Mohammed's expansion is accompanied by an increasing disenchantment with the French. The palace announced last week that at long last the King had become "reconciled" to Abd el Krim, the fanatically anti-French Moroccan rebel of the 1921-26 Rif wars, who until now has preferred to live in exile in Egypt rather than to bow to a King he insisted was nothing more than a French puppet. Abd el Krim, now a withered 76, will henceforth receive a pension from the Moroccan government for his past "inestimable services."
