MOORS CO-OPERATE WITH FRANCO
(Received 9, 11 a.m.) SALAMANCA, Aug. 8. Bearing gifts and greetings from his brother, the "Blue Sultan" of Ifni, the Moorish Prince Sini Habomet Liman called on General Franco. The yisit is regarded as an event of some significanee, ^ since the Ifni tribe have hitherto maintained a markedly troublesome attitude and indepen'dence. It is considered that this is the fruits of General Franco's pqliey of treating the Moroccan territories as nqt merely valuable but as' vital adjuncts of Spain. Ifni has proved valuable to General Franco as an air base and may become a station in the all-Spanish air route from Canarias tp South America. Prince Mahomet plans to visit all the Ifni contingents in General Fran, co's native axmy in Spain, of which the Ifni sharp-slxoQters are the crack contingent. He swore his tribal fidelity to General Franco, who promised better conditions.
