The invitation to the “poor, persecuted, suffering Jews of Poland and Roumania to come to Bulgaria and help to build up a prosperous country”, extended in his interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in New York recently by the Bulgarian ex-Minister of Education, M. Stoyan Omarchewsky (given in the J.T.A. Bulletin of the 27th. ult.) does not mean that we want to have an immigration of penniless Jews into Bulgaria, the Bulgarian Minister in Warsaw, M. S. Robeff said to the J.T.A. here to-day.
Bulgaria, he said, would welcome the immigration of Jews who have capital and are able to start new enterprises in Bulgaria, but it cannot permit the immigration of workers, even of skilled workers.
