Tho Algeclras conference on Moroccan affairs will continue this week to be the focua point in international Interest. Tho question of tho Moroccan bank having boon practically passed over, tho con ferees will next consider the most Im portant point, the policing of the coun try, Should agreement on thlB ques tion be posslblo an early solution of tho whole problem and an adjourn ment of tho conference may bo looked for.

Howover, the trend of recent events has Indicated that If any sottlcjnent Is reached it would most likely bo because Franco would mako concessions with reference to tho bank question nnd Germany In re turn would adopt a less uncompromis ing attitude concerning tho police.
