The Yiddish daily “Homent” here states that it learns from reliable sources that Government Party circles have been seriously considering the position of the Club of Jewish Deputies, which, though not in the Opposition, did not, however, vote for the Government Budget. It was pointed out that even the Jewish Deputies who belong to the Government Party Club, like Deputy Jaeger, complain of the grave economic position of the Jewish population and demand that the Govern ment must do something on their behalf.
Several prominent members of the Government Party have urged it on the Government that something must be done to remove the impression that there is no Jewish group in Poland that is satisfied with the activity of the present Government in matters affecting the welfare of the Jewish population of Poland, and that the Government must do something to meet to some extent the demands made by the representatives of the Jewish population, in the direction of alleviating their really difficult economic position, as well as in the cultural field.
It is stated that the attention of the Government was drawn to the fact that it has now obtained extensive powers from the Seym, and is in a position, in consequence, to deal with several of the Jewish demands by means of regulations enacted by a decree over the signature of the President of the Republic.
It is believed that after the holidays the Government will give serious consideration to the Jewish problems and will endeavour to regulate a number of matters in the interest of the Jewish population.
