SPAIN IN MOROCCO
■ -4CONTROL OF TANGIER WANTED OFFER TO FRANCE. i Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. PARIS, December 26. The ‘ Figaro’s ’ special correspondent in Madrid interviewed King Alfonso, who said: “It is to the interest of France that Tangier should be Spanish. France knows well that all the aggressive movements originate in Tangier. Abdel Krim is a case in pqimt. Tangier, if loft outside the Spanish Protectorate, will continue to be the point of departure for rebellious movements against Spain and France. The great number of square kilometres of ter|tory which I am ready to give France in return for other advantages is proof of my friendly and abiding faith in France. Our interests are the same in Morocco. Wo must pacify the entire zone as snort as possible, and to this end I hope that we may reach accord with Franco at the earliest possible date.”
