A Warsaw court today sentenced Wladyslaw Mizerski, editor of the violently anti-Semitic newspaper, Warta, to two months’ imprisonment for making a “racket” of the agitation for an anti-Jewish boycott.
It was testified that a manufacturer who refused to advertise in Warta was stigmatized as being opposed to the anti-Jewish boycott, and Mizerski agitated, in turn, for a boycott of the manufacturer.
In addition to the sentence, the editor was ordered to defray costs of the trial and to publish the verdict in all the Warsaw newspapers.
