The council of governors of Polish Upper Silesia decided today to introduce a law restricting kosher slaughtering. The decision must obtain the approval of the mixed autonomous committee supervising minority rights in the German and Polish sections of Upper Silesia.
The proposal was held in authoritative quarters to violate the German-Polish minorities agreement, entered into under League of Nations auspices, which is still observed by Germany in the German part of the territory. The agreement expires next Summer.
