Abstract
We comment an unpublished document, the mémorandum of secret meeting of King of Morocco and General Catroux, June 19th, 1945. True characters of nationalism are enlightened .

Many informations were corne to them about German influence through Moroccan society and especially Palace ; they mistaked, perhaps.
