Impelled by the seriousness of the Polish Jewish economic situation and the lack of immigration certificates for those who desire to settle in Palestine, Engineer Reiss, M. Blum and M. Kleinbaum, officials of the Warsaw Palestine office, left for Jerusalem today to discuss the situation with the Jewish Agency. The Warsaw Jewish representatives will ask for a substantial increase in the number of certificates assigned to Poland.
The offices are besieged by Jews begging for certificates and officials are compelled to turn them out empty-handed, the delegation declared.
Similar action is being taken in Jerusalem, it was learned. The Executive of the Jewish Agency is also organizing a committee to study the problem of Polish Jewish immigration to Palestine. The committee is expected in Warsaw shortly.
