The convening of an international congress of anti-Semites, without regard to nationality, race or religion, is one of the aims of the Polish boycott organization.
Plans to this effect were formulated at the Rozwoj congress which was in session here for two days. Forty-one delegates attended the sessions.
Reports submitted to the Congress expressed satisfaction with the organization’s work to de-Judaize the handicrafts in Poland. In thirty-three towns in the eastern provinces of the Polish Republic, Polish Christian artisns have succeeded in driving out the Jewish artisans. A directory of Christian firms and enterprises has been prepared by the organization to guide those who adhere to the policy of boycotting Jews.
The organization distributed 200,000 copies of booklets and proclamations advocating the anti-Jewish boycott policy during the past year. The Rozwoj also established libraries containing anti-Jewish literature. Before closing the congress adopted resolutions urging the executive to form a youth organization and a women’s organization to extend the work of carrying the gospel of anti-Jewish boycott.
