The newspaper Le Monde reported that an anti-Semitic “whispering campaign” is going on in the city of Orleans where anonymous letters and posters attacking Jews have appeared. The paper said the campaign was characterized by word-of-mouth slander accusing Jews of engaging in white slave traffic. It called on police authorities to act promptly before the campaign spreads to other cities.
