ILL-TREATMENT OF JEWS
FRENCH SUPPORT FOR CHURCH PROTEST
(Rec. 9 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 25. The entire country is ranging behind the churches' condemnation of the inhuman treatment of Jews, according to reports reaching Lisbon from occupied France.
Travellers reveal that the Archbishop of Toulouse was threatened with death, if he allowed a recent pastoral letter to be read in his churches. . The Archbishop replied: "I am so old that it does not matter if I die."
A goods train arrived in Toulouse in which 45 women arid children remained packed into the wagons from 5 a.m. until 2 p.m. Protests .were made and permission was sought to allow the women and children to leave the coaches at least for a few minutes, but this was refused. Eye-witnesses state that they saw Jews hunted by armed men in fields as though they were rabbits.
