While Yiddish papers here were being confiscated for publishing substantiated reports of anti-Semitic bomb outrages. Polish anti-Semites were carrying out further bombings of Jewish clubs and the police obtained proof that the outlawed National Radical anti-Semitic group was proceeding with illegal activities.
The anti-Semitic press, headed by the Endek organ Gazeta Warszawska is once more taking the offensive against the Jews and whipping up a new anti-Semitic campaign against the 3,500,000 Polish Jews.
POLICE FIND PAMPHLETS
Masses of newly printed leaflets calling for the organization of mass assaults against Jews in every part of Poland and plans for a renewed and vigorous anti-Jewish campaign to be conducted in secret were found by Polish political police today when they raided the homes of Nara anti-Semitic leaders.
The outlawed group, whose activities were forbidden last July, was found to be functioning completely as an illegal party. Seventeen Nara leaders were arrested by the raiders.
Haint and Moment, Warsaw Yiddish dailies, were confiscated by the authorities today for having printed accounts, whose accuracy was not denied, of havoc caused in a clubhouse of the Brith Trumpeldor, Revisionist youth group, at Parnara by a bomb thrown by anti-Semites. So powerful was the bomb that even the thick walls of the building were completely shattered.
WRECK BUND BUILDING
At Pruzany the premises of the Bund, Jewish Socialist organization, were demolished by unknown anti-Semites, who wrecked the interior of the building, destroying all the furniture and defacing the portraits of Jewish Socialist leaders hanging on the walls.
Gazeta Warszawska, bitterest anti-Jewish paper in Poland, today praised the Polish government for having honored Director Szafar of the Warsaw Palestine office.
“He deserves our gratitude for having taken so many Jews out of Poland,” the paper declared.
The Endek paper also demanded that the government exclude Jews from military service, urging instead that a special military tax be levied on the Jews in lieu of army service. Only during a war should Jews be permitted to serve in the Polish army, Gazeta Warszawska said, and then only as special Jewish labor corps behind the lines.
