POLAND’S ATTITUDE
PROTECTION FOR JEWS (Rec. 9.5 p.m.) WARSAW, Jan. 6. The Polish Government was giving every right of protection to Jews, and anti-Semitic activity would be severely punished, said the Premier, M. Edward Morawski. Poland supported the emigration of Jews to Palestine and other countries, but Jews should not resort to illegal attempts to leave the country. There had been cases of Jews having been murdered in Poland. Such murders would be severely punished. The situation for the Jews had improved lately. Only 80,000 Jews remained in Poland out of a pre-war total of 3,000,000. The American Associated Press correspondent at Warsaw says that Jews were continuing to leave Pojand by thousands, but there was no evidence of widespread anti-Semitic activity. There were no known incidents of mass attacks on Jews since a mob burned the Cracow synagogue last August. Two Polish soldiers were sentenced to death for participation.
