While the Polish government last week issued an official denial to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in Warsaw of the report that Poland was planning to send a delegation of prominent Polish Jews to the United States in order to influence American Jews to support Polish trade and credit, the Federation of Polish Jews in America, in a statement made public today, pointed out that some months ago representatives of the Polish government here unofficially informed the Federation that there was a plan to send a delegation of prominent Jewish merchants from Poland to this country, headed by Dr. Hausener, Polish commercial attache in Palestine.
The statement of the Federation also points out that when the personnel of the proposed delegation was considered the Federation suggested the names of a number of persons well known in Jewish commercial circles in Poland, persons whose names were also mentioned in the report saying that the delegation was coming here. The Federation of Polish Jews says that “since some of the officials of the Polish government here who conferred on this matter with the Federation are now in Poland it is probable that they discussed this matter with their government in Warsaw.”
