...Morocco. German trading rights in Morocco, a snag in the negotiations up to the eleventh hour, were definitely settled by France conceding full facilities for trade in all her colonies and protectorates, of which Morocco is the principal. Mindful, undoubtedly, of the attempts of Kaiser Wilhelm to create trouble in Morocco, exploits since dignified as the "incidents of Tangier and Agadir," the French refused to permit German nationals to reside in the protectorate. The assent of the Reich was obtained only after the French had agreed to suppress the 12% supertax on all German products sold to Morocco...
...countries in the territories of the other. France scores by finding a greater outlet for the commodities of which she has a superabundance and at the same time facilitating the entry of products that are badly needed, a fact that goes far to favor the Franco-German industrial cartel.

The order also included the families of Reichswehr soldiers and all civilians housed on Reichswehr property, although display of the flag in this case was made optional...
Delegates. Some 500 church dignitaries faced the pulpit of Lausanne's 11th Century cathedral- comfortable British bishops; intense Scandinavians; placid Chinamen; square-fingered Germans; bearded, broad-browed, wise-eyed patriarchs from Russia, Greece, Palestine; neat Americans-representatives of some 90 sects in 49 nations. There was one notable absentee; the Roman Catholic Church had declined to be represented, regarding itself as already the united church, infallible. A German and an Austrian prelate, however, sat by to "observe" for the Vatican...
