JEWS HOLD DECIDING POWER IN
POLISH PARLIAMENT POLICIES

Warsaw by |. j. 7. B.)-lhat the
fate of Paderewski's government, and
his success or failure IN securing the
adoption of his policies, lies in the
hands of the Jewish deputies in the
Polish Parliament, is the interesting
phenomenon pointed out in an article
IN a recent issue of the local "Novi
Dzienik." The article declares that
for some time there has been felt in
Polish Parliamentary and adminstra-
tive circles, strong opposition to
Premier Paderewski 1t is only with
the greatest difficulty that up to now
the governing party has been able to
assure itself Of half of the votes in
Parliament. Under these circum-
stances, with the factions otherwise
equally divided, it is only natural
that the vote Of the Jewish deputies
one way or the other can turn the
political tide, and it is therefore a fac
tor which must be considered.

The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1919-12-12

Over 200 delegates from twenty diff
ferent organizations attended the con-
vention, which was given tone by the
New York rabbis and prominent Jews.
The most important subject of de-
liberation was how to so organize or
thdox Jewry in America that it
would present a united and powerful
front, instead of being a series of sep
arate members, each Kehillah distinct
and by itself.
The problem of Jewish education
was discussed, as was also means of
securing representation for the ortho-
doX Jews in the relief work of the
Joint Distribution Committee in Eu-
rope.
Many resolutions were adopted, but
for the present these are of little val
lie, and will remain so until district
conventions can be held throughout
the country, which will work out a
general concrete platform on which
all orthodox elements in the country
can unite. This is no such simple mat
ter, as it may appear to be on the sur
face. In any event, this convention
of the Orthodox Jewish Congregations
deserves the credit Of being the first
to attempt to bring any unity into the
ranks Of orthodox Jewry.
The New York press last week suf-
fered great loss in the tragic death
of Isaac Councilman, city editor of
"The Day." who died last Friday
evening in the editorial office of the
paper.
Councilman was one of the most
popular men in the circle of Jewish
writer's During the time when he was
editor Of "The Warheit," he won for
himself many friends through his
friendly, cordial attitude toward CO.
workers, and toward outside writers,
who might be in need of his favors at
times. When "The Warheit" ceased to
exist as an Independent publication,
Councilman went over to the staff of
the consolidated "Day Warheit" on
which he filled the post of city editor
up to the time of his death. The fail
ure of "The Warhet" affected him
deeply, and he did not attend the ban
quet held to celebrate the consolidation
of the two papers, because as he said
to intimate friends, he did not wish
to attend the funeral of "The War
heit."
He did not know how soon it would
be the sad lot of his colleagues of
that other paper to attend his funer-
al. He was buried on Sunday, from his
residence in Borough Park, Brooklyn.
All the Jewish writers, and hundreds
of his friends from other walks of life
came to be present at the last hon
ors to their dead colleague.
Councilman died at the age of AZ
years, and is survived by his wife and
two children.
