The Jewish National Council in Poland has submitted a petition to the Minister of Justice to expedite the trials which are still pending in connection with the anti-Jewish disturbances which occurred in various parts of Poland last November. The results of the trials held so far, the petition complains, are an insult to Polish Jewry and the statement of the ground for the verdict handed down by the court in the Wulfin trial, alleging that Jews hate Christians, is likely to create a false impression that the Jews were responsible for the excesses against themselves, and in addition, that the Court intended it as a warning addressed to the Jewish population that they must not defend themselves in case of future attack, under penalty of severe punishment.
