Tunis might do. 1t is true that they
are mere civilians. But we'll organ
lied civilian bodies provided with
arms can often play havoc behind
the lines.
But will the French army and the
Tunisian Notifications hold against
diplomacy? Mussolini does not need
to take Tunis right away by force.
He can extract-maybe-from the
French government some agreement
which might allow him to send an
unrestricted number of immigrants
to that country. Hand-picked i'm
migrants, Preferably non-commis-
stoned officers and men who have
seen active service in the regular
army.
There is determined feeling
throughout France that she would
rather fight than yield to the Italian
dictator. This Mussolini knows.
Hence he may be willing to nego-
tiate some kind of treaty, like the
one he had negotiated with Pierre
Laval in 1885 and might succeed in
extracting from the French govern
ment advantages which would open
the gates of Tunis to the italian
immigrants. This is all he needs.
In few years, the French fortif1ca-
tions on the Lybian borders might
become as useful as those the
-Slovaks built in the Sudeten
mountains.
Sees Behind Maneuver.
The French government is aware
of this. It sees behind Mussolini's
maneuvers-the public manifesto
tions which demand Corsica, Tunis
Nice and almost every other city on
the Mediterranean coast where Ital-
ian is spoken-nothing but an at
tempt to blackmail Mr.. Chamberlain.
They are afraid that under the
pressing demands of the British
Premier the Daladier government
might be compelled to yield "just a
little" in minor matters which do not
involve territorial changes of any
consequence. Maybe a little slice
around Djibouti-hardly noticeable;
may be some few concessions re-
garding the status of the Italians In
Tunis and q liberalization Of the i'm
migration laws governing that pro-
tectorate. Premier Daladier and his
foreign secretary, Bonnet, are afraid
that Mr.. Chamberlain will do his
best to induce them to make minor
concessions ''for the sake Of Europe's
appeasement.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
PARIS, France (by maiD France
must keep Tunis under her wing at
any price. 1t is the gateway to
Algiers and Morocco. This is the
unanimous opinion of all French
men regardless of the political fac
ton to which they belong. This
writer has discussed this problem
with members of the present cabinet
like Premier Daladier and Foreign
Secretary Bonnet, with former Pre-
mier Leon Blum and former Pre-
eign Secretary Yvon Delbos. This
is the opinion Of the bitterest an
tagonists of the present government
and of the great mass of French
people.
During the last $50 years every
time France suffered reverses ir
Europe, she consoled her people
by annexing another slice of Asis
and Africa; her European antago-
nistS were delighted that the empire
or the republic could find a solace
for its wounds in some colonial ad-
venture. And of these France ha:
\ lost none even after the crushing
defeat of 1870 at the hands of the
Germans.
Not French Colony.
Tunis is not actually q French
colony. 1t is protectorate with 8
native ruler-the Bey of Tunis-
who is just a Charlie Mccarthy In
the hands of the French high COM
missioner, who is his Bergen.
Tunis is, from the economic point
of view, more of an expense thar
an asset. But it has a considerable
strategic mportance-it is the buffer
state between the Italian colon,
of Lydia and the richest of France:
departments, Algiers. If Tunis be.
comes Italian, the French say. II
won't be long before Mussolinis ap-
petite will extend to the rest OF
Frances North African possessions
Algiers and Morocco
The population of Tuns is com.
posed of some 100000 natives
mixed with Egyptians, Syrians and
other African nations. The white
population is composed of some 150,-
900 French and about 100000 Ital-
ian immigrants.
II Duce Challenges Figures.
These figures are challenged by
Mussolini, who maintains that the
French are counting as their owr
nationals the Italians who have
been compelled by law to become
French citizens. That in fact, there
are three times as MANY Italian
colonists as there are French.
In the medley of races along the
Mediterranean basin it would take
a wizard, greater than even II Duce
to determine who is who and what
is what.
The fact is that the French with
their superiority complex, backed by
the fact that they actually own
Tunis, are occupying a privileged
position and represent the upper
strata, the smart set. The Italians
are mostly artisans, peddlers, small
tradesmen and small farmers. The
French "colons" (settlers) could be
compared with the English gentry

ton. They are the gentry; owners
of thousands of acres of land equip
ped with the latest agricultural ma
chinery. The Italian settler has
patch of land which he works with
his own hand the best he can. His
wife and children frequently replace
the mule at the plow.
Wants to Get Good Case.
The French rule Tunis; the Ital-
ians intend to take. Mussolini must
show the world that by rights Tunis
Is Italian: This is of course not es-
sential: there were only few Italians
in Ethiopia and few Japanese in
China when both tatalitarian states
decided to conquer those regions.
But Mussolini has become recently
Realistically inclined and wants to
have a good case before he VEN
lures to make definite claim on
Tunis.
He has organized the Italians in
this French protectorate with Fas-
cist thoroughness. The Italian GOV
ernment through it's consulates
takes care of the poor and the des-
titute. The italian children from
the age of 6 are divided in various
groups like in Italy drilling for
military service just like in the
mother country. Those who are
not in sympathy with the Fascist
ideaology must change. The oppon-
ents of the regime, relying on the
fact that they live under the protec-
ton of the French government, are
quickly taught otherwise. Important
doses of castor oil are administered
under the helpless eyes of the
French -Tunisian authorities. Some
are kidnapped and never seen again.
The Fascist secret police has spread
its tentacles all over Tunis and woe
to the Italian, be he even natural
ized, who does not come into line
quickly.
Newspaper In Tunis.
There is, Of course, an italian
newspaper in Tunis which the
French say is Mussolinis principal
propaganda and intelligence agency.
It has ample funds at its disposal
and is able to gather news which
it sends to Rome. There it is dressed
up and served to the world news
papers-including the French-in q
manner suitable to the Rome gov
ernment.
The French are confident they
can handle the Italian menace
alone.
They rely on the Tunisian Mag
mot line of Notifications which ex-
tends all along the Tunisian-Lybian
border and is considered by French
military experts as impregnable as
the French Maginot line on the Ger
man border.
They also rely on the excellence
of the French troops in Tunis and
in Algiers. The latter can be sent
to the Italian African border in a
short time. An extensive system Of
strategic roads enables the French
government to move men and war
material with lightning-lke speed.
In short, on paper, a victory over the
Italians in Africa is q cinch.
