PARIS (JTA) — The re-
surgence of fascism in
France has become a real
and present danger, for
many of the same reasons
that fascism enjoyed a con-
siderable following here in
the 1930s depression era be-
fore World War II — social
discontent, large-scale un-
employment and racial
prejudice.
The fascist National
Front Party won hundreds
of new members following
the appearance of its leader,
Jean-Marie Le Pen on a
television panel show Feb.
13, watched by at least 10
million people. Long queues
were seen afterward outside
the party headquarters.

:
they were joining the ex-
treme right-wing group,
most of those in line said
they were impressed by Le
Pen's frankness, especially
his remark that Jews in
France were over-protected
compared to other citizens.
They also claimed that
Le Pen was the only one
on the panel to defend
traditional values and
they agreed with him that
immigration must be se-
verely curtailed in order
to protect France's cul-
tural heritage.
Le Pen professed to have
nothing against Jews per-
sonally. But he told the mil-
lions of television viewers
that he could not under-
stand why they needed
more protection than
others, disregarding the
terrorist attacks on syna-
gogues and other Jewish
premises in recent years in
which lives were lost and
scores of people were in-
jured.
He insisted that no one
could accuse him of being an
anti-Semite simply because
he had no taste for the art of
Marc Chagall or for the
policies and activities of
former Prime Minister
Pierre Mendes-France or
Health Minister Simone
Veil, both Jewish.
Asked why he has not
condemned those of his fol-
lowers who have repeatedly
made vulgar anti-Semitic
remarks, Le Pen replied he
could not restrict their free-
dom of expression. "I take
my friends with their qual-
ities and their faults," he
said.
"Present," the organ of
the National Front, has
constantly
attacked
Socialist Justice Minister
Robert Badinter, who is
Jewish, and Veil, the
former for his reforms
and the latter for promot-
ing the abortion law. The
newspaper has also ex-
pressed concern that too
many Jews hold key
posts in the government
and administration, not
only in France but
elsewhere in the world.
In February 1979, "Pre-
sent" claimed that Jews are
back in command at all
levels. The National Front
is also using the themes of
violence and unemploy-
ment to recruit followers
from among people dissatis-
fied with present condi-
tions. It is campaigning vig-
orously in suburban areas
where there has been a re-
cent influx of immigrant
workers. It calls for the ex-
pulsion of Arab migrant
workers, hammering home
that two million Frenchmen
are unemployed.
Although the National
Front offers no program for
the future and plays openly
on personal hatreds and
fears, observers believe the
phenomenon it represents
must be taken seriously.
If the party continues to
gather adherents at its cur-
rent pace, the danger of fas-
cism as an important force
in French politics cannot be
discounted, the observers
say.
