The Club of Jewish Deputies in Poland has decided unanimously to take a stand against all moves on the part of the Right for a vote of lack of confidence in the present government or any of its members.
Deputy Hartglas, the President of the Club of Jewish Deputies, speaking at the meeting of the Club, said that in view of the political situation he proposed that the Club should support the Government. Several of the speakers in the debate which followed objected that the Government had not given effect to the Jewish demands and that the Vice-Premier, Professor Bartel, in his speech in the Sejm had made many statements which were anti-Parliamentary in character. On the other hand, they agreed that the Club of Jewish Deputies must realize the danger of the Government being succeeded by a combination of the Right parties who would certainly not observe the principles of Parliamentary Government. In addition the parties of the Right and the Centre are outspokenly anti-Semitic and are seeking to bring about the complete economic ruin of the Jewish population of Poland. The Club of Jewish Deputies, it was realized, must do everything possible therefore to prevent the possibility of their coming to power.
