“L’Arche, French-language, monthly organ of the Fonds Social Juif Unifie, the central Jewish welfare fund in France, has been banned from Morocco, according to a cable received here today from the publication’s principal distributing agent at Rabat. No reason for the ban was given, but the “L’Arche’ publishers were requested not to ship the next issue to Morocco.

“L’Arche” has never attacked the Moroccan Government, confining its material only to factual reporting. However, the last issue contained a comprehensive report on the general situation in Algeria, particularly emphasizing the fate of the Jews in Algeria. It is believed here that the Algerian report may have brought about the Moroccan ban.
