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.

And he can repay Reichstag favors by his control of news channels-through his own newspapers, his news agency and, now, his films...
