Jewish Population of Poland Especially Jewish Youth Shown Admirable Restraint Combined with Sense of

The wave of antisemitic outbreaks which started in the Polish Universities have extended to the streets in the towns and townships of the country, says a manifesto to the Jewish population of Poland, issued to-day by the Club of Jewish Deputies. To these numerous excesses conducted with unspeakable savagery and beastliness, under the direction of a secret hand in the General Staff of the National Democratic Party, the manifesto proceeds, has now been added the insane boycott battle.

The Jewish public, and especially the Jewish youth, have shown admirable restraint during the whole of the time they were subjected to these acts of physical violence, the manifesto goes on, coupled with a sense of Jewish worth and with heroic determination in facing the attacks.

A ray of light in the midst of this cultural darkness of National Democratic hooliganism and violence, it says, was the condemnatory attitude taken up by the great majority of the Polish public, which denounced this trampling down of law and order by these young hooligans animated by their wild religion of hatred.

We place it on record, the Club of Jewish Deputies declares, that the attitude of the Government has been in accordance with the elementary duties of a State authority, taking energetic measures in most cases, although, it adds, we cannot keep silence with regard to cases of shortcoming in this respect on the part of some of the security authorities.

The representative Jewish body in the Polish Parliament, the manifesto concludes, calls upon the Jewish public to stand firm in its endurance. We Jews are an ancient people, accustomed to persecutions, and we have successfully survived innumerable outbreaks of terrorism, and we shall certainly survive the present outbreaks. The only thing is that the shameless and merciless enemy should not find a divided and weakened Jewish people.
