TANGIER ZONE
MAINTENANCE OF NEUTRAL STATUS. BRITAIN KEEPING WATCH. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, November 5. Concerning the report that an Italian submarine has been chased by the R.A.F. and British naval vessels into Tangier, it, is recalled that the status of Tangier underwent a change in June when, with the consent of the British and French Governments. Spanish troops occupied the zone. An assurance was given at that time that the neutrality of the zone would be ■ observed and that its international administration would be maintained. Since then the international regime has been functioning normally. Various matters have been under, discussion, including the restoration of the pesa as legal tender, upon which agreement has already been reached in principle.
However, on November 3, the British representatave in Tangier was informed that /the Spanish authorities had found it necessary to suspend the functioning of the Committee of Control and Legislative Assembly, but it was understood that the Spanish military commander would maintain both the neutrality of the zone and the international administration. Further clarification of this step is awaited, upon which his Majesty’s Government will define its attitude.
