The nationalist Jewish groups, mainly through affiliation with the Jewish bloc within the bloc of the national minorities in the Republic of Poland, defeating both extreme wings-the Orthodox Agudath Israel and the labor parties Bund and Poale Zion-elected thirteen Jewish deputies to the third Polish Sejm.
The final tabulation of the election returns has been completed. It shows that the following were elected: Isaac Gruenbaum of Warsaw, A. Hartglass of Siedice, Jerzy Rosenblatt of Lodz, Dr. Jacob Wygodski of Vilna, Dr. Osias Thon of Cracow, Dr. Leon Reich and Mr. Leser of Lemberg, H. Rozmarin and Eisenstein from Galicia, all of whom are Zionists; H. Farbstein from Bialystock and Rabbi J. Brodt of Tomaszow-Mazowiecki were the Mizrachists elected; Mr. Heller, representing the Zionist labor group, Hitachduth, and Chaim Rasner, representing the Jewish artisans association, were elected.
Of the five deputies elected on the Communist list, three are of Jewish origin: Adolf Warski, Isaac Gordin and Saul Amsterdamski. On the pro-Government list Heinrich Loewenhaerz, leader of the extreme assimilationist group in Galicia, was elected.
