To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD- CÔNQUERORS OF THE MOORS From what history teaches us, Spain has the historical right to occupy Morocco be- fought cause she Saracens TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:- "E. P." seems long of sympathy for Spain and Germany but short of his- torical knowledge, so permit me to quote from the London Graphic of September 16, which arrived here yesterday:- "It is nearly twelve hundred years since their (the Moors') conquering progress was first stayed by Charles Martel on the banks of the Loire (France), but for which, as Gibbon has said, Moslem doctors. might to-day be teaching philosophy and mathematics at Oxford and expounding the Koran in the Sorbonne. The curious thing is that it should have fallen to the Flemish enthrall the Moors in their last retreat." And really it is not even "curious," but the most natural sequence of events in the world! If "E. F." had contended that Tripoli rightfully belongs to Italy I would agree with him, because both places were once in the Roman Empire, and Italy is not, like Spain, "a dying nation"-the Italians formed during centuries the,bulwark im- peding the onslaught of the whole Mussul- man world, and because the Spaniard alone has the ability 'to colonize in the true sense of the word-not only to conquer, but to thrive in tropical countries. This peculiar immunity is due to the bacillus Saracensis-result of the inter- marriage between Spaniards and Saracens during the time Spain was partly subdued by the latter. France, England and the newest competi- tor, Germany, certainly are able to con- quer colonies, but as soon, as they try to şettle down conditions are against them and they slowly disappear. Whatever the outcome of the Franco- German controversy concerning Morocco, both must remember that Spain is deserv- ing the privilege of concessions because the Spaniard alone among all European nations will thrive in Morocco.
