Many communal activities
are financed by the American
Joint Distribution Committee
in Tangiers.
The Moroccan authorities, I
was told, view the JOINT ac-
tivities with favor.
In contrast to the inland Jews,
those of Tangiers and of other
ports along the northern coast
of Morocco are of Spanish ori-
gin. Although Spanish is their
traditional language, French is

permitted the Jewish commu-

is again Arabic, no one thinks
of reviving this decree . . .

nity, however, has been changed
recently. French capital is hesi-
tant to continue investment in
Morocco and the unemployment
which has resulted is affecting
Moslems, Jews and Spaniards
alike. Driven by distress, Jews
from the South of Morocco are
moving into Tangiers where
their upkeep constitutes a se-
rious problem.
Another movement is that of
young, ambitious and multi-lin-
gual Tangiers Jews, who feel
that the future holds little for
them in Tangiers and decided to
emigrate. Most of them at pres-
ent are going to Canada, chiefly
to Toronto where the Jewish
community offers assistance in
their settlement.
The Jews who remain are
mostly well off. This may be
