To the foreign offices of France, England, Spain and Italy, Secretary Kellogg sent a note assuring those countries, which were about to confer on the administration of Tangier in Morocco, that the U. S., though not represented at the conference, expects continuation of the "open-door" policy in the internationalized part and zone of Tangier-equal rights, opportunities and protection for all-comers.

That country, to protect its communications with India, has a prime interest to serve in bottling up the Mediterranean Sea, which it does from Gibraltar; Tangier opposite, under international control, being "everybody's dog is nobody's dog," and therefore does not count. Whatever Sir Austen may have said, it seems a logical deduction to suppose that he aimed at increasing Britain's hold on the Mediterranean and possibly did offer Spain much needed tariff concessions in return for her aid in strengthening the British position...
