Anti-jewish Attacks Continue in Paris: These Jews from Poland and Ukraine Think They Own the Parts O

Although no attempt has been made by the antisemitic Camelots du Roi to renew the anti-Jewish attacks of last Sunday in the Jewish district, Jews are being set upon in the outskirts of the city, and to-day an Algerian Jew was attacked at La Dullette by Camelots du Roi. One of the attackers was stabbed in the fight which ensued. On the left bank of the Seine a group of Royalist students collected shouting “Long live the King; Down with the foreigners”. A number of Jewish students returning home were attacked with shouts of “Jews, go to Palestine”.

At the same time telephone messages have been received by Jews in the Temple district where last Sunday’s attack took place, threatening that the attack will be renewed next Sunday in greater force.

The Jews must be taught their place; they must not be allowed to mingle with French people, the antisemitic Royalist daily “Action Francaise” writes. The Camelots du Roi, it proceeds, suggesting the Jews started the attack on the Royalists, who were selling copies of the “Action Francaise”, gave the Jewish attackers a well-deserved lesson. This alien horde, these Jews from Poland and the Ukaine who infest the quarter of St. Paul and were mobilised to protect the performances of the Dreyfus Affair play have been unable to hide their discomfiture. These alien pests think that they own the Paris quarters which they have turned into their ghetto, and have become so insolent as to refuse to let Frenchmen sell there our paper, which is a French paper. These alien vermin deserve all they get.

The League for Combating Antisemitism has taken up the challenge, and has issued a statement declaring that its members are ready to meet the Caemlots du Roi and to fight matters out with them.

The League of Human Rights has also issued a communique announcing that it has taken steps to urge the Government to provide more adequate protection for the Jewish population of Paris. The Deputies belonging to the League of Human Rights are drawing up an interpellation on the question to be presented to the Government at one of the next sittings of the Chamber.

The general press reports the antisemitic incidents as they occur, but no paper has yet made any comment on this new outbreak of anti-Jewish attacks.

The view taken in Jewish circles in Paris is that the group concentrated around the “Action Francaise” is very small in numbers, and that their threats must not be taken as indicative of any widespread anti-Jewish feeling in France. The “Action Francaise”, it is pointed out, has always engaged in Jew-baiting, but has never had any influence on general French opinion.

112 Camelots du Roi appeared to-day before the magistrate on charges arising out of the attempts to break up the performances of the Dreyfus Affair play. All of them were found guilty, and on giving assurances of good behaviour in the future, a nominal fine of between 10 and 20 francs each was imposed on them. As they went out of the court they started a patriotic demonstration, shouting “Long live France”. The magistrate warned them that their noisy demonstration did not accord with the assurances of good behaviour which they had just given him.
