Jewish public opinion in Poland follows with great interest the events in the Club of Jewish Deputies in the Polish Sejm, which threatened to cause a split in the Club.
Deputies Leon Reich and Rozmarin, president and vice-president of the Club, have not withdrawn their resignation, despite efforts being made to persuade them to remain in office.
Another meeting of the Club was called for today and will be presided over by the second vice-president, Deputy H. Farbstein, leader of the Mizrachi in Poland. Of particular comment was the fact that the deputies belonging to the Agudath Israel expressed opposition to the Polish Jewish agreement.
A special meeting of the Zionist Party Council was called for tomorrow to consider the events in the Club, with a view to avoiding a split. All deputies belonging to the Zionist Party will attend.
It was stated that in case a split occurs within the Club, a new club of Jewish deputies, headed by Deputy Gruenbaum, would be formed under the name of the Jewish Democratic Club. Twelve deputies and senators are expected to join this club.
A prominent member of the Club of Jewish Deputies when interviewed by the correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency yesterday stated that a split is not likely to occur.
