TANGIER ZONE
ATTENTION OF POWERS INVOKED British Official Wireless (Received May 12, 6.30 p.m.) RUGBY. May 10. Steps are being taken by the British Government to approach the other Powers signatory to the 1923 Tangier statute, which is the instrument governing the administration of the international zone. This course is being followed owing to the fact that it is felt that British interests in the zone and particularly in Port Tangier, where they are more important than those of any other nationality, are inadequately safeguarded. The Secretary for Foreign Affairs (Sir John Simon), questioned in Parliament, said the position was regarded as unsatisfactory. It is understood that reforms will be sought in the financial and judicial services.
