Tangier, Morocco, Aug. "a report
that the greater part of the so-called
Anghera country region in the extreme
northwestern part of Africa, occupied
by Anghera tribesmen, has been pur-
chased by American interests. has
aroused great excitement in diplomatic
circles here. The territory not only
has vast intrinsic value, from the
standpoint of capitalists wishing to ex-
plot it's natural resources, but poll
tically and stratagically it is immense
ly important. 1t has a forty mile coast
line on the Mediterranean, stretching
from Tangier to Jebel Musa, noun
tain near Ceuba, facing the Rock Of
Gibraltar across the straits of Gibraltar,
and considered strategically equal to a
British mountain fortress. Jebel Musa
has an elevation of 2,7O0 feet and could
be converted into second Gibralter.
The reported purchase has been ef-

that it will block the plans Of Spain in
