Indications that the anti-Semitic elements in the Polish Government-in-Exile are still active and are enjoying the support of General Sosnkowski, the Commander-in-Chief of the Polish armed forces, were seen today in a move made here by the Polish newspaper Wiadomosie Polskie, an organ close to the head of the Polish Army.
The paper publishes a letter which the former Polish Propaganda Minister Stronski wrote to the late Gen. Sikorski, Polish Premier, in June, 1942, demanding the inclusion in the Polish cabinet of more representatives of the anti-Semitic Endek Party “even if the Soviets and the Jews would not like it.”
The fact that this letter, more than a year old, was suddenly published for the first time today in an organ which is considered the mouthpiece of the Polish Commander-in-Chief General Sosnkowski, is taken by some Polish leaders here to mean that pressure is now being exercised to have more Endeks and so-called Pilsudski-men included in the present Polish cabinet. Gen. Sosnkowski is mentioned in Stronski’s letter as leader of the Pilsudski group.
The Polish Ministry for Social Welfare today opened registration for social workers willing to be helpful in post-war relief work in liberated Poland. Polish Jews are invited to register through their organizations in London.
