Rapport hebdomadaire sur la situation politique et économique dans la commune mixte de La Meskiana, 5 juin 1940
Description
The report mentions several pieces of information:
1. The suppression of TSF stations in public places, and in particular in “cafés Maures”, put an end to certain comments, which more or less faithfully translated the information heard.
2. The animosity of the natives against Italy.
3. Harvest results are poor.
4. Refueling is a problem and will be subject to new supply regulations.
Commune mixte in the French colonial period is a neighborhood managed by civil servants French, Arab (indigenous), and Jews.
