EUROPE AND MOROCCO.
The commencement of the withdrawal of French troops from Casablanca rings dqwn the curtain upon
another act in the drama of Morocco. The new regime is evidently being accepted by France and the other European Powers, as well as by Germany, and the new Sultan is to be given an opportunity to reorganise Morocco. The outcome of this id easily foreseen. Good government is not to be expected in Morocco from a Moorish ruler until the existing social conditions have undergone a complete change, of which there is no present prospect. It is inevitable that unless Europe intends to abandon its mission and to leave this adjacent part of the African Continent outside the sphere of civilisation, Morocco must sooner or latsr be brought under control. Germany is notoriously desirous of undertaking the task for the sake of territorial acquisitions and trade advantages, and the future of Morocco therefore largely depends upon the future relations which may develop between Germany, France, England, and the other interested European nations.
