The economic situation in Poland is terrible, he said. “If we could for a moment imagine that the aid of the Joint Distribution Committee was withdawn many thousands would be ##posed to starvation.
“Politically, the situation of the Jewish population in Poland has improved, but polities in Poland have ## influence on economics. It is the opinion of such Jewish leaders as Senator Szereszewski and Dr. Klumel that the aid of the J. D. C. is rescuing many Polish Jews from death by starvation,” Mr. Saltzstein declared.

“I was aruazed to learn on the steamer of the irresponsible charges of Mr. Steuer against the J. D. C.” he stated to the representative of the Jewish Daily Bulletin. It is unpardonable to speak in such, a light manner concerning the relief work of the J. D. C.” he declared.
