A demand upon the Moroccan Government that it put new regulations into effect next month to keep out of Morocco all Europeans and Americans who are Jewish, unless such persons are approved for entry by their ambassadors in this country, was made here today by Al Alam, organ of the opposition Istiqlal Party.
The newspaper reported that new security regulations have already been promulgated by the police, to keep out of Morocco all suspect Arabs who might wish to visit this country during the next Arab summit conference, scheduled provisionally to open here September 13. Al Alam, declaring that such tightened security measures will not be sufficient, requested that “those Jews who come to Morocco from all parts of the world” during the summit parley must be first approved by their ambassadors here.
Pointing particularly to European and American Jews as persons who “deal with Israel and her foreign lackeys,” the newspaper stated that “it is necessary to take every precaution against the enemies of the Arabs, and they should be vouched for by their ambassador in Morocco before being allowed to enter Morocco.”
