EXCHANGE OF GOODS
U.S. AND FRENCH AFRICA POLICY RESUMED (9.30) WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. The Office of War Information announced that the United States had resumed the policy of exchanging goods for the French colonies which was suspended after M. Laval’s assumption of power in Vichy. The office revealed that two French ships left the United States for Casablanca, North Africa, on August 9. American consular agents will supervise the distribution of the cargoes to prevent the goods reaching other countries. The cargoes included sugar, cotton, cloth, condensed milk and tobacco. Two other French vessels sailed from Casablanca on August 11 with cargoes of cork and olive oil, which are much needed here.
