ABC, organ of the anti-Semitic Nara Party, today hailed as moral satisfaction for the “offended feelings of the entire Polish people” the death sentence meted out by the Warsaw District Court to Judah Leib Chatzkelewicz, Jewish ex-soldier, for the murder of a Polish sergeant.

“Three million Jews who are the enemies of the Polish State and the Polish army must be evacuated to Madagascar,” the newspaper said.

The Warszawski Dzeinnik stated that the entire Polish people had interpreted the sentence as a verdict against the Jews.

Kurjer Poranny, organ of Col. Adam Koc’s government party, Camp for National Unity, published the protest against the verdict issued by the Union of Jewish Journalists of Poland and declared it was not permissible to criticize the court, adding that the Jewish journalists had done no good for the Jewish people.
