POLAND IS AWAKENED TO
THE WRONGS SUFFERED
BY ITS JEWS.

(, Danzig, March 14.-A step to set
tie the Jewish question which has
been acute throughout Poland was
taken by the Polish Parliament when
it adopted resolution calling for
the appointment of a commission
to study the problem and find
method of solution.
The resolution was introduced by
Professor Stanislau Grabski, one of
the leaders of the National Demo
cratic party, which is the party of
Paderewski and Dmovski, who are
now in power. The appointment of
the commission is taken here as a
direct reply by the government to
the bitter and Inundated state of
mind of the Jewish population,
which was given expression on the
floor of Parliament by the Jewish
Deputy Noah Prilutski.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

Prilutski reproached the govern
ment bitterly for what he alleged
to be the systematic persecution Of
the Jews in every walk of life and
all spheres of society. In demand
ing the commission to solve the
problem, Professor Grabski said:
"a vital change has taken place in
our country. Now that Poland is an
independent state we must look up
on the Jewish question not from
theoretic nationalist standpoint but
from the standpoint Of government.
We desire no one to feel unhappy in
Poland. We want all to be good
and faithful citizens"
Following were some of Deputy
Prilutski's most striking remarks:
Jewish public opinion in Poland
is in a state of despair because the
perpetrators of excuses against the
Jews go unpublished. Dozens of Po-
lish cities and villages have written
themselves in Jewish memories in
letters of blood. Unprotected, in
nocent persons, without regard to
age or sex, have been whipped upon
their naked bodies; they have been
robbed; many have been murdered.
The names of these victims have
been made known to the govern
ment.
81 demand the government state
whether the makers of the pogroms
of Kielce and Lemberg will go I'M
punished? Another thing with
which l reproach the government
is it's failure to counterfeit official
anti-Semitism. The Jews have been
boycotted in the filling Of official
positions. All such positions have
been given to non-J ews.
Several thousand Jewish railroad
officials have been evicted from
their positions. A second form of
anti-Semistism is shown in the limi-
tatlons set upon commerce. If the
government determines to limit GER
tain branches of commerce the rules
should apply to Jews and Gentiles
alike. At present the limitations
apply only to Jews"
The economic conditions of three
quarters of the Jews in Warsaw is
extremely bad. Entire families are
seen begging in the streets for
few pfennigs to buy bread, which
costs two marks the pound. Thou

admonition to remember and to
think. =
The purest religious feeling is
gratitude to God, and that is stirred
by memory and fed by thought And
so is gratitude to man. We erect
monuments to men to remind us of
their great achievements, that we
may be thankful.
No name in the annals of Ameri-
can Jewry is Worthier of 1nonu-
ment, monument lasting and i'm
perishable, and worthier of the
gratitude of all liberal Jews, than
Isaac M. Wise, the centenary of
whose birth is. to be celebrated the
coming week. He was not only one
of the pioneer preachers of liberal
or Reform Judaism in this country,
but he was the greatest creator and
organizer of it's forces. It is due al
most entirely to his indefatigable
zeal and effort that there is a He
brew Union College for the training
of rabbis, and Union of American
Hebrew Congregations for the sup
port of the College, and for various
other activities for the promotion
of liberal Judaism in this country,
and a Central Conference of rabbis.
The centenary of his birth is to be
signalized by the raising Of a. fund
of 100000 for the subvention Of the
institutions and organizations that
he. called into being. That is the
monument that he himself has erect
ed to his memory. Liberal Jews are
called upon to secure a lasting, firm
foundation for it, The monument
bids us think and thank, thank God
for his noble life and his worthy
achievement.
