A delegation representing the Committee of Polish Jews in the USSR today submitted to Prof. Henryk Reabe, Polish Ambassador in Moscow, a resolution protesting against the anti-Jewish terror in Poland. The resolution demands that:
1. These insparing anti-Jewish ricts, and participating in them directly or indirectly, be punished severely.
2. A decree should be issued by the Polish Government outlawing anti-Semitism and providing penalties for conducting anti-Jewish propaganda, along the same lines as has been done in Bulgaria.
3. Jews who are being repatriated from the USSR, or from camps in Germany, to Poland should be protected so that they may enjoy full security in all parts of the country, wherever they may choose to settle.
4. A detailed plan should be worked out for the repatriation of Polish Jews from the various sections of the Soviet Union.
The delegation also demanded that a part of the UNRRA relief shipments to Poland should be sent to the approximately 200,000 Polish Jews presently residing as refugees in the USSR. The ambassador displayed keen interest in the fate of these Jews and asked the delegation for frequent reports on their situation. Members of the delegation emphasized that many of the Polish Jews in the Soviet Union are making preparations to return to Poland.
