PARIS—King Mohammed V of Morocco has agreed to lift all restrictions
against the emigration of Jews from Morocco, it was officially disclosed Tuesday
in Rabat.
The decision to lift the emigration ban on Moroccan Jews, which was con-
firmed by the Moroccan Minister of Information, was made known to a delega-
tion of Moroccan Jews who called ,upon the king last week.
The Moroccan ruler told the delegation that "all our Jewish subjects who
want to leave the country will be allowed to do so without any restrictions."

Jewish circles speculated that the Moroccan king banked on the fact that
despite his permission most Jews would not be able to take advantage of the
easing of restrictions since the poor Jews of the city mellahs would not have
the financial means to leave the country while the rich
Jews would emigrate only in small numbers. •
In. confirming the decision by the Moroccan king,
the Information Minister said that the new policy would
not mean that Zionist organizations would have the
right to "deneutralize" Moroccan citizens nor does. it
mean that Moroccan authorities favor mass emigration.
Sechariah Shuster, European director of the Amer-
ican Jewish Committee who just returned after a week's
visit in Morocco, said that the king's assurance had done
much to ease the anxiety and the sense of oppression
felt by Moroccan Jews.
In the background of the king's action was a
series of protests against Morocco's anti-Jewish policies
by organizations and newspapers in many countries.
Several days before the lifting of emigration restric-7
Lions a Moroccan Jewish delegation had met with the
king to present Jewish grievances, while expressing
the community's "steadfast loyalty and attachment.
