tion a this chain is my set in Tangier named
'0A4 full-time operator is in daily contact/ with
dibpaltar? Casablanca and Tunis Other sets
!Ave been Placed in the field are as follows:
LINCOLN at Casablanca in daily touch with
MilltAY4
CiiLUMBUS at Tunis in touch with Malta for
operational intelligence.
PILGRIM at Tunis in regular contact with
Gibraltar and MIDWAY.
YANKEE at Algiers and FRANKLIN at Oran.
These two sets have been unable to
establish communication with MIDWAY
for lack of trained operators.
Three other sets are waiting to be placed out
whenever operators can be fc-and.
The sut!silssful operation and extension of this
infant ObiliiL of communications depends entirely upon a
trat=;24 instructor available to travel from one station to
another. The W. T. transmitters are delicate inst ?ents
Whil&_cannot be worked by an amateur. It is remarkable
that Tunis and Casablanca have been able to establish
regular communication without technical help. They were
fortunate in finding trained telegraphers, but the real
credit is due to Mr. Doolittle and Mr Springs in Tunis
and to Vice-Consular Reid in Casablanw. Who solved the
to-Chace' and eodkig problems by their own resourcefulness.
TOis as transmitted valuable intelligence to Malta regard-
ing the departure and course of ships carrying war materials
to the Axis in Libya. Casablanca similarly has transmitted
to MIMI and thence to Gibraltar spot news about Fremdh
naval, merchant Ship and airplane movements of immediate
interest to operations. The extension of this vital service

today.

,(2) There is also a new strategio railway from Tebessa Uaidra
- Iasoerine Nriana Melaoui Gess, MAknassy and then to the important
. junction at Orabaia and then to Gabes. There are vsriouo short
lines whioh are meroly feeders for the two main lines.

Supplies from Algiers go on the now military rond from Tobeosa
Kimmins Maknassy Gafsa to Gabes and then south.
(a) Shipping hugs the ?oast from here to Mahdia and giving
Orkennah a wide berth, go to island of Djorba and then to Tripoli
or Zouara.
The sentiments of the population are as follows:
(a) Italians. These are willing or frightened into giving
information or other help to the Italians by throats to take rove
on their people in Italy. The Italian sews here dro anti?kresclat
but only in sentiment. They oannot be depended upon for helps
There are about 100,000 Italians in all.

4 Thera are also about 800 Maltese here, very loyal
and 1it4,a certain amount of "guts".
(e) Military here are about 75%, pro-British but not pro-
Dok Gaulle, but, like all soldiers will not move without their
Chiefs and were greatly upset when Weygand left.
(f) Navy officers are about 60% anti-British.
Sainted men are a problem, difficult to say what they
would do.
The air force is about 75% pro-British.
In conclusion I believe from what I can gather here, that
if lertain unpleasant accidents were to occur, those whose
sentiments are with us would be pleased and encouraged as many
have wondered why nothing has been done before. Those who
are against us are against us anyway. But it would uncoubtedly
have a very salutc-7 effect on laborers, dock workers, etc.
and would probably croate strikes and ashortage of Is.bor*
IV - (a)The most 7ulnerable point of the docks in Tunis is
the canal. It is only about 21 meters wide and connects the
port of La Goulette at the entrance with the Port of Tunis
itself. All the cranes, railroad sidings and large piers are
in the port of Tunis, so that if a ship were sunk in this canal
and the canal itself destroyed, Tunis would be useless as a
large-sized port and rail connection, and the Port of Tunis
would be praJtically useless except for such stuff as could be
unloaded under ideal weather conditions at the entrance in
La Goulette.
(b) Road blocking4
;Wu coast road. There are no cliffs, bridges or via-
ducts along this road which, if blown up, would block it for more
than 24 hours. At Sousse this road branches and there is an
inland road pausing through El Diem. The coastal road passes
through MOnastir tideldir, both roads come into Sfax* The cliffs
alight be blown up on the coast road but there would still be the
IOW route. From Sfftx to Gabes is a coast road with no import-
ant possible )%ottlenecks. There is another inland road from
Tobriss4, Feriana, Gafsa to Gabes. This Is a new military road
and possible bottlenecks have been avoided. In view of this,
any tampering with road traffic would have to be done by destroy-
ing trucks or loads en route.
) Sallroad point* whert bottlenecks vould be destroyed
