SETT, Algeria, May 5.-Loud
alarms are being sounded regard
ing the position of France In
North Africa.
From his place of exile In
Cairo, Abd-el-Krim. romantic
leader of the grim Riff revolt. has
announced that the Moslems of
Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia are
about to throw the French into
the Mediterranean.
The French themselves have
given some substance to this wish
full nonsense by jailing more than
200 Algerian Moslems during the
last six weeks.
All are accused of belonging to "a
para military organization of vast
proportions" aiming at an armed
uprising against the French.
Several boxfuls of firearms and
explosives of various vintages are
reported to have been seized.
Local and some Paris news
papers have been full Of the
story.
After one week in Algeria. part
of it spent in the alleged centers
Of this budding holy war, we are
convinced that the chances Of a
Moslem revolt against France in
Algeria, now or in the near fu-
ture, are microscopic.
Abd-el-Krim is talking through
his turban and the French are
shouting wolf.
There is a great deal Of bitter
ness between the Moslem popula-
ton Of 8 millions and the Euro
pean population of 114 millions.
They seem to be afraid Of one
another.
Demands for a comprehensive
new deal for the Moslem popula-
ton are persistent and important.
But neither a revolt nor a real
new deal is in the cards for the
time being.
Even acknowledged leaders of
the nationalist movement are
divided on the elementary ques-
ton Of whether 1t would be wise
to despoil and expel the country's
million Frenchmen and the other
Europeans.
Finally, except for a few odd
weapons which may have been
sumggled in to them, the Moslems
are not armed.
On the other side the French
are strong, well-organized and
reSolute.
They regard Algeria as part of
France and they will not even
discuss the possibility of setting
up a separate, self-governing
Moslem- controlled state on AL
gerian territory.
Tunisia and Morocco are pro-
tectorates so, in principle at least,
the French are bound to listen to
their demands for more inde-
pendence.
But any Algerian who demands
independence Is q traitor In
French eyes.
For the moment the French
have another advantage.
There have been four fairly

efforts to improve native food pro-
duction by teaching the people
modern farming methods.
In the political field they have
established the Algerian assembly
and q larger measure of self
government has been introduced.
But the big difficulties remain.
Most Of the best land is owned
by Europeans and the real power
rests with the French. However
benevolent its rule. France re-
mains an alien land.
Desperate poverty and "la
misere" lie heavily on the Moslem
population and it Is France which
gets the blame.
The future is going to be tough

who tries to govern them and to
help them.

good crops since the catastrophe
failure of 1945.
In the western world the year
1945 was a year of victory.
In Algeria it brought drought,
famine and death. 1t also brought
a bloody encounter between the
French and the Moslems which
broke out in Setif on We Day,
May 8. 1945. and lasted several
days. Officially 102 French and
l 500 Moslems were killed.
The Nationalists claim that
many thousands of Moslems were
shot down.
Because of the recent series of
good crops the native population
has had more or less enough to
|eat.
During this comparative lull the
French government has attempted
to meet some of the Moslem COM
plants.

from the local "colons'' (big land
