In view of the factS I
following policy in regard to a
modern equipment.
? (1) Training schools shOuIdt? istablished near
large French garrisons to instruct French' ()Moors and non-
coms in the use of modern tanks, armored cars, maehtne guns,
antiaircraft ai ! anti-tank guns and modern high-speed air-
planes.
(2) The various regiments and divisions should be
armed as soon as they are trained in order to practice divi-
:21onal tactics, etc.
(3) The arming should be done in the order of the
reliability of the various Commanding Officers. 'or instance,
any troops directly under the control and influence of General
Giraud could be armed us soon as they are trained. The same
pplies, of course, to 04X Generals chosen by Giraud. In
Morocco, i would only trust those divisional or regimental
Cowmanders selected by General Bethouard.
As for tne Corps Franc under General Motsabert,
believe this should be amongst the first to be armed for
think they will do more to speedily re-establish French mili-
tary morale than any other unit. At the same time they would
r4ot require much heavy equipment as it is our understanding
that they will serve as Commando and harassing troops.
by observing this order in arming the various French
units, we would not only guard against precious weapons falling
into half-hearted or treacherous hands but as the armed units
distin6uished themselves in action it would build up the pres-
tige of Giraud, etc. and diminish the influence of Nogues and
(kis' group.
As an example, i enclose the order issued to Colonel
cau by Genera1 AoUsabert,
In spite of these orders, Colonel Cau isou4d himself
blocked at every turn by Generals Lascroux and Desre. They
assured him of their complete willingness to help him in every
way but, if he asked for a house for offi:Iels, it had juot been
xiotioalised to the Americans. The same applies to cars, passages
on planes and gasoline.

Enclosed is the copy of a letter which has been
received by a member of the staff from a we - n orme
French lady now residing in Morocco, who has been
in the "occupied" and "unoccupied" zones of France
in the sutumn of 1942. The letter passed in private
hands through England. You will notice that in add-
ition to portraying the French reaction to American
troops, the letter also makes an interesting comment
on the political situation in North Africa.

The Americans have taken over the air fi.
their tents are set up in the woods which lie between the
1.r 's palace and the race course, just behind our house;
They go down to the town in strange little cars which are,
it seems, extremely practical. These Americans are very
discreet, and one does not hear the tread of boots - boots
- boots, as in France. (But when it comes to drinking!)
They are on the whole a fine lot, and they get on well
with the population.
At the start they went into the Medina; but one
day the veiled women aroused their curiosity and desire,
00 that they ran after them and tried to remove their veils.
Great excitement among the Arabs - complaints of the Sultan;
and the Medina was put out of bounds for the troops.
since then one has seen huge fellows at the gates
verr miable, who keep watch leaning against the wall and
gossiping with the people - so different from the Germane
who for hours Aiwa and mute, without movement, rigid
corps's Weir rifle raised to oillder, would s

In short, there is a great enthusiasm for the
Americans among the population, and young men volunteer
and go off to fight exuberantly. But unfortunately those
%ho were yesterday in authority, and wo now remain at the
head of the country, do not share these sentiments and are
very badly supported by the rest of the population.
Later you shall have more details: to sum up for
the moment it need only be remarked that the Americans have
left this country in the hands of the representatives of Laval.
France itself, meanwhile is in a terrible situation.
In the zone formerly of-lied occupied, 90% of the population
is ready for ryvolt; 5% - very powerful bedatys is,supporte&
by the Marshall, Laval, and the Germans, are,60;laborators -

Office of the Commanding General
25 August 1942.
F;ear Mr1, Donovan:
Flaase accept my sincere thanks for your thoughtfulness in
sending me Volumes 1 and 2 of your pyeliminary study on Morocco.
I an looking forward with interest to receiving Volume 3 of the
Uorocoan stu4y.
With regard to the last paragraph of your letter in which you
offer to increase your personnel, I appreciate very much your
desire to be of the greatest service. However, in view of the
greatest necessity for maintaining the utmost secrecy concerning
activities connected with North Africa, I consider it very im-
portant not to increase your personnel in that area in the near
Pature. I am aware of the trust that can be imposed on the per-
sonnel of your fine organization. However, a change in numbers,
the appearance of new faces and increased activity will surely
be noticed.
Sincerely,
tr. ffilliam J. Donovan,
Director, Stratogio Services,

MEmORANDUM TO COLION414 DONOVAN
SUBJECT: MOROCCO
In order to obtain concrete resultm out
of my nUssion, as I intend to do, it is essential for me to
have proper support In the field, and thin support I should
expect from men who are at present on duty in North aria*
and such other mon 145 we may send out and who would be
familiar with the type or work nocesoary to be done and
wIth my directivo interest La this work.
I have had a Lhorvugh discussion with Lt. Coster
who wat appointed Vice Connul tor Casablanca* I have 4160
inntructed Grwcion Browne who haa been appoInted Vioe Conwul
to Tangier. It to intended to, exchange these two men go
Browne will be of more value in Morocco than in Tangier.
In 4ddition to the above 1 have today interm
vied D Coon, profeamor of anthropology at Harvard
Ut?4Lty, who has had varied and valuable experionoe
-tont(' amongot tho various tribes. Thera was an o1)stft

State.Department cover attached to Casablanca and working
out of there he could maintain his contacts with the nativesw.
t
Both he and Browne are willing to stay in the country among
the natives natives even if German occupation should take place,
from this point of view, their service to us is invaluable
It will probably be nmcessary to recall one
tbei Vice Cimisuls from North Africa to appoint Professor Coon
as the quota seems to b9 filled, and we are taking this
mattor up with the State Department,
If I could now get a good smart fellow for a
patisport control officer in Lisbon, I would be pretty well
set for operations, and, in this respect, I have several
contacts under review.
Would you kindly send a cable in COI code to
Eddy to be transmitted by courier to Murphy reading as
follows:
Lt. C,)lonel Solborg is appointe'd as Assistant
Military Attache Lisbon and Madrid. He will
coordinate and direct our activities in Iberian
Peninsula and North Africa. Please extend him
your closest cooperation and a4viso such Vice Con-
miss as Tou see at pe*Ordipl
