A delegation of three leaders of the Jewish Socialist Bund of Poland arrived here today to report on conditions of Jews in that country and to secure aid from Jewish labor groups in the United States. This is the first group of Jewish representatives from liberated Poland to reach this country. The delegation, composed of Dr. Michael Szuldenfrei, Solomon Fiszgrund and Gregor Jaszunski, are guests of the Jewish Labor Committee.
At a press conference here, they declared that anti-Jewish terror has now subsided due to the strong measures of the Polish Government and that panic among Jews has, therefore, declined. They reported that the Government is permitting emigration of Jews to Palestine, and that more than 16,000 Polish Jews have been settled in Silesia with Government aid. About 120,000 Polish Jews will soon be repatriated from Russia to Poland, they reported, adding that the first 20,000 are expected to reach Poland this month.
