The question of Jewish emigration from Poland was again raised in Parliament today, with Foreign Affairs Vice-Minister Szembek declaring during a Senate budget committee debate that the Government was doing all in its power to solve the question by international agreement.
Senator Koppelback, rapporteur of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, stressed the necessity for mass Jewish emigration from Poland as a means of eliminating Jews from the nation’s economic life. He said the ministry was trying to avoid forced emigration by reaching an understanding between countries of emigration and immigration. Senator Jandembski proposed that Poland, for selfish reasons as well as in the vital interests of the Jewish people, demand a land and a home for the Jews. He said Poland must compel other states possessing extensive underpopulated areas to solve the Jewish problem on an international scale.
