7unisio to Let
Troops Through
Message to Bey Says
Forces Are Pursuing
Common Enemies

President Roosevelt has appealed
to the Bey of Tunisia, nominal head
of the government of that French
North African protectorate, "for
the great privilege of passage
through Tunisia" of American forces
bent on "early destruction of our
common enemies" the White House
disclosed today.
The Presidents message to His
Highness Sidi Moncef Pasha and an
accompanying one to Admiral Jean
Pierre Esteva, French resident gen.
eral at Tunisia, displayed obvious
confidence in the friendship and CO.
operation of the two leaders.
The messages were delivered Sat-
urday night as American forces be-
gan their campaign in North Africa
and we're made pulic as soon as con-
flrmation of their delivery was re-
ceived.
Meanwhile, part OF the American
Expeditionary Force was reported
pushing through toward Tunisia,
with the evident purpose of helping
to eliminate the remnants of Mar

fleeing from Egypt.
While the Chief Executives mes

terms, it could be regarded as sort
