International financial control for Poland without, however, infringing on the Polish sovereignty, was foreshadowed today in a report from Warsaw published in London by the Central and Eastern European Financial News, a despatch to the New York “Herald-Tribune” states.
The report says that negotiations are now proceeding for a $200,000,000 Polish loan from the United States, Great Britain and some other states which are members of the League of Nations. The states granting the loan, according to the report, would appoint a committee to exercise control over Polish finances. The loan it is said, will be offered at very favorable terms.
COMMUNICATION TO THE EDITOR
Sir:
I read in the “Jewish Daily Bulletin” of April 15, 1926, “‘The high tension under which the Jews have so frequently worked and the sensitive nervous equipment of which they are possessed, declares Commissioner Harris, have affected their hearts, blood vessels and kidneys. Wherever Jews abound, the rate of apoplexy and the instance of high blood pressure have been a problem to all public health workers. The Jews must learn to moderate their real and to curb their energies. The prevalence of nervous diseases and diabetes among Jews is another evidence of their high geared tense and intense existence.
From my own observation of Jewish patients I think the Jewish race should learn rather to eat less than “to moderate their real and curb their energies.” I cannot but feel that the great frequency of diabetes in the Jews has more to do with their overeating than with anything else.
