Rebels be Warned

Spain

In a pronunciamento to the Moorish rebels whom Spain has been fighting intermittently for twelve years, Director Primo Rivera, All Highest, said:

1) Spain does not intend to evacuate Morocco

2) A strong line of defense will be set up between tribes that have submitted to the Sultan of Morocco and those in rebellion against him

3) From the defense line, punitive expeditions, accompanied by airplanes, will operate against all who oppose Spain and the Sultan.

Last week's fighting in the Protectorate* was, on the whole, indecisive; but it was clear that the Spanish troops were making progress-- said to be due to the work of airplane units in spotting the enemy. Advances on Xauen and Shishawen were begun.
