FRENCH ATTACK ON RIFFS.
Disquieting Symptoms of Campaign.
COMMUNIST'S SENSATIONAL STORY.
By Cablo- —Press Association—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received May 14, 10.30 p.m.) LONDON, May 13.
The Paris correspondent of the “Daily Herald” says the situation in French Morocco is really much more grave than is officially admitted. One of the disquieting symptoms is. M. Painleve’s admission that press telegrams from Morocco are being censored* . Information in military circles shows that the Riffs have not been repulsed, but only checked, with the greatest difficulty. Abd-ei-Krim is waging trench warfare, along a front of 191 miles.
The Communist Deputy (M. Berthon) reveals that during the spring of 1923, M. Poincare consenting, he saw Abd-el-Krim in Paris. The Riff leader then interviewed the Foreign Office, who offered him assistance against the Spaniards in return for his acceptance of French protectorate over the Riffs. Abd-el-Krim rejected this offer, and France thereupon joined in Spain’s attacks upon the Riffs.
