"-- I T Interest in Africa - p` f I Attempts to force the hand of the} British government by questions as to its probable course in Morocco in the event of the complete, withdrawal `of the Spanish forces, have. not been suc- cessful. Spokesmen for the govern- . ment point` out. that Britain, France and Italy as well as Spain, are all dir- -ectlyconcerned in any developments l in North Africa. It is therefore im- pgasible for Britain to commit herself l to any line, of action _at the present time. Obviously that is about the` onlyanswer that could be given. As far as is known, Spain has not asked ` any '_of. the powers for asslstanceor to intervene. But if the Spaniards do withdraw some interesting develop- ments may be expected. Rumors of German plotting with Spain regarding - concessions `in Morocco persist. They ` may be based Jon the facility, with 1 which Germany brings trouble upon 2 S herself rather than upon any real move in a sphereswhere she will not be wel- corned. ~ _ Mi ` `I , vu -urn -ago `I9 Iuy The courts of France are noted for their grave deliberations on `matters which do. not usually find their way into the halls. of justice. `A courtlin Paris has`just decided that a.` fresh egg isrone that is not more than two weeks old in the summer time and three in the winter.

This was declined by - the Japanese government and probably very wisely. It would be difficult for the authorities to preserve order at some of the ports`which the American fleet would-visit, owing to racial an- tipathy for one thing. and antag onis m `engendered by the press of both coun- - tries. for_ another. Japan has also officially expressed its disapproval of the Singapore base project, not by `note butin speech by its premier.

From time to time revelations made by magazine writers and other pub- licists in the United States have shock- ed th country with their. portrayals of a state of affairs `that might well belong to the dark ages. Now that a `federal law is proposed there are many societies, including some women's ` organizations, which have been infect- ed with false ideals to the extent of. arousing their opposition to the aboli- tion of a slavery as loathsome as that whiclrexisted before the American .civil war.
