Roosevelt Finds Giraud
Statement Satisfactory
Editorial in London News Chronicle Hits at Commissioner
of N. Africa for Saying "Jewish Problem Is Matter
of Interest Only to France"
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—President Roosevelt this
week indicated his satisfaction with the progress made in
solving the Jewish problem in North Africa.
Queried at his press conference on the political situa-
tion in North Africa, the President quoted at length from
the report of an interview with General Henri Honore
Giraud, High Commissioner for North Africa, written by
Guy Ramsey for the London News Chronicle. He said it
pas sent him by the State Department and seemed a good
statement.
Giraud was quoted as saying :
"I have the Moslem problem and the Jewish problem
and I am dealing with both progressively. I am not going
to try to solve them by a stroke of the pen or a stroke of
the sword. I know North Africa—I have made my career
here—and I know that too swift reversals in this country
mean trouble. I do not want trouble. The only trouble I
pant is for the Boche."
The President said he had not discussed with Prem-
ier Winston Churchill the appointment of Marcel Peyrou-
ton as Governor General of Algeria. Peyrouton has been
'charged with initiating Vichy's anti-Jewish laws and jail-
ing many Jews and followers of Gen. Charles de Gualle.

CORNER Benefit Game Set
Dear Boys and Girls:
We who are so fortunate to be
citizens of this great country
should never forget the misfort-
unes of those who are living und-
er conditions of misery and op-
pression in Europe.
Do you know that there are
thousands of children who are
wandering in many lands wait-
ing for an opportunity to be set-
tled in some spot which they can
call their home?
Last month, several hundred
Jewish children found a home in
Palestine after wandering for
more than a year through many
countries. Hundreds of other
children are to be settled in
Palestine this month.
Because Eretz Israel, the Holy
Land, is the old country where
these children can be settled, you
should all know the important
facts about the country which
Jews are building as the Jew-
ish National Home. I hope you
will all study these facts which
will form your column for this
week.
A Happy Sabbath to you all.
