Under, the procedure of the Seym, only those Parliamentary groups are entitled to representation on the Commissions which consist of at least ten Deputies. The Jewish Club in the present Seym consists of only seven Deputies. The Club of Jewish Deputies, however, asked that an exeption should be made in the case of the Clubs representing minorities, so that they should be represented on the Commissions irrespective of their numerical strength, Dr. Rosmarin, had an interview with the President of the Seym, M. Switalski, an ex-premier, in which he urged that although the Jewish Club has so few members, it nevertheless represents the Jewish nationality, and should therefore be given the right of representing it on the Parliamentary Commissions.
