The Ministry of Interior today liberalized regulations governing “stateless” refugees living in France by making it impossible for them to be deported by simple administrative order, as was heretofore the practice. In the future, instructions of the ministry state, the cases must be referred to the Ministry of Interior.
The instructions cover “stateless” refugees from Russia, the Saar, Armenia and Georgia. Hope was expressed in Jewish circles that the instructions would be extended to apply to German refugees as well.
