New anti-Jewish outbursts in the Paris press as a result of Sunday’s meeting of Jacques Doriot’s anti-Semitic party, at which confiscation of all Jewish property in France was advocated, were reported today by the Paris radio.
At the meeting, one of the Popular Party’s leaders stated that the Jews must pay reparation for the war “which inflicted such losses upon the French people.” He demanded that Jews be immediately deprived of the right to possess property of any kind.
The Cri du People writes that “defeat with all its consequences was needed to show Parisians all the harm done by the Jews.” It calls for stricter anti-Jewish measures to “punish the exploiters of the French people.” The Petit Parisien states that France lost its position as a leader in the doctrine of race because the Jews and their friends tried to eliminate from the French mind everything concerning the matter. It demands an “urgent, scientific and methodical defense of the French race.”
The broadcast also announced that children of the members of the Institute for the Jewish Question will celebrate Christmas at the anti-Semitic exhibit which is currently running in Paris. Standing under the Christmas decorations the children will be forced to listen to anti-Semitic addresses.
