Premier Bartel, in a two and a half hours’ talk in the Sejm yesterday on the problems of the Polish nation, devoted only one short sentence to the Jewish problem.
“Directions for the regulation of the Jewish religious communities are being prepared in the form of a series of ordinances for the purpose of regulating the various activities of these communities and their relation to the state,” was all the Premier had to say about Polish Jewry’s problems. The Premier devoted just about as much attention to the Jews as he did to the Mohammedans and Karaites, saying:
“Our religious program also takes in the regulation by law of the relation of the Mohammedan and Karaite religions to the state.”
