For publishing a New York cabled dispatch containing the statement of the American Jewish Congress, signed by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise and Bernard S. Deutsch, expressing the hope that the United States will act with other signatories of the Versailles Treaty to insure protection of minorities in Europe, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency’s daily bulletin of news to the Polish press was confiscated here yesterday.
The statement was issued in New York Friday following a special meeting of the foreign relations committee of the American Jewish Congress, summoned to consider the implications of the Polish refusal to cooperate with the League of Nations on minority rights.
