MOROCCO.
PEACE SOUGHT. By Cable —Press Association —Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association (Received December 23, 10.15 p.m.) PARIS, December 22. Captain Gordon Canning, special correspondent of the “Daily Express' 1 with Abd-el-Krim, arrived in Paris in the hope of discussing Moroccan peace with M. Briand, who refused to meet Captain Canning, pointing out that the pact must be jointly discussed with France and Spain. Captain Canning states that Abd-el-Krim is read}' to acknowledge the Sultan’s spiritual authority if France and Spain will grant autonomy analogous to that of the British Dominions. He is ready to recognise the principles, of the open door in Morocco, but demands the evacuation of- Adjir. In return he will abandon his claim to Tetuari, and the Spaniards will thus have Melilla, Ceuta, Larache, and the hinterland for twenty-five kilometres. Abd-el-ICrim’s letter does not give Captain Canning authority to enter into negotiations.
