Polish Jews are demanding a portion of the gold and valuables which will be allotted to Poland by the inter-Allied conference which is to meet shortly in Brussels to divide the gold and other loot seized by the Nazis in occupied countries, it was learned today.
A delegation of the Central Committee of Polish Jews conferred with the Finance Ministry and pointed out that the great bulk of the valuables seized in Poland came from Jews. The Ministry suggested that the Committee prepare documentary evidence, based on its records, of the valuables looted from Jews, which the Polish delegation will submit to the Brussels conference. Representatives of the Committee will accompany the delegation.
According to preliminary estimates it is expected that Poland will be allotted 12,500 kilograms of gold, valued at about 8,000,000,000 zlotys (nominally $53,000,000.)
