Following their disruption of Zionist meetings here, a group of youths representing the “Friends of Arab Palestine” yesterday distributed anti-Zionist leaflets to persons entering a meeting of the Jewish Socialist Bund.

The meeting featured an address by Daniel Mayer, Secretary General of the French Socialist party, who charged that failure of Minister of Justice Francois de Monthon to purge his ministry and the courts of collaborationists was the cause for the delay in the promulgation of legislation restoring confiscated Jewish property, Declaring that no “Jewish question” existed in France, Mayer cautioned his audience against speaking of a “Jewish problem,” asserting that such discussions bred anti-Semitism.

The meeting adopted a resolution demanding a prompt solution of questions of property restoration, repatriation of deportees, and a purge of the administration.
