The attitude of the Jewish political leaders in the Republic of Poland toward Marshal Pilsudski’s coup d’etat was outlined in an official report submitted to the Marshal by his aides.
The report, describing the attitude of the various parties toward the events, states that the Jewish population is satisfied with the resignation of Stanislaw Wojciechowski and of the Witos cabinet, because by this they were rid of Stanislaw Grabski, the Minister of Education, who was hated because of his attitude toward the cultural needs of the national minorities, including the Jews, the report states.
The Jewish population would gladly see Jozef Pilsudski at the head of the state if his administration would include men who have an understanding of the cultural and religious needs of the Jewish population.
The Jewish commercial circles view the situation with optimism, particularly because of the stabilization of the Zloty, the report states.
