AMER CANS MADE PEACE
AT MOROCCAN CONFERENCE
Algeciras, Spain, March 29.—Am-
bassador White and the others of the
American delegation to the confer-
ence on Moroccan reforms were show-
ered with compliments for what is re-
garded as their sagacious interven-
tion. which has assured a solution of
the last remaining serious difficulty
of the conference and a final settle- |
inent of one of the most delicate and
complicated questions ever brought
before the conference for decision.
Austria's police proposal left the
German and French delegates still
occupying totally opposed standpoints
relative to the police inspection. Mr.
White, seeing the danger of disagree-
ment, took the initiative in an at-
tempt to save the situation, lie and
his colleagues drew up a fresh scheme
laying down the proposition that the
inspector shall report simultaneously
to both the sultan and the diplomatic
corps at Tangier, the latter having
authority to order inquiries Into the
working of the France-Spanish police
scheme, thus guaranteeing the carry
ing out of the conference's decision
and safeguarding foreign interests
and commercial transactions. The
diplomatic corps after informing the
sultan may also at any time order the
inspector to inquire and report should
any interested government present
a complaint. Before presenting this
plan to the committee Mr. White ap-
proached the principal delegates. The
British, Italian and Russian delegates
unhesitatingly api .oved the proposal
and promised it their fullest support.
.Mr. White then conferred successive-
ly with the French and German dele-
gates, who agreed as to the practica-
bility of the idea and conseuted to
submit the scheme to their respective
governments, whose concurrence they
consider to be virtually certain. In
the meantime the committee incorpo-
rated the scheme in their proposition
