The Polish Government desires the emigration of as many Jews as possible, preferably youths who are potential for the Jewish population.
This was stated by Otto D. Tolischus in the third of a series of dispatches to the New York Times from Warsaw. He said the Government was well aware that the immediate evacuation of more than 3,000,000 Jews, as demanded in Parliament, not only is a physical impossibility in view of present world conditions, but would mean economic suicide for Poland herself.
Increasing Jewish emigration from Poland and other East European countries, the article said, was one of the most important causes for the spread of foreign exchange control systems, for although the countries are trying to expedite Jewish immigration, they prefer to keep Jewish possessions or release them only at a profit.
