OF Discussion.
The Berlin Foreign Office Regards u
satisfactory Issue of the Con-
ference as Assured

Berlin, March 1.-Priyate CONVERSE
lions between the German and French
ENJOYS at Algeclras have brought them
almost TO an agreement on the Mo-
roccan police controversy, so near. i'm
deed, that the foreign Office here re-
CARDS a satisfactory issue of the con-
ference as assured. Germany 1t Is
understood, accepts France and Spain
as having the officers best fitted for
policing Morocco, and France accepts
international control in principle, un-
dertaking TO supply adequate guaran-
tees that the police shall be interna-
tional in character. 1t Is the specific
form OF these guarantees that remains
unsettled and continues to be the sub
ject for discussion. 1t Is likely that
an international inspectorship will be
created, consisting Of a single officer
OF repute from power other than
France, Spain or Germany. one de-
tail which continues to be discussed Is
the propriety of the inspector being To-
Gated In neutralized harbor. The
ministers of the powers will also ex-
ercise general supervision over the po-
lice.
NEWS NOT CONFIRMED.
Paris, March THE foreign office
says II is unable to confirm the an
nouncement from Berlin that Germany
Is about to yield at Algecrlas by con-
ceding French and Spanish officers for
the Moroccan police.
However, unofficial reports today indi-
caet that Germany Is disposed to mako
concessions having the effect OF set
Ting the Franco-German controversy.
one Berlin report says that Germany
will ooncede the policing OF one Mo-
roccfr port by the French, the other
ports remaining under international po-
lice. The foreign Office here specifically
repudiates this report saying that the
concession of a single port would not
be accepted II proposed.
Another report received here from
Berlin says that Germany will concede
the police to France and Spain Il they
Will agree to appointment of an In
spector general from a neutral power.
The officials here say that the latter
condition is unacceptable. They point
out that a mandate to French and
Spanish officers would not be effective,
II a neutral general was placed over
them as the general would counteract
the French and Spanish authority.
While the foreign office sees some d.
fficulties remaining, II is evident that
the pacific overtures from Berlin dmn-
ish the gravity of the crisis and open
the way 20 possible solution in which
Germany will concede the police and
France viii concede the bank.
