No representative of Polish Jewry is included in the new Polish Cabinet, the composition of which was announced here today. During the last few days Polish official circles had predicted that the reorganized cabinet would include a member representing the Jewish population of Poland since the Jews are the only national minority cooperating with the Polish Government-in-Exile.
It was learned here today that representative bodies of Polish Jews in the United States and in Palestine cabled to the new Polish Prime Minister, Mikolajczyk, requesting that the Jewish population of Poland be represented in the new cabinet by a recognized Polish-Jewish leader.
