Mass-arrests of Jews in Algeria were reported today by the Paris radio as the result of a “conspiracy,” the details of which the Nazi-controlled radio station did not reveal.
Thirty-four of the arrested Algerian Jews have already reached Marseilles, the broadcast said. They will be sent to the State Tribunal in Lyons for trial. Other arrested Jews are still confined in Algiers.
The Swiss press today reports that Nazi propaganda among the Arabs in Algeria and Spanish Morocco reached a new peak this week. This intensification of Axis activities among the Arabs is evidently timed to coincide with the anti-Jewish and anti-British propaganda which the Axis radio stations in Germany and Italy are now broadcasting in an unprecedented quantity, promising “liberation and independence” to the Arab world. The anti-British riots which flared up in Tangier on Saturday are ascribed as due mainly to intensified Nazi propaganda among the Arab population.
