SPAIN MOVES IN TROOPS
Reinforcements For Morocco (Rec. 8 p.m.) MADRID, December 1. Several battalions of Spanish troops are understood to have sailed today for the Spanish enclave of Ifni. Southern Morocco, and to reinforce outposts in the Sahara further south. Spanish troops have been fighting Moroccan irregulars in Ifni for a week and it is thought the Government plans to establish a pool of reserves on the Canary Islands against. any future emergency in her African possession. But the emphasis appears to be on diplomatic activity rather than on military operations. A Spanish Army Ministry communique last night said cleaningup operations in Ifni were continuing. Tension between Spain and Morocco seems to have lessened as a result of the return of the Moroccan Ambassador, Mr Mohamed Aouad. and his long talk yesterday with the Spanish Foreign Minister. Mr Fernando Maria de Castiella. Mr Aouad was recalled to Rabat last Monday for talks with his Government and returned on Thursday
