The Polish Ministry of Information today reported that anti-Semitic leaflets are being secretly distributed among Polish officers and soldiers stationed in Scotland, but their source has not yet been discovered.

“An investigation into the dissemination of the anti-Jewish literature has been started, since the views expressed in the leaflets do not represent the views of the Polish authorities.” the announcement of the Polish Ministry of Information said.

In Polish parliamentary circles here it was stated today that the number of Jewish members in the Polish National Council may be increased from the present two to three when Premier Sikorski returns to London from his trip to the United States. A complete reorganization of the Council is expected shortly after Gen. Sikorski’s return. The reorganization will increase the strength of the democratic groups in the Council, particularly that of the Peasant Party and of the Polish Socialist Party.
