The Club of Jewish Deputies in the Polish parliament will proceed to opposition against the present coalition government, if the demands formulated by the Club tending to improve the economic and political situation of the Jewish population of the Polish Republic will not be taken into consideration by the government, it became clear following a special meeting of the Club held here yesterday.
The meeting was called by Deputy Appolinary Hartglass, president of the Club, for the special purpose of considering the question of proceeding to the opposition, in accordance with a resolution adopted at the last conference of Polish Zionists authorizing the Jewish deputies, members of the Zionist Organization, to adopt an oppositional policy toward the government. Members of the Club who belong to the Agudath Israel asked for a postponement of the meeting, declaring that they would not participate in it and that any resolution taken at the meeting would not be considered binding by them.
At the meeting Dr. Leon Reich proposed that before any decision is taken, the formulated demands of the Club of Jewish deputies be submitted to Prime Minister Skrzynski. The proposal of Dr. Reich was accepted by a majority of the Club and a delegation, consisting of Deputy Hartglass and Deputy Farbstein, was instructed to call on the Prime Minister and submit the demands of the Club.
The delegation will be received by the Prime Minister tomorrow, following which another meeting of the Club will be held.
