Anti-Semitic propaganda based on the slogan of “France For Frenchmen” is being circulated in the districts of Aveyron and Thionville, according to reports received by the authorities here from the police prefects in these districts.
The reports state that anti-Semitic pamphlets are being distributed in the districts and that anonymous letters are being received by local police officials urging the expulsion of Jews from the districts. It is suspected that the propaganda is being directed by the extreme right-wing group known as “The Organization To Defend Victims of the Annexation of Lower Rhine, Upper Rhine and Moselle.”
