Dictatorship doesn't pay
1t has often been said that | am the abso-
lutte Monarch in my country and that
could be dictator, if l chose. 1t is true;
my people wish me to rule them, because
they have very little tradition of self.rule.
But have learned one thing from my
friends and this is that dictatorship does not
pay. That's why l am trying to encourage
democracy for my people.
~''I am building house for you, my chill
dren'' - l tell them. 81 am going to put
furniture into it = even though you may
not wish me to do so. Oh, l know, you may
prefer to sleep on the floor, our ancestors
have done so and survived, but my duty is
to show you better ways" This is what l
am going to do in my Kingdom. This will
be my legacy to my people and the future.
The schoolboys from your naval air base
have helped our Moroccan youths to plant
the Forest of Youth on the bare hills out
side of our capital city of Rabat. l enjoyed
driving by and watching the young eucalyp-
tus saplings turn into slim, healthy trees.
This is good augury for our friendship.
That is how the ideas that you have impaired
to us will take shape. - The End

More and more of your help came from the

for the entombed and to evacuate our in

An ex0mpIe for The world
For over a month American personnel
worked alongside the Moroccans, living in
dismal conditions, amidst the stencil of
dead bodies. In the weeks following the
earthquake, most of the world came to our
help. Never in the history of mankind was
there finer example of selAess human
teamwork j but Agadir will remember that
you and the French troops were the first to
rescue our people from death.
The toll of the Agadir earthquake has

is still yielding bodies. But many more
thousands have been saved and their bless.
