UNITED NATIONS ASKED TO INVESTIGATE MOROCCAN SITUATION
(Ni.Z.P.A. Special Correspondent.) (Rec. 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 16. A Lake Success message states that the United Nations General Assembly has been informed that a new committee of Moroccan political parties, headed by Abd-el Krim, .proposes to lodge a formal request for termination of FrancoSpanish rule in Morocco. The committee alleges that Spain is carrying out an oppressive series of arrests to prevent criticism of the “ puppet ” Government there, and that France has instituted a series of “ false reforms ” in her Moroccan territory, in order to cover up the “ iron hand the world thought was destroyed when Hitlerism was destroyed.” The group has appealed to the United Nations to investigate the situation in both Spanish and French Morocco, and to grant the natives “ their God-given right to be free men.”
