Satisfaction with the British Government’s assurances to Foreign Minister Josef Beck of Poland that it will consider plans for Jewish emigration from Poland and Rumania was expressed by Polish Ambassador Count Raczynski addressing the Manchester Luncheon Club yesterday.
Count Raczynski stated that Poland had 3,000,000 Jews, 95 percent of whom lived in towns and cities, sometimes under rather primitive conditions, in some instances not assimilating at all into Polish life. He declared that they increased more rapidly than the Poles and the question of their emigration to Palestine and other parts of the British Empire was one of great difficulty.
