her vast Algerian
borders, is justly entitled to have a
special and privileged position in Mo.
rocco.
Germany has never clearly yielded
the claim of France to a special posi-
ton in Morocco. This ;s the vital is
sue, and the minor questions regard
ing police, customs, finance and on
traband can be adjusted once 1t is
definitely settled whether France has
a special and privileged position.
If the French position is upheld,
the conference, it is expected, will
charge France with the police, Gus
toms and other duties. Against this
Germany Will Seek
to secure international control of the
police, the customs and other matters,
thus giving all nations, including
Germany, the same status in Morocco
as that of France.
The French delegates will be sent
without the slightest thought of yield
ing Or compromising the essential
principles of Frances privileged posi-.
ton, and therein lies the danger of
the Franco-German outlook.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Temps says that Germany, following
the action of the United States and
Great Britain, is sending a squadron
to Algeciras. The paper says that
squadron to the neighborhood of the
conference. 1t adds that three Brit
ish s%quadrons, the Channel, Howe and
cruiser s%quadrons, will rendezvous in
Cadiz bay, near Algeciras, in the mid
die of February.
