Moslem-Jewish tension continues in Algeria and Jews, native and immigrant, do not feel safe, it is reported today from Algiers.
A number of wealthy Algerian Jews have sent their families to Paris as a safeguard, the report states. The minister of education, M. Mallarme, who is deputy of Algeria, declared today that during his recent visit to Algeria he noticed that feeling is running high among the Moslem population and that the anti-Semitic atmosphere there constitutes a very serious danger to peace.
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
The French authorities do not underestimate the situation and are well prepared to meet every eventuality. Precautions are being taken to cope with any outbreaks of an anti-Semitic nature in Algeria, government spokesmen gave assurances today.
Marcel Regnier, minister of interior, who intends to go to Algiers for personal investigation, today received a cable from Ben Djelloul, nationalist Moslem leader of Constantine, to whose influence the recent anti-Jewish pogroms are largely attributed. The Moslem leader asked M. Regnier for an audience “as soon as the minister arrives in Algeria.” The minister replied that there was no need for such an audience.
