6. All cases are to be studied by the state prose-
cutor for eventual criminal action against those who acquired
Jewish property. All bankruptcy cases affecting Jewish firms
which were decided under the Vichy regime are to be reviewed."
(JTA 3/18/45). .
Although this draft of the Law embodies some suggestions
offered by responsible circles of French Jewry, some French
papers are disappointed by the fact that in drafting the
Law the Government seemingly showed as much concern for the
protection of those who acquired the property under dis-
criminatory law as for the dispossessed victims of expro-
priation. Reports coming from France stress the considerable
public opposition to the principle of restitution especially
in the case of foreign Jews who compose about half of the
Jewish community in France. 1
Belgium
The Jewish press reported as far back as October, 1944,
that the Government will welcome the returning Jews, in-
cluding non-citizens (JTA, October 20, 1944; The Day,
October 23, 1944).
1. The French Government today promulgated the Decree pro-
viding for restoration of Jewish property confiscated under
Vichy laws, which was adopted last month by the Consultative
Assembly. It specified that the measure does not apply to
Alsace and Lorraine because of "special conditions of occupa-
tion there." (According to a JTA cable from Paris dated
April 23, 1945.) )
