The wave of emigration from Poland will be stemmed by the Polish Government in accordance with an official ordinance issued here.
The ordinance directs the authorities to stop in toto or partly emigration from Poland to overseas countries in accordance with the conditions prevailing in those countries. The ordinance was issued, it was stated, because it was found that during the last year the majority of emigrants from Poland were unable to find employment in the countries of immigration, so that their condition in their new environment to which they were not adjusted, was worse than in their native country.
The ordinance does not apply to the wives, parents and children who are proceeding to join their husbands, sons or fathers. It is not applicable to those emigrants who wish to proceed to the United States and Palestine. Partial restrictions are placed on emigration to Brazil and Argentina.
