Minister of Interior Ladislow Raczkiewicz declared today that the renewal of anti-Semitic disorders throughout Poland was caused by the agitation of the anti-Jewish National Democratic (Endek) Party.
Replying to Deputy Minzberg in the course of a debate on the budget in a Sejm committee, M. Raczkiewicz admitted that a recrudescence of anti-Semitism had taken place during 1935.
Minzberg had bitterly attacked the failure of the Government to prevent anti-Jewish attacks. He cited instances in which Jews were unable to buy food because of anti-Semitic boycotts and disorders.
In his reply to Deputy Minzberg, the Minister of the Interior declared that the police on many occasions had intervened energetically to check the anti-Jewish outbreaks. He contended that it was unfair to generalize from what he described as the recent isolated cases in which insufficient police protection had been provided.
