The American Jewish Congress announced today that it has dispatched to the Polish Government-in-exile a cablegram protesting against an announcement that Government leaders are now seeking by agreement with Jewish leaders to arrange for large-scale emigration of Jews from Poland once the independence of the country is restored. A copy of the cablegram was transmitted to Ambassador Jerzy Potocki, with the request that he transmit it to his Government in Angers.
The cablegram states that this proposal is "unworthy of a Government seeking good-will of democratic and freedom loving peoples everywhere." The cablegram, signed by President Stephen S. Wise, urged "a frank statement by heads of the Provisional Government repudiating such proposals and assuring Jews everywhere of (their) desire to guarantee to Jews in Poland full equality."
