Appeals Continue
A "Stop Hitler Now" demon-
who were admitted to service with combat units of the
French forces last month was made official this week in an
order issued by Gen, Henri Giraud. The decree has the
effect of cancelling the Vichy anti-Jewish law which barred
Jews from the army,
Giraud's order also covers Jews now serving in the
French Pioneer Corps. They will be admitted to all fighting
forces which do not include Moslems. Doctors also will be
admitted to the medical service. Jewish officers and non-
commissioned officers, however, will be restored to their
previous rank only if they have been wounded or cited in
action or "are favorably known to the military authorities."
Fighting French Demand Rights for Jews
Dissatisfaction with the provisions of Gen. Giraud's
, order was expressed in the DeGaullist newspaper, "France,"
which points out that the order does not actually restore
full military rights to the Jews.
"It must be noted," the paper writes, "that the re-ad-
mitted Jews are restored to their full army ranks in specific
cases only. This does not conform with the ideals of the
French and the Allies,"
Quezon Hits Japs' Anti-Semitic Policy
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—President Manuel L. Quezon
of the Philippine Commonwealth this week called Japan's
policy of anti-Semitism a tribute to the patriotism of the
Jews in the occupied islands.
There are between 1,000 and 1,500 Jews in the Philip-
pine Conimonwealth.
"The Japanese are aping Nazi Germany by manufac-
turing their own anti-Jewish propaganda and persecution.
I am convinced that Tokio has announced this policy as a
cheap way of pleasing the fanatical Nazis and as a trick
to destroy the unity of the Philippine resistance," he said.
Mexico to Accept 500 Jewish Children
MEXICO CITY, (JTA)—The Mexican Government this
week authorized the entry into Mexico of 500 Jewish refugee
children from Europe. The first group of 100 children is
expected to arrive here shortly, Jewish leaders stated.
All 'Jews to be 'Evacuated" from Bucharest
ZURICH, (JTA)—Jews in Bucharest and other large
Rumanian cities will be the first to be "evacuated" under
the new plan to de-populate the larger centers in Rumania,
it is reported in the Swiss press this week.
The plan, which will result in the deportation of those
Jews who have hitherto been permitted to remain in Old
Rumania, is reported to have been designed by the Nazi
military authorities who intend to make Bucharest their
headquarters for the Balkans.
