The status of ten thousand persons, the majority of them Jews, who are residents in this country but have not been admitted to citizenship, will be ascertained before the end of the year as a result of action taken by the government following negotiations on the subject between the Club of Jewish Deputies and Mlodzianowski, Minister of the Interior. The Minister of the Interior has despatched an order to the Wojewods, governors of the various Polish states and provinces, instructing them to settle the question of the status of these 10,000 persons not later than the end of this year.

It is now hoped that the action of the Minister of the Interior will do away with the tragic situation which deprived these people of the citizenship of the countries from which they originated without giving them the status of citizenship in Poland.
