The votes of the Jewish Deputies within the Polish Sejm, will not be cast against the Pilsudski government in the vote on the proposed state budget.
This was indicated today during the budget discussion in an address delivered by Dr. Leon Reich in behalf of the Club of Jewish Deputies. Although he severely criticised the Pilsudski government for its failure to meet the demands of the Jewish population in the Republic of Poiand, he did not say that the Club of Jewish Deputies will vote against the budget, not did he say that the Club will take a favorable attitude toward the government.
The address of Dr. Reich followed a bitter struggle which occurred within the Club and led to a sharp encounter between him and Deputy Isaac Gruenbaum, who demanded that the Club vote against the budget and proceed to the opposition. The conflict between Reich and Gruenbaum, which assumed a personal character, was referred to a Court of Honor.
In his address in the Sejm, Deputy Reich pointed out that the Pilsudski revolution of May, 1926 contributed to the betterment of the situation of the Jews in Poland only in a negative way. The May revolution and the ensuing Pilsudski regime have brought consternation into the camp of the anti-Semites, have lessened racial antagonism within the Republic.
The Pilsudski government, however, has done nothing positive to meet the demands of the Jewish population. The government has continued in its refusal to recognize the rights of Polish Jews to obtain work. Jewish applicants were not admitted to government posts. This example of the government was followed by the municipalities. The Jewish population has continued to suffer from the compulsory Sunday rest law and was the most affected by the heavy taxation burden which rests upon the urban population, he declared

Sir:
There has come to the knowledge of the Jewish Thcological Seminary of America the fact that there is in existence what purports to be a Diploma of the Seminary issued to Abraham I. Goldberg, under the date of May $1, 1921, and containing pretended signatures of Cyrns Adler as acting president, and Louis Gineberg together with the names of other persons who were at no time members of the teaching staff of the Seminary. The imitated signatures fo Doctor Adler and Professor Ginaberg respectively are both forgeries. No person by the name of Abraharm I. Goldberg was ever graduated by the Seminary. The diploma moreover bears a sapposed scal which was at no time the seal of the Seminary Corporation. It is understood that Abraham L Goldbers has at various times officisted as a rabbi and teacher in various congregations in Texas and Arisons. All persons are warned that the claim of the said Abraham I. Goldberg to be a graduate of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America is frandulent. In general, congregations are advised that it is in their interest when persons claiming to be graduates of the seminary apply to them for posts to write to the seminary for information concerning such applicants.
