Description

 

According to this report, significant speculation on fabrics is taking place at the Lyre market, “because of the disproportion between the number of buyers and the quantities of fabrics brought in by sellers.” Pushes and brawls would very often break out due to the length of the queues in front of each retailer. “Some Jewish traders would also take the opportunity to make underhand propaganda against the national government,” not failing, “when buyers complain about the shortage of fabrics or the rising prices, to blame the government on the Marshal Pétain and on the National Revolution “.

A crossed out paragraph reads: “Perhaps it would be advisable to eliminate Jewish retailers from markets frequented by the indigenous mass or at the very least, to monitor these markets very closely and not hesitate to make examples with very severe sanctions”.
