Fighting French spokesmen asserted today that abolition by Gen. Giraud of the 1870 Cremieux law for Jews in Algeria did not mean a return to their rights under the French Republic.
General Giraud’s announcement yesterday of his abrogation of the Cremieux decree, coupled with a pledge against racial discrimination, deviated from a demand by General de Gaulle’s committee that there be a return in North Africa to Republican French laws and the status quo before June, 1940, the Fighting French commented.
