The Germans were behind a February mutiny of natives in Algiers.
 
They use it as blackmail against France.
 
     We have got to get French military and colonial caste with us.
 
          Bring Krim in only after Germans and Spanish are quiet. Then use 
 
Krim as our boogey man.

          Arabs can be gotten by actual sugar, because they use it rather
 
than alcohol. Lump sugar in Fifth Column. Tea very important.

     The Sultan of Morocco is secondary to Pasha el Glaoui, who still
 
has a feudal set up.

          The French, during the First World War, were able to withdraw all 
 
troops from Morocco simply by subsidizing the Lords of the Atlas with 
 
money.
 
        French prestige is at zero because the Algerian and Moroccan soldiers, 
 
fine men, were recently in French collapse, deserted by French officers. 
 
They saw the crack-up and then went hom to tell their people that the 
 
Frenchman is a coward.
 
     They hate the Spaniards, because of a long tradition of cruelty.
 
They will never forgive the Spaniards for the expulsion. They still carry 
 
the keys to their Granada homes, and pass them down through the centuries.

        The Arab mind in North Africa says: (A) The Frenchman is better 
 
than the Italian or the Spaniard, but the Frenckman has just shown us 
 
that he is a coward and a bum. (B) The Spaniard is still the Arab pet 
 
hate. (C) The Arab hates both the Italian and the Spaniard as an economic 
 
competitor. They compete for their jobs, which the French upper class have 
 
to give. They also compete in the craft life of  the cities.
