Urging the Polish government to emulate Nazi Germany in its measures against the Jews, the Gazeta Warszawska, official organ of the Polish National Democratic party, today published an article demanding that the Jews in Poland be placed in such a position that they will be compelled to leave the country in large masses “until not a single Jew remains.”
No half-way measures will do, the paper writes. It points to the twenty-five year plan suggested recently by George Kareski, the German Jewish leader, which provides for the organization of a systematic emigration of Jews from Germany in order to take all of them out of the country within the next twenty-five years.
CITES NAZI SUCCESS
“This plan only proves that the Nazi methods with regard to the Jews are successful and that the only way to convince the Jews that they are not wanted is not to use half-way measures against them,” the paper states.
“The German example must be followed also by Poland,” the paper continues. “Half-way measures in dealing with the Jewish problem in our country will lead to nothing. We must find a way to compel the Jews to emigrate en masse from Poland. Not a single Jew must remain in our country.”
The National Democratic (Endek) members of the municipality in Lodz today refused to consider the proposal made by the Government Commissar that they apologize for the physical injuries they inflicted upon a number of Jewish municipal councillors in an attack made by them at one of the recent sessions of the Municipal Council. One of the Jewish councillors injured is Leib Minzberg, the president of the Jewish community of Lodz.
The plenary session of the Municipal Council had to be postponed when the Endek faction rejected the proposal of the Government Commissar that they apologize to the Jewish members.
