No Faith in Polish-jewish Goodwill Idea Fostered by Polish Diplomats in America: Purely for Export S

The Polish-Jewish Goodwill idea, which is fostered by Polish diplomats in the United States, is merely for export purposes, and not for consumption in Poland, the Jewish press and the Jewish leaders in Poland declare in commenting on the friendly receptions given by the leaders of the Polish Government to Mr. Jacob Landau, the Managing Director of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, and Mr. B. Smolar, the J.T.A. Special Representative, both of New York.

While the Polish diplomats in the United States talk such a lot there about goodwill, the Yiddish press writes, the Polish press in Poland totally ignores the whole business. The Conference, for instance, which the Polish Ambassador in America, M. Filipowicz, had last December with the leaders of the American Jewish Committee and of the Federation of Polish Jews in America, was not even mentioned in any of the Polish papers, not even to the extent of stating that such a Conference had been held. Similarly all the statements which are being made by members of the Cabinet, and even by the President of the Republic, to Mr. Landau and to Mr. Smolar during their present stay here, although reported in full in the Jewish press, are not even mentioned in any of the Polish papers. This double book-keeping, the Jewish leaders here say, provides most conclusive proof that what the Polish diplomats are doing abroad with a view to getting the Jews of these countries to help Poland by making them believe that everything in Poland is for the best, is not taken sufficiently seriously in Poland itself to obtain even mention in the Polish newspapers.
