The deportation of 6,000 persons, the majority of them Jews, from occupied France to German-held countries is reported here today from Paris. Mass-arrests of Jews for deportation were resumed during the last few days after a short interval, the report said.
It was learned here today that Admiral Darlan addressed a letter to Fernand de Brinon, Vichy’s ambassador at Paris, stating his opposition to the anti-Semitic measures in France. Replying, de Brinon wrote to Darlan that his attitude had been brought to the attention of Hitler and “produced a very bad impression.”
Mayors of a number of cities in unoccupied France are reported today to have appeared before Laval, warning him not to yield any further on the question of Jews whose deportation Germany demands. A majority of these mayors have been among Lavalt supporters in the past.
