Paris newspapers reaching here today report that Jews will no longer be allowed to appear on the main streets of the city, especially on Champs Elysees and the Grand Boulevards. Similarly, they will be forbidden to enter certain large department stores and moving picture houses in Paris.

A number of cafes in the Jewish section of Paris near the city hall have been ordered to put out a sign “For Jews Only” in order to make it clear that no “Aryan” is to enter there, the French press reports.

The Swiss newspaper Die Nation today reports that Parisians are revolted by the fact that Jews are now forced to wear yellow stars. “Over 100 ‘Aryans’ who dared to wear the stars now sleep in Sante prison,” the Die Nation writes, discussing the active opposition to the yellow star order.
