World War, 1914-1918
Germany renounces all her rights, titles, and privileges under the Act
of Algeciras and the Franco-German agreements of 1909 and 1911, and
under all treaties and arrangements with the Sherifian Empire. She
undertakes not to intervene in any negotiations as to Morocco between
France and other Powers, accepts all the consequences of the French
protectorate and renounces the capitulations; the Sherifian Government
shall have complete liberty of action in regard to German nationals, and
all German protected persons shall be subject to the common law. All
movable and immovable German property, including mining rights, may be
sold at public auction, the proceeds to be paid to the Sherifian
Government and deducted from the reparation account. Germany is also
required to relinquish her interests in the State Bank of Morocco. All
Moroccan goods entering Germany shall have the same privilege as French
goods.
EGYPT
[Sidenote: To recognize British Protectorate over Egypt.]
Germany recognizes the British Protectorate over Egypt declared on
December 18, 1914, and renounces as from August 4, 1914, the
capitulation and all the treaties, agreements, etc., concluded by her
with Egypt. She undertakes not to intervene in any negotiations about
Egypt between Great Britain and other Powers. There are provisions for
jurisdiction over German nationals and property and for German consent
to any changes which may be made in relation to the Commission of Public
Debt. Germany consents to the transfer to Great Britain of the powers
given to the late Sultan of Turkey for securing the free navigation of
the Suez Canal. Arrangements for property belonging to German nationals
in Egypt are made similar to those in the case of Morocco and other
countries. Anglo-Egyptian goods entering Germany shall enjoy the same
treatment as British goods.
TURKEY AND BULGARIA

not dealt with elsewhere.
