Algerian Independence & the Jews

- Abstract

The discussion we present this month grew out of the companion articles on “Algeria & the Fifth Republic” which appeared in our January issue: RAY ALAN’S “The Political Crisis” and JOSEPH BARRY’S “The Moral Crisis.” SAMUEL L. BLUMENFELD-the editor of Grosset and Dunlap’s University Library and secretary for the American Committee on France and Algeria-here comments on both articles; replies by Mr. Alan and Mr. Barry follow. This exchange was completed before the recent uprising of the Generals in Algeria.

Mr. Blumenfeld writes: Both Ray Alan and Joseph Barry are guilty of strictly partisan viewpoints and grave errors of omission in their articles on France and the Algerian problem.
