Description

This report indicates several information:

1/ No anti-Semitic demonstrations have occurred during the past month.

2/ The abrogation of the Crémieux decree was welcomed with satisfaction by the European and indigenous populations and with an exaggerated externalization.

3/ No hostile and dangerous remarks are to be reported with regard to the Jews.

4/ Faced with their political decline, the Jews showed themselves to be indifferent. They even voluntarily withdraw from public life (They refrained from visiting military cemeteries, even the Jewish cemetery).
