HOME ONLINE FORUMS USEFUL DOCUMENTS GETTING COMPENSATION ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ... Hebraïc version The Commission for the Compensation of Victims of Spoliation Resulting from the Anti-Semitic Legislation in Force during the Occupation (CIVS) will convene in Israel from September 19 to 23, 2005. A CIVS delegation will be present in Tel Aviv from September 19 to 23 to examine 81 files from claimants living in Israel. Sessions will take place at the French Embassy. Claimants are invited to attend, as is the case at CIVS headquarters in Paris. This visit will allow members of the delegation to meet with the Commission’s chief contacts: public authorities, university representatives, the media, associations for the defense of deportees’ moral and material interests, etc. Beyond the ambition to swiftly process files for elderly claimants in precarious situations, the visit will aim to emphasize, in the eyes of Israelis, the French government’s affirmed willingness to address, in an appropriate and definitive manner, spoliations that occurred in France due to anti-Semitic legislation in force during the Occupation.

Paul Reynaud , the French prime minister, now realized that the German Western Offensive could not be halted and suggested that the government should move to territories it owned in North Africa. This was opposed by his vice-premier, Henri-Philippe Petain , and the supreme commander of the armed forces, General Maxime Weygand . They insisted that the government should remain in France and seek an armistice. Outvoted, Reynaud resigned and President Albert Lebrun , appointed Petain as France's new premier. He immediately began negotiations with Adolf Hitler and on 22nd June signed an armistice with Germany . The terms of the agreement divided France into occupied and unoccupied zones, with a rigid demarcation line between the two. The Germans would directly control three-fifths of the country, an area that included northern and western France and the entire Atlantic coast. The remaining section of the country would be administered by the French government at Vichy under Marshal Henri-Philippe Petain Other provisions of the armistice included the surrender of all Jews living in France to the Germans.

The present constitution, adopted in 1958 and revised in 1962, established the Fifth Republic and provided for a powerful president, originally Charles DE GAULLE, and a bicameral legislature with less power than it had in the past. The president is elected by direct popular vote for a 7-year term. He appoints the prime minister and may dissolve the National Assembly. T he legislature consists of a 318-member Senate elected indirectly by an electoral college, and a politically more important 577-member, directly elected National Assembly. The five overseas departments of French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Reunion, and St. Pierre and Miquelon are represented in the National Assembly, as are New Caledonia, Mayotte, Wallis and Futuna Islands, and French Polynesia. Senate members serve 9-year terms, with one-third of the seats falling due for election every three years. The National Assembly is elected every five years. The minimum voting age is 18 years.

Alcohol Spartacus USA History British History Second World War ... Email The British government became concerned about the consumption of alcohol during the First World War . They feared that war production was being hampered by drunkenness. Other governments involved in the conflict were also worried about this problem. In August 1914 Russia outlawed the production and sale of vodka. This measure was a complete failure, as people, unable to buy vodka, produced their own. The Russian government also suffered a 30% reduction in its tax revenue. Attempts to reduce alcohol consumption were also made in Germany, Austria-Hungary, France and Italy. In Britain, David Lloyd George , the Chancellor of the Exchequer, led the campaign against alcohol. In January 1915, Lloyd George claimed that Britain was "fighting German's, Austrians and Drink, and as far as I can see the greatest of these foes is Drink." Lloyd George started a campaign to persuade national figures to make a pledge that they would not drink alcohol during the war. In April 1915

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... E > Right of Exclusion A B C D ... CICDC - Home of the Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan Right of Exclusion (Latin The alleged competence of the more important Catholic countries, Austria, France, and Spain, to indicate to their respective cardinal protector , or cardinal procurator, those members of the Sacred College who were so that, if there was a possibility of one of these becoming pope, the authorized cardinal might, before the decisive ballot, give his veto, in the name of his government, against such election. At one time this veto was given orally; later it was given in writing. The cardinal protector , or cardinal procurator, who cast the veto, was, as a rule, that member of the Sacred College who had been created a cardinal at the desire of his government. This declaration could only be made at the last moment, for the reason that, by traditional usage, a government might invoke this alleged right only once at the same conclave , and consequently would not wish to employ it unnecessarily. A veto made after the election was not recognized. Opinions differ widely as to the antiquity of this right. It cannot be proved that it is in any way related to the rights in the papal election, exercised by German kings and emperors in the early
