The Ambassador in France (Caffery) to the Secretary of State
A–1491. Chauvel asked me today for luncheon with General Juin who is here on a brief trip from Morocco. They both reiterated that the French Government intends to proceed with democratic reform in Morocco. They both insisted that the main obstacle in the way of these reforms is the Sultan of Morocco who objects at every step to anything approaching democratic reform. They both agreed that a time limit must be set for the establishing of self-government in that country.
General Juin plans to return to Morocco within eight days.
