MOROCCANS SEEK INDEPENDENCE
CLAIM SUBMITTED TO U.N. Z
(Rec. 9 p.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 28. The National Party of the French Protectorate of Morocco made a formal bid for Moroccan independence in a memorandum submitted to-day to the United Na: ions. The memorandum, which claims to represent the views of 3,000,000 Moroccans, asserts that “the once great sovereign State of Morocco, which enjoyed freedom and independence for 13 centuries, has been deprived of all rights and enslaved by the French.”
Morocco became a French protectorate in 1912.
