The special correspondent of the Daily Express, who is with

Abd-el-Krim in Morocco, reported in Wednesday's paper that Abd-el-Krim had stated that he had many times informed Marshal Lyautey of his desire for a friendly agreement with France, but that he had never received an answer. Abd-el-Krim then said to the correspondent : " If France wants peace we arc ready for peace now. If France wants war we are ready to r•ht on for ever." He explained that he had not attacked the French but the French had attacked him. That subject, however,, leads to a barren controversy. The important fact to emphasize is that there is now a breathing space in Morocco, and that in the interests of both sides it ought to be used for tnakini Peace. We have written about this in a leading article. -
