The Times of Tuesday published from its Madrid corre- spondent

a forecast of the agreement between France and Spain as to their interests in Morocco. Spain has obtained a noticeable concession in the possession of Mount Ghani, which has hitherto been outside her zone, about four miles from Alcazar. As the mountain commands the town, Spain undertakes not to fortify it. In response to the demand of France for concessions to compensate her for her transference of territory in the Congo to Germany, Spats. relinquishes the greater part of her southern zone. She retains, however, Ifni and a strip of coast, said to be 100 kilometres long. This strip is of no value, but it seems that the Canary Islanders requested that the coast opposite the islands should remain Spanish.
