The newly-elected board of the Warsaw Jewish Community, in a resolution adopted at a meeting today, demanded equal treatment for the Jewish population, “which fulfills all the duties of citizenship like the rest of the population.”

The board said it considered it “necessary to assist any emigration efforts, particularly emigration to Palestine,” but expressed “the strongest possible opposition to the view that emigration alone can solve the Jewish problem.”

This view, the resolution said, “has been the cause of a new anti-Semitic wave in a country which regards the Jews in Poland as aliens in their own country.”

The resolution added that the Jewish masses were determined to fight for full equality.
