The support of Polish Jews in America to Warsaw “in any emergency that may arise which threatens the independence of Poland” was conveyed today to Count Jerszy Potocki, the Polish Ambassador, by a delegation of the Federation of Polish Jews in America which visited him at the Ritz Towers.
A declaration given to Count Potocki for transmission to Warsaw added to the promise of support an expression of hope “that in any consideration of emigration and resettlement confronting your country, Jewish emigration will be treated as an integral element of the entire Polish emigration problem.”
The Ambassador, expressing gratitude that Polish Jews here had followed the example of their coreligionist in Poland in pledging aid to the State, expressed agreement with the sentiments voiced about the emigration problem and promised to transmit the declaration to Warsaw.
The delegation included Benjamin Winter, president of the federation; Zelig Tygel, Z. executive secretary; Herman B. Oberman, chairman of the administrative committee, Dr. Simon Segal and Jacob Brown.
