M. L. x—smneeeeMenStoann m Americans in countries into which our far flung battle lines have carried them are not always hailed as saviors. In fact in plenty of places they are regarded as suckers, according to an old Spanish proverb which runs: “Christ came’ to earth to save His sheep. He came for wool, Himself departed shorn.” The truth, of course, is that in all the overrun territories where loot; pillage and plunder have been the rule for months or years, the population is grown so bitter that all strangers are placed in one of two categories: either they have come into-the land to plunder the inhabitants or they are an opolunt careless people affording the natives an unusual opportunity for fleecing if not flensing. Here are extracts from a letter of one of our men in the armed services who has visited Casablanca. It indicates that our boys are regarded there as good things to ibe exploited: “Maybe you would like to hear about my impressions of Casablanca. No. 1 FILTH; No. “what the hell They follow: 2 An attitude of are you doing here?’’; No. 3 “As long as you rich Americans are here, we might as well get what ‘we can, sucker.” “The population is made up of three basic and incompatable groups: the French, whose opinjon of us is. divided, as many did not like the way we .took over since it was a little rough; the Moroceans, or natives who hate us and who will rob and kill any American soldier or sailor ‘if , they have a good chance; and the Jews who actually hail us as the liberators we try to think we are. “Poverty is evident everywhere although there is also wealth. The beggars are legion and persistent as hell. We are not supposed to drink or eat’anything not provided by our commissaries except beer which they serve ‘warm in chipped or dirty glasses even in the best places. The beer is insipid and poor in quality to begin with. © *‘A friend and I hired a horse and carriage and had ourselves a tour around town for a couple of hours. The town has a population of approximately half a million put very few live as you and I would care to. In the nicer sections where they have their villas the well-to-do live in comparatively small (probably 6 to 10 rooms) stucco houses, with small but nice grounds, with a small type tree and a good deal of shrubbery. The very rich have places that take up a city block. Their houses are almost completely hidden in beautiful grounds, The average Frenchman or duration resident lives in apartments of which there are many. From a distance these apartments are all modern and very nice looking, but on closer inspection lose their charm _ because of their run-down condition and the ever present filth. While very modern, they have the appearance of having been built and then promptly forgotten. “We had an interesting experience in hiring our carriage. First we went to the Red Cross and asked what we should pay. We were told 30 francs per hour, which is equivalent to 60 cents. This seemed cheap and armed with this information we started out to get a cab and see the sights. Our first major problem was, of course the language. There is just one goad way to overcome it. That is’ to let one of the children 7 to 14 years old, continually under our feet, act as guide and interpreter. For it is the small children who learn the English language. Well to cut it short we were snatched by a 18-year-old Jewish boy. You don’t hire them but are plagued by them until you buy them off * with a piece of gum, bar of candy, or highly prized pocket comb. “The first few cabbies we tried asked 200 francs an hour. We laughed at them and tried. others. Finally we got the price of one: down to 100 francs: but when’ he WAR CHEST DRIVE The committee in charge of Nevada City’s War Fund Drive has completed plans for opening the campaign for funds with a house to house canvas beginning Monday, November 8th.
