England Tangier risk looms in North African war
England fears Tangier may become a target as it resists any power seizing the coast opposite Gibraltar. Spain accuses Morocco’s Abd el Krim of arming in the Tangier neutral zone and hints at force to prevent seizure. Italy may join if tensions rise amid a widening North African conflict. In China Shanghai strike fallout draws blame on English police and officials. Britain pushes for foreign powers to yield control to Chinese authorities. In Washington, a Senate contest follow-up uses Steck to challenge Brookhart, with Cummins’ position at stake.
