Anti-Jewish excesses in Polish universities were denounced in the Senate yesterday by Professor Mieczyslaw Michalowicz, former rector of Warsaw University and a prominent physician.
Pointing out that the Nationalist “hooligans” constituted only a small section of the students, Prof. Michalowicz said that that fact was of small account because the majority did not have sufficient courage to oppose them.
Senator Jakob Trockenheim demanded in the course of a debate on the Jewish question that Jews be allowed to enter the civil services and thus decrease to a minimum the number of Jewish tradesmen.
Senator Moses Schorr announced he would vote against the Government’s budget because of its anti-Jewish policy. Three Jewish deputies in the Sejm have already voted against the budget for the same reason.
