EPISCOPATE, RABBINATE MEET, CARDINAL HIS ACTS OF VIOLENCE
The Polish episcopate and the Jewish rabbinate conferred today on means of preventing the further spread of racial hatred evidence here in recent weeks by the spread of vicious anti-Semitic rioting not only in the provinces but in the capital as well.
Cardinal Kakowski, receiving the rabblinical delegation, said that the episcopate categorically condemns every kind of violence and excess inspired from any quarter. The prelate declared that the most complicated problems require a solution in the Christian spirit. He deplored. However, the Jewish share into he anti-religious disputes of the country and in the spreading of pornography. To this the rabbinical delegation replied that the anti-religious agitators fight the Jewish religion no less than the Christian which the rabbis and the general Jewish population are as energetically opposed to the spread of pornographic matter as the Christian clergy.
When Cardinal Kakowski received the delegation the venerable Rabbi Perelman blessed the prelate with a Hebrew prayer. Rabbi Kannal appealed to the cardinal to publish a pastoral letter from the Polish episcopate against racial hatred as contradictory to the spirit of Catholicism. He also urged the letter warn the laity against pagan Nazi theories “Which are contrary to the Polish spirit but which are now influencing Polish youth groups.”
The situation in Warsaw continued tense today despite the repeated urgings of the Jewish press to the Jewish population to remain clam. Several Jewish Papers were suppressed yesterday for carrying stories of anti-Semitic incidents while the Warsaw Bulletin of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency was suppressed because it reported a resolution denouncing the impending visit of Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Nazi propaganda chief.
