STATUS OF TANGIER
International Control Sought (Rec. 7.30 pan.) IioNDON, May 30. Although official circles do not expect the immediate withdrawal of the Spanish garrison from the Tangier zone, Spaniards are negotiating with Britain, America and France for the return of Tangier to some form of international status, says the Tangier correspondent of the Associated Press. Britain and America are acting together to guard against the zone reverting to its former virtual French domination of control. It is understood that Britain and America will maintain garrisons in Tangier when, or perhaps before, a workable agreement is concluded. British and American warships will also enter Tangier as a symbol of their future intentions. Spain will find herself in the embarrassing position of haring seized something she cannot pretend to retain, and is desperately trying to save face and extricate herself from a difficult position as diplomatically as possible.
