VICHY LAWS
AGAINST JEWS & OTHERS FRENCH NORTH AFRICA. REPEALED BY GIRAUD. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) LONDON, March 17. General Giraud by decree has repealed 62 Vichy-imposed anti-Jewish laws, and he has restored to their positions men who were removed because they were Freemasons. In a statement General Giraud said that many of the Vichy economic laws could not be repealed immediately, but a commission would revise them in accordance with the laws of the French Republic. “Justice henceforth will be administered in the name of the Republic,” he said. “The elected members of the North African Assemblies will be restored to office, but no elections will be held till France is liberated.” It is estimated that there are 275,000 Jews in French North Africa. M. Lamirand, secretary-general of the French Youth Movement in North Africa, has resigned following the arrest of his principal secretary, M. Rohrbach.
