Polish and Jewish newspapers, continuing to comment on the Camp of National Unity’s statement on the Jewish question, charged today the new party was following the tactics of the anti-Semitic Nationalists.
Robotnik, organ of the Polish Socialist Party, declared the party, which is seeking an authoritarian regime, was indistinguishable from the Nationalists, and, furthermore, that the Polish Government had jettisoned the entire program of the late Marshal Pilsudski.
The more moderate Nationalist newspapers, which had been pressing Col. Adam Koc’s new government party for a statement on the Jewish question, said that cooperation with the new party was new possible.
The Yiddish daily, Haint, asserted that the party sought to carry out its program with the methods of the Nationalists.
“We must consider the assurance of the new party’s spokesman (Col. Jan Kowalewski, the party’s chief of staff) that it will fight anti-Semitism a piece of hypocrisy,” the editorial said.
“If the leaders of the new party do not have the patience to wait for the effects of Jewish emigration, there is no reason why the anti-Semitic mob should wait for the results of the anti-Jewish boycott when it can achieve all it desires with the help of knives and bombs.”
The Jewish War Veterans called a conference for May 2 to consider the party’s declaration.
