(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
The new course of the Polish government with regard to Jewish equality rights in Poland was severely criticized by the “Dwa Grosze,” the leading anti-Semitic journal in Poland.
In an article entitled “Joy in Israel,” the paper remarks that the Jews are satisfied with the Bartel government because Professor Bartel is the first Polish Prime Minister who promised more to the Jews than to Poland. He criticized the economic anti-Semitism and carried on negotiations with the Club of Jewish Deputies concerning the abolition of the commercial disabilities of the Jews, so it appears that the broad powers granted to the government will be profitable only to the Jews, the paper states. The paper asks whether Prime Minister Bartel “intends to deliver Poland into the slavery of international Jewish finance.”
