Poland’s Granting Lloyd George’s Request on Rabbi’s Case Criticized by Paper

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

The courtesy of the Polish government in granting the request of David Lloyd George to renew Rabbi Leib Hurwicz’s license to sell tobacco was attacked by the “Rzccz Pospolita” influential Polish newspaper here.

“We knew Lloyd George was not over friendly toward Poland. We thought, however, that he was busy with his party troubles. We wonder whether Lloyd George, who is known for his ruthlessness, has threatened to send the British fleet to bombard the Galician town Romanow if the license of Rabbi Hurwicz will not be renewed,” the paper writes.
