World Jewry was criticized in Parliament tonight for its attitude toward efforts to solve the Polish-Jewish problem by wholesale emigration of Jews.
Complaints that world Jewry’s attitude “lacked understanding” were voiced by several deputies, including Government party representatives, during a debate on the Interior Ministry’s budget.
Deputy Waleski, of the Government side, argued there was no place for the Jewish middle class and insisted all towns must be cleared of Jews. He announced that the Government party would solve the Jewish problem “in a way befitting Pilsudski’s camp.”
Jewish Deputy Leib Minzberg told Parliament that the current debates on the Jewish question were creating the impression that Jews were no longer Polish citizens, since the question appeared to have resolved itself into discussion of how to force them to emigrate.
