The Government Commission for Jewish Settlement (Comzet) was severely censured to-day by the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets for its failure in the campaign for placing young Jews from the Jewish townships in the factory schools, and has been ordered not to repeat the mistakes that have been made when the new campaign is started in the autumn.
The resolution adopted by the Central Executive Committee calls upon the Ministries of Industry, Transport and Internal Affairs to work out proper policies for the welfare of the Jewish you the coming into the new industries. It emphasises the need of providing for their physical requirements, especially in the matter of housing and sleeping accommodation.
The resolution then goes on to instruct the Comzet and its related bodies to start immediately a cesus of Jewish youths available for the factory schools next autumn, and to submit their findings at an early date to the Council of Nationalities to enable this body to take such action as will ensure the efficient carrying out of the ghetto-to-factory campaign for Jewish youths in the coming year.
