He is considering how to proceed against them, such a move being (he feare) unlikely to work out without the support of Horthy. Hitl er considers Imredy too weak to be effect ive without actual German mill tary b&cking, but if the Regent could be won over, Hitl er could force the oust er of Kallay and move against "Hungarian t raitor s." There are rumors of a posaiole put soh In Hungary, though the Regent will remain firm unless Germany resorts to military force, according to the beet information available.

5 ~... _..,... Ill,...,.,.,...~~ \~ Tangier: Internment or Allied S:ympathiura.. The OSS representative in Tangier report that bet ween 500 and 1000 pro- Allied Jews and Moors or military age have been rounded up by Spanish authorities and sent to a concentration camp. The move began as a security measure against Allied a:jil!pathicera. and developed into a brutal Nazi program. The arrests have been made by plain- clothes operatives under the direction or the Spanieh military CODID&nder in Tangier, Uriarte, a lieutenant or <aneral Orgaz. Some or the operatives are paid by the Nazis. The local ohier or police disclaima all knowledge and responsibility. The offioi al Spanieh statement on the roundup declares that the internees are only volunteers ror the Corps Franc d Arrique, whioh the OSS representative denies. The consequence or Uriarte's move has been to eliminate practically all Allied agents and sympathizers or military age and to diminish greatl y American prestige.

6 Tangier: Spanish Internment of Allied Sympathisera Tbe OSS representative in Tangier repor ts that General Uriarte has advised the Jewish Council t hat beginning on June 3 all persona arrested for political reasons in the last week would be r eleased 1n groups of 25. Apparently a state of alert existed 1n Spanish L!orocco on May 31 owing to the movement of American material in the F'rench zone which gave the impression that American invasion or the Spanish zone was imminent. I n a speech on June 2 General Or gaz described the situation in Spanish Morocco aa one of "energetic serenity" and asserted that Spanish Morocco would preserve strict neutrality.

8 Politi cal Sentiment and Activity in Tuniaia I The May 21 parade in Tunis directed ita enthuaiasm on the tact ot liberation rather than on personalities, though the middle class wants a further purge ot Vichy personnel. Juin, acting Resident General until the arrival of Mast (expected in mid-june), i a reported to have congratulated t he Tunisian Communist underground on ita resistance, but warned that the party was still illegal. There is almost universal French approval of the removal of treacherous Arabs during the final stages of the campaign. A further series of liberal decrees issued by Giraud provides tor: (1) abolition or the Vichy Labor Charter; (2) abrogation ot Vichy laws curtailing individual liberty; (3) abolition within three months of the "groupements" for control of trade. Even so it is doubtful if Giraud ' s popularity is any greater. The reinstatement of Free Masons and Jewa is likely in spite of strong opposition. Despondency has been replaced by optimism with respect to the Giraud- De Gaulle negotiations following reports from London.
