Only The Hague tribunal can protect Jewish rights and property in Germany is the belief of diplomatic circles here in connection with the reported intention of the Polish Government to bring the cases of maltreated Polish Jews before the international tribunal. Protests of the Polish consulate have failed to result in any definite or satisfactory reply from the German Government. No confirmation, however, could be obtained at the Polish consulate as to whether the Polish Government intended to bring up the matter at The Hague.
Over a thousand Polish Jews in Germany have suffered as a result of Nazi attacks or economic discrimination, according to lists compiled by Polish consulates throughout Germany, but the list is reported still far from complete. The Polish Government, in filing protests with the German Government, reserved the right to claim damages. It is now expected that the Polish Government will avail itself of this provision.
