Cremieux Decree Restored
For 140,000 Algerian Jew
French Committee for National Liberation Reinstate s Law
of 1870 Abrogated in 1941 by Vichy and Lat er
by Giraud in North Africa
LONDON (JTA)—The Cremieux Decree, abr gated in
1941 by the Vichy government of Marshal Petain and later
by Gen. Henri Giraud, was this week reinstat ed by the
French Committee for National Liberation, it w as reported
here from Algiers. The 140,000 native Algerian Jews who
were deprived of their French citizenship by brogation of
the decree, have thus had all their pre-war rig is restored.
The Cremieux Decree, which was issued in 1870, will
govern the Jews of Algeria until the French Republic is
re-established, the report said. This week's act came as a
result of pressure on the part of liberal elements, including
Gen. de Gaulle, who considered repeal of the decrees to be
an anti-Jewish measure contrary to the principles of a
democratic France.
