Last Sunday M. Pichon, when unveiling a memorial to Dr.

Mauchamp, who was assassinated three years ago at Marakesh, defined French policy in Morocco. According

to the report in the Times he said Nothing would be easier for us than to obtain further military success. But as military operations are at all events unnecessary, they are in principle to be condemned. If the Maghzen loyally fulfils its engagements towards us, and if the tribes over which its authority extends refrain from menacing the security of our posts, we, too, shall refrain from taking the offensive and shall confine ourselves to repressing whatever provocations may arise." We welcome this clear declaration of a policy which we are sure is the only safe and wise one for France.
