The Polish Cabinet, at its meeting last night rejected the demand of the anti-Semitic Endek Party that Professor Tedeuss Blelecki, Endek leader, he appointed vice-Premier. The demand was advanced as the price for Endek support of the present Polish Government of General Sikoraki. It is understand that the Endak group is demanding that the Sikorski cabinet accept almost the entire Endek pre-war program, including the policy of violent anti-Semitism and a forced execution of Jews from Poland after the war.
