What augments this irony is that the foundation of Raisuli's
great wealth was subsidies from Spain. Now they will be used against the Spaniards. It remains to be wen whether Abdel Krim can consolidate his position. If he does, he may, as we have suggested in our leading article, become a rival of Ali Pasha, of Mehemet Ali, or of the Khalifa. It is needless to say that we sincerely hope that no such thing will happen. The last thing we want is trouble for either Spain or France. We may add that Wednesday's news seems to indicate, not any augmenta- :ion of the pressure upon the Spanish line, but possibly a certain relief of that pressure. In this context we may note the very interesting photographs of the Riff Campaign in Wednesday's Morning Post. Like all the Morning Post's illustrations, they are excellently pro- duced.
