JEWS. OF POLAND

PARIS, July I'm transmitting to
the Polish government the treaty,
which has since been signed by Poland
with the entente powers and the
United States. Premier Clemenceau, as
president Of the peace conference, ad-
dressed a letter to Premier Paderew-
ski setting forth the reasons why the
provisions of the document were con-
sideTed necessary.
Under the treaty Poland agreed to
protect minorities against discrimina-
ton, to assume payment OF such
share OF the Russian debt as should be
assigned to her by the inter-allied
commission. and to support important
international postal railway. tele-
graphic and other conventions incl
dental to the establishment Of ma

was dated June "A and made public
today, Premier Clemenceau said:
THE information at the disposal Of
the principal allied and associated
powers as to the existing relations be-
tween the Jews and the other Polish
citizens Aas led them to the conclusion
that in view OF the historical develop
ment of the Jewish question and the
great animosity aroused by it. special
protection is necessary for the. Jews
in Poland. These clauses have been
limited to the minimum which seems
necessary under the circumstances OF
the present day. viz: The maintenance
of Jewish schools and the protection
of the Jews in the religious observ-
ance of their Sabbath.
Nc Menace to Unity.

tions will not create any obstacle to
do not constitute any recognition of
the Jews as a separate political COM
munity within the Polish state. The
provisions contain nothing
beyond what is in fact provided in the
educational institutions of many high
~ organized modern states. There Is
nothing inconsistent with the soYeS
eighty of the state in recognizing and
supporting schools in which children
shall be brought up in the religious
influences to which they are accus-
toned in their homes. Ample safe
guards against any use OF a nOn-Pol-
ish language to encourage a spirit OF
national separation have been pro-
vided in the express acknowledgment
that the provisions of this treaty do
