THE CONTROL OF TANGIER
POWERS REACH AGREEMENT DEMANDS OF THE ITALIANS NO DIFFICULTY EXPECTED By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, April 8. The Paris correspondent of the Times states that, after three weeks secret conferences, British, French, Italian and Spanish experts have worked out a unanimous scheme for executing Tangier, and have now begun to consider Italy’s demands. It is understood that Italy originally wished the discussions to include her Mediterranean aspirations, but her present demands refer only to Tangier. She originally desired the appointment of an Italian officer to the gendarmerie, an assistant fo the police chief, a health officer to the municipality, and a judge to the Mixed Court. There would have been little chance of the acceptance of these demands, but they have already been greatly modified. France will retain the predominant position in Tangier, controlling the port and rail terminus. A semi-official assurance is given that there will be no difficulty in meeting Italy’s wishes, as the French policy is directed towards the Atlantic, not the Mediterranean.
