The situation in Poland came up for discussion at the 25th. annual meeting of the American Jewish Committee, held here to-day under the chairmanship of the President, Dr. Cyrus Adler.
After listening to an exhaustive report on the Polish-Jewish situation, the American Jewish Committee expressed satisfaction that the excesses had been discontinued, but the meeting went on to emphasise, however, that the American Jewish Committee views with anxiety the growing anti-Jewish boycott movement in Poland.
The Jews are willing to co-operate with Poland, the report presented to the meeting declared, but it is futile for the Polish Government to expect fervent co-operation unless and until the Jews in Poland are whole-heartedly received into the political and economic life of the country.
The meeting also discussed the Jewish situation in Germany, Roumania and Greece, as well as the discriminations existing against Jews in America.
In this last connection, the meeting rejected a proposal which was submitted to it for the establishment of medical schools for Jews in America, taking the view that this would not solve the question of discrimination.
The 25th. anniversary of the existence of the American Jewish Committee was celebrated to-day at a special public meeting addressed by Dr. Cyrus Adler, the President, Mr. James Marshall, son of his predecessor, the late Louis Marshall, and Judge Irving Lehman, one of the two Vice-Presidents.
Dr. Cyrus Adler has been re-elected President of the American Jewish Committee, and Mr. Julius Rosenwald and Judge Lehman have been re-elected Vice-Presidents.
