ANNOUNCEMENT

French Publication Prints Report
Vatican OK'd Vichy Curb on Jews
f

NEW YORK (JTA)—A report
by the former Vichy ambassador;
to the Vatican which indicated!
the Holy See did not look with,
disfavor on all the anti-Jewish
restrictions introduced by the
Petain government, has been
published in the French maga-
zine. Le Monde Juif, a copy of
which fias been received here.
The text of the report appears
in the magazine—which is the
official organ of the Jewish Doc-
umentation Center in Paris—
'without any editorial comment.
According to a summary in Eng-
lish, published recently in the
London Jewish Chronicle. the
Vichy Ambassador. M. Leon Ber-
. ard. told Petain not to worry
about the consequences of anti-
; Jewish legislation; there had
never been anx protests on the
part of the Papal authorities,
who. he claimed, actually favored
"charitable" discrmination against
the Jews.
r "In your letter of August 7,
1941." wrote M. Berard, "you did
me the honor of requesting cer-
tain :nformation as to the ques-
tions and difficulties that might
crop up, from the Roman Cath-
: olic point of view, in connection
with the measures adopted by
your government in regard to the
-Jews.
"In an earlier reply, I had the
honor of stating that at no time
has anything been said to me at
the Vatican to suggest that the
Holy See is critical, or views with
disfavor, the aforesaid legisla-
s Live measures. Now I am able to

affirm. moreover. that the ponti-
fical authority shows no sign
whatever of ever having paid the
slightest attention to this feature
of French policy."
After declaring that his report
was based on long and scrupulous
investigation. M. Berard said:
"The Church has condemned ra-
cialism as it has condemned Com-
munism. It should not be inferred.
however. the Church necessarily
condemns any and every individ-
ual measure taken by the State
against what is termed the Jew-
ish race. The Church makes men-
tal distinctions and provides for
nuances which are worth noting."
