Eritrea's fate Is decided, either by

Educated Eritreans-mostly prod

to have at least 10000 Italians re-
main here as foreign residents, but
not as colonial overseers.
In an engineering sense, at least,
the Italians did q magnificent job in
Eritrea. But, as administrators,
they have long since lost the respect
of the Eritrean population.
Like the Ethiopians. the Eritreans
find it easy to get along with the
Italians as individuals. But as q
group. while admiring their achieve
ments, they despise the Italians for
their past behavior.
Fear Foreign Rule.
They especially abhor the thought
of again being subjected to the rule
of a week foreign power that, for all

defend its colonial possessions.
The Italians spent more money
