Renewed attacks against the Jews in Lodz and in Warsaw today have aroused the gloomiest forebodings among Polish Jewry. Feeling is gaining ground that serious days are ahead for Polish Jews, particularly in view of the passive attitude adopted by the Pilsudski regime toward the hooliganism of the anti-Semites.
In Warsaw, just as in Lodz, Jews were attacked on the streets by bands of anti-Semitic hooligans. It is feared that unless the government takes immediate and energetic steps to suppress anti-Jewish attacks, the hoodlum will be encouraged to resume attacks against the Jews on a wide scale.
Although the Nara party was suppressed, Nara hooligans are still at liberty and are daily growing bolder and resuming their outrages against Polish Jews. Recent attacks had all the earmarks of organized and planned affairs. Nara bands appeared on streets frequented by Jews at hours when the streets are filled with pedestrians, carried out their attacks and disappeared.
