Exaggerated reports of the speeches delivered last Sunday at the protest meeting held under the auspices of the Federation of Polish Jews have been broadcast in Poland by the Polish Telegraphic Agency, it is stated to-day.
The Polish Telegraphic Agency reported Dr. S. M. Margoshes, the editor of the Yiddish daily, the “Day”, as saying: “Down with Poland”, a statement which was widely commented upon in the Polish press, Dr. Margoshes points out, explaining that what he actually did say was: “If it be polities to neglect the protection of Jews against riots and bloodshed, then our cry must be: down with politics”.
Dr. Margoshes has written to the Polish Telegraphic Agency calling attention to the fundamental difference between what he said and what was reported, and requesting that the correction be made by cable.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
