MOROCCAN CRISIS.

DIPLOMATIC CONVERSATION. FRANCE WILLING TO NEGOTIATE WITH GERMANY. ATTITUDE OF GREAT BRITAINBy Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright (Rec. July 6, 11.30 p.m.) London, July 6. Reuter's Paris correspondent states that French politicians consider (hat Germany's action in Morocco means that she is resolved to participate in a final settlement. It is believed here that Germany would bo content with compensation elsewhere in return for relinquishing her demand for a voice in Moroccan affairs. It is authoritatively stated that Franco is quite willing to enter into conversations, is ready to listen to tho Berlin Cabinet's proposals, and is prepared to admit that otjier Powers may be called on to participate in tho negotiations. In diplomacy, however, it is pointed out, it is the constant practice, before engaging in a discussion, to define its character and aims.. Such a conversation would immediately take a favourable turn if Germany recalled her warships from Agadir after ascertaining—as would seem to be demonstrated by the facts—that the vessel's presence was unnecessary. The newspapers state that Herr von Kiderlen Waechter, the German Minister for Foreign Affairs, in ah interview at Kissingen, asked M. Cambon, the French Ambassador in Berlin, not to speak about the Act of Algeciras, which, he declared, no longer existed for Germany. Germany did not wish to remain at Agadir, but desired to negotiate with France on tho question of the Kamerun Frontier in West Africa. KING GEORGE'S FOREIGN POLICY. A BERLIN RUMOUR. (Rec. July 6, 10.30 p.m.) Berlin, July 6. Some of the newspapers hint that Anglo-German relations havo improved, and siiggest that possibly King Edward's and King George's foreign policy will not be identical. It is'stated that Germany understands that Great Britain will not send a warship to Agadir. In official circles it is affirmed that Germany seeks nothing in Morocco, and it is for France to dcclare what she is seeking.
