Poland will impose the death penalty on those found guilty of terroristic acts against national, racial or religious groups, Professor Oscar Lange, Ambassador of Poland to the United States, stated in a letter to the World Jewish Congress released here today.
The letter, addressed to Dr. Laurice L. Perlzweig, head of the politicked department of the organization, emphasized that Jewish citizens in Poland enjoy equality of treatment in the army, in the government administration and in private economic life and that, with government aid, they are permitted to develop their own religious and cultural institutions. “The Polish Government desires that the Jewish people may feel at home in Poland, but will not interpose any difficulties to Jews who should wish to emigrate to Palestine,” the letter said.
