THE JEWS CANNOT AT PRESENT BE ENTIRELY ELIMINATED FROM THE ECONOMIC LIFE OF POLAND, AS WAS DONE IN GERMANY, BECAUSE THIS WOULD MEAN ELIMINATING WHOLE INDUSTRIES, WHICH THE POLISH GOVERNMENT CANNOT AFFORD TO DO FOR THE TIME BEING, DECLARED DR. DAVID LVOVITCH, VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD ORT UNION, WHO ARRIVED HERE THIS WEEK AFTER A TOUR OF GERMANY AND POLAND.

HOWEVER, HE DECLARED, “THE CONSTANT AND INCESSANT ATTACKS ON THE PART OF THE POLISH ANTI-SEMITES AGAINST THESE POSITIONS WILL, IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE, EVENTUALLY UNDERMINE AND PERHAPS SHATTER COMPLETELY EVEN THESE JEWISH STRONGHOLDS.” URGING THE NECESSITY OF VOCATIONAL RETRAINING, DR. LVOVITCH SAID THAT THE EXISTING NUMBER OF SCHOOLS IN POLAND, RUMANIA, LATVIA AND LITHUANIA “FALLS FAR SHORT OF MEETING THE TREMENDOUS NEEDS OF JEWISH YOUTHS FOR LEARNING A TRADE.”
