Club of Jewish Deputies is Dissolved; No Unity Seen (Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Polish Jewry is entering a new phase in its political situation today as the Polish parliament was dismissed by an order of President Moscicki. New parliamentary elections will probably take place in February 1928. The presidential decree postponed the session of the Sejm after it had met for three minutes to consider the budget submitted by the government. When the opposition parties raised their objections to the fact that only the general sums of the budget were submitted without specifications as provided by the constitution, the session was closed until the end of Novemer. The term of the present Sejm expires on November 28.
Leaders of all political parties in Poland were thrown into excitement by the presidential decree and by the prospects of an immediate election campaign. The dissolution of the present Sejm marks the expiration of the Club of Jewish Deputies in which all factions of the Jewish population were represented.
Speculation has already begun as to the methods and chances of the various parties in the forthcoming election. It is predicted on good authority that in the next Sejm the Jewish deputies will not be united in one club. This is probable in view of the attitude of the various Zionist groups who have voiced their unconditional opposition to forming a bloc with the Orthodox Aguda Israel, which was formed during the last election.
