(Continued from Page 1)
The American commanding of-
deer had extended assurances also
that the presence in North Africa
of Admiral Mullin, Vichy's form-
er vice-premier, would in no way
interfere with the contemplated
abrogation of the anti-Jewish
laws. Many Jewish leaders had
at first been dismayed by the
treatment accorded the erstwhile
pro-Nazi collaborationist by the
Allied authorities.

To Be Held Dec. 4
JEWS CHEER
ALLIED TROOPS
Thousands of additional Jews
were released from the Axis yoke
as American and British troops
drove into Tunisia in an all-out
attempt to drive the Axis out of
North Africa. Allied troops en-
tering Tunisia were welcomed by
Jews, carrying their Torahs in
their hands, and offering food
to their liberators.
In those parts of Tunisia still
held by the Axis violent pogroms
were reported to be raging as the
result of an intense anti-Jewish
campaign conducted among the
Arabs by Axis radio stations in
Rome and Tunis. The Tunis radio
said that the abrogation of anti-
JewisE laws in French North
Africa by American military au-
thorities was the result of Dr.
Chaim Weizmann's intervention
with President Roosevelt. The
world Zionist leader was "quoted"
as demanding that Allied bayonets
be used to further "Jewish aspira-
tions" in North Africa.
The Rome radio repeated these
charges and warned the Arabs
that Allied victories in North
Africa would give Jews a posi-
tion of dominance in world af-
fairs. The Arabs were exhorted
to join with the .Axis forces in
repelling the American and Brit-
ish forces.
JEWISH GROUPS IN U. S.
WELCOME CHANGE
NEW YORK (WNS)—Presi-
dent Roosevelt's announcement
that he had requested the abro-
gation of all laws and decrees
inspired by Nazi ideologists in
French North Africa was wel-
comed this week "as the beginning
of the realization of the ideals of
the great Atlantic Charter" by
the General Jewish Council.
A message expressing gratifica-
tion over the speedy abrogation
of the Nazi-inspired laws, which
has resulted in the restoration of
equal civil and political rights
to the 110,000 Jews in Algeria
and the 160,000 Jews in French
Morocco, was sent to Mr. Roose-
velt by Edgar J. Kaufmann, of
Pittsburgh, chairman of the Gen-
eral Jewish Council.
Mr. Kaufmann's message to the
White House said: "The General
Jewish Council on behalf of its
constituent member agencies —
the American Jewish Committee,
the Bnai Brith and the Jewish
Labor Committee—joins all free-
dom-loving people the world over
in expressing gratification upon
the promptness of your action re-
garding the abrogation of all laws
and decrees inspired by the Nazi
Government or Nazi ideologists in
Northern Africa, and the libera-
tion of all persons. who have
been imprisoned because of their
opposition to Nazism.
"This action will be regarded
by the entire civilized world as
the beginning of the realization
of the ideals of the great Atlan-
tic Charter which we all hope
will soon be ushered in victorious-
ly by the Allied armies of lib-
eration."
BOARD OF JEWISH
DEPUTIES HAILS REPEAL
LONDON. (WNS) — The an-
nouncement that all existing anti-
Jewish laws in French North
Africa would be abrogated and
that equal civil and political
rights would be restored to the
more than 300,000 Jews there,
was greeted with cheers at a
special meeting here of the Brit-
ish Board of Jewish Deputies.
Prof. Selig Brodetsky, president
of the board, expressed the hope
that the thousands of European
Jewish refugees held in Nazi
concentration camps and in slave
labor camps in North Africa
would be freed with other anti-
Nazi prisoners, in accordance
with President Roosevelt's an-
nouncement.
Prof. Brodetsky stated that
while the position of the thou-
sands of Jews in what was for-
merly unoccupied France has
worsened as a result of the cotr-
plete Nazi occupation of France.
the Allied occupation of North
Africa had resulted in the liber-
ation of the Jews there and in
the removal of the threat to the
Jewish community in Palestine.
He added that the prompt abro-
gation of the anti-Jewish laws
