A second Jew was today appointed to a high Moroccan Government post. He is Henri Chana, whose appointment as director of cabinet for the Finance Minister came one month after Aime Botbol, another Moroccan Jew, was named cabinet director to the Minister of Public Works.
M. Chana served previously as cabinet director of the Ministry of Commerce. Moroccan Jewish leaders expressed “great satisfaction” over the two appointments.
