Historical Description
Morocco: this Kingdom is divided into seven Provinces, Hea, Sus, the Region of Morocco, Gazzula, Duccala, Hascora, and Tedles.
Towns of note are Tongovista, Fisedet, and Massa, abounding in Amber.
MOROCCO, the largest of the Barbary States, has an area estimated at 314,000 square miles. A French Protectorate is now recognised over the greater part of Morocco by a treaty signed in 1912. The rest forms a Spanish protectorate, except a small zone at Tangier which is international. Morocco is said to have great mineral treasures, but all the natural resources have been much neglected. Grain, skins and eggs are the chief exports and there can be little doubt that, with the opening up of the country, copper, lead, petroleum and other valuable deposits will be found in considerable quantities. The Imports from the United Kingdom in 1920 were valued at £4,938,246, the Exports to this country being £1,647,136. Total population about 7,000,000. The population of the chief towns is as follows : Fez, 120,000 ; Casablanca, 80,000; Morocco, 80,000; and Mesquinez, 56,000. Casablanca is now the principal port.
