Cardinal Refuses to Turn
Against Jews; Defies Nazis

Anti-Semitic Laws Condemned by Pope, Archbishop of
Lyon Tells Them Despite Their Offer Not to Interfere
With Catholic Church in France

LONDON, (JTA)—Nazi authorities in France visited
Cardinal Gerlier, Archbishop of Lyon, and told him that
they would not interfere with th.e Catholic Church in
France providing the Cardinal and the other clergy did
not oppose the anti-Jewish laws and discontinued protect-
ing Jews, it was reported here this week by Allied circles.
The Archbishop's reply was that the French clergy
never has engaged in political activities, but is obeying the
Pope. In order to indicate that the audience was termi-
nated, Cardinal Gerlier rose and said : "You no doubt
know that the Holy Father has condemned the anti-
Semitic laws and all anti-Jewish measures."
Other reports indicate the Nazi administration in
France has embarked on a policy of complete liquidation
of the 120,000 Jews still in the country. "Already plans
are being made to place all alien Jews in special camps
and - all Jews of French nationality in ghettos," one report
stated.

The Vichy radio reported that the minister of interior
has ordered all unmarried aliens between 18 and 50 who
have entered France since 1939 be sent to labor camps.
The British Government soon will make a statement
in Parliament regarding the admittance of Jewish refu-
gees from Nazi-held countries, it was reported. The report
says that the Government is considering the question of
whether to place a limit on th.e number to be admitted.
The suggestion which is now being advocated in Eng-
land that Jews from Axis countries be exchanged for Ital-
ian civilians repatriated from Ethiopia is supported in an
article published by the News-Chronicle, one of England's
leading daily newspapers.

The Polish National Council this week considered
alarming reports of increased mortality among Poles and
Jews in Siberia. The reports state that the situation is
grave because of the shortage of food in Siberia and the
lack of warm clothing for the winter.
Samuel Zygelboim, Jewish member of the Polish Na-
tional Council, estimates that the number of Polish Jews
now in Russia does not exceed 300,000. The majority are
in Turkestan. Mr. Zygelboim expressed the opinion that
there are no more than 1,250,000 Jews left in Nazi-occu-
pied Poland compared to 3,500,000 before the outbreak of
the war.

Thousands of Jews are wandering in the woods and
villages of Western Europe finding refuge among the
