The anti-Jewish excesses in Roumania re-echoed yesterday in the Polish Sejm during the debate on the provisional budget of the government.
Deputy Leon Reich, speaking on behalf of the Club of Jewish Deputies, criticized the Polish government for its alliance with Roumania. “Poland can be proud of its alliance with France. It is a shame, however, that Poland should be linked with Roumania. Christians in Paris are protesting against Roumania,” he stated.
Deputy Apolinary Hartglass, president of the Club of Jewish Deputies, who also participated in the budget discussion, voiced the grievances of the Club of Jewish Deputies against the policy of the Pilsudski government in its distribution of the funds for religious purposes.
“While more than 50 per cent of the indirect taxes are derived from the Jewish population, the Jewish religious institutions receive the smallest amount of the subsidies granted to the religious denominations. Of the twenty-three million Zlotys allotted by the government for the support of religious institutions, only 185,000 Zlotys are given to the Jewish religious institutions. In other words, it means that the Jewish population in Poland receives from the government three groszys per capita. while the Moslems receive one Zloty and the Christians one and a half Zlotys per capita.” he declared.
Deputy Hartglass also criticized Minister of Foreign Affairs Zaleski for amguity in his letter to Lucien Wolf. secretary of the Joint Foreign Committee of the Anglo-Jewish Asseciation and the Reard of Jewish Deputies, on the cuestien of ## The Foreign Minister assured Mr. Wolf that the matter of citicenship for the category of “Statenlese” (men without a country) which affects a great number of Jews in Peland, has already been satisfactorily ## “This is incorrect.” the deputy declared.
