Jews in Morocco from today on are prohibited from buying wine, according to a report received from Casablanca. The report says that an order was issued during the week-end which stipulates that wine will be sold to Jews only after the country will have assured, under a ration system, ten pints a month to each of the non-Jewish Europeans residing in Morocco. The native Mohammedan population is not permitted by the Mohammedan religion to drink any wine.
