The situation of the Jews in Algeria at present is “very complicated, ” R.N. Carvalho, president of the Anglo-Jewish Association, warned here last night. Addressing the Association’s annual meeting, Mr. Carvalho declared it will be important to watch carefully the security of the Algerian Jews in the next few months, when the fate of that country’s future will be settled.
In Morocco, he said, the situation of the Jews also continues to be uncertain, although “overt anti-Semitism” appears to have been halted. He reported that few Moroccan Jews are obtaining passports, in spite of the Government’s recent order permitting Jews to apply for passports. The Moroccan Government, he added, seems to fear that Jews may use their passport to travel to Israel.
Turning to the Adolf Eichmann trial in Israel, Mr. Carvalho said that press reports and public comments in Great Britain are showing admiration for the manner in which Israel is conducting those juridical proceedings. However, he cautioned, it is still too early to forecast the long-range effects of the trial on the world, on Germany or on Jews either in Israel or outside the Jewish State.
