MOROCCO.

FRANCE AND GERMANY

By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright United I'lesa Association. Paris, August 5.

The paper “Debats” declares that Berlin is moving heaven and earth to make London believe that a satisfactory basis of agreement in regard to Morocco has been found. It is believed the altered basis of the agreement means the Gorman abandonment of its French Congo claims for a more extensive hinterland territory.

The Pan-German press is indulging in jeremiads at the supposed humiliation of Germany. Tho papers denounce tho Kaiser, and Herr Hollweg and Herr von. Kiderlin-Wacchter for a change of policy.

Tho Berlin Post insists there has been a change of policy which must force tho framers of the Agadir coup into retirement. It concludes with an attack on tho Kaiser, whom it holds responsible. The Zukunft (Herr Harden’s journal) also makes an attack, and dubs the Kaiser “Wilhelm the Peaceful.” Paris, August (I Lo Matin states that France’s compensation to Germany is confined to the frontier of Kamorun and the French Congo. There is no longer any question of ceding Congaland and Tahiti. The settlement of Germany’s economic interests in Morocco remains to bo dealt with. Berlin, August 5. Router’s correspondent at Berlin reports that enquiries made from official sources elicited a denial that Germany asked or desires Tahiti or any French Islands in the South Pacific. Papers are protesting that Germany should be permitted to lay hands on tho Congo. Melbourne, August G. Mr Hughes received a cable from the Now Zealand Government suggesting a joint remonstrance to the Imperial Government against the suggested transfer of Tahiti to Germany. Mr Hughes replied that no specific information had reached him. but if it should be shown that the cotsiou of Tahiti to the German Crown .s one of tho conditions of international icadjustment, ho would bo ready to ■ i mmunicate the joint protest io the Hon. L. Harceurt, Secretary for the Colonies.
