POLISH PREMIER ADOPTS CON
CILIATORY ATTITUDE is PRE-
PARED TO CONSIDER JEWISH
PROPOSALS.


London-Our Warsaw correspondent
telegraphs that at the Conference
which the Polish Premier had with
representative Jews, the latter made
a number of suggestions as the basis
upon which the Jews of Poland could
be expected to offer the government
their entire cooperation.
The Jewish leaders impressed the
Premier with the necessity of stopping
the circulars regularly issued by the
authorities in which the Jews are ac-
cused of Bolshevism. They also urged
that all measures be taken to prevent
further raids upon the Jewish quar-
Ter, that the press should be made to
desist from carrying on its anti-Semi-
tic campaign and that the State Coun-
Gil of the war office should issue Il
friendly appeal inviting jewish CO.
operation.
The Polish Premier in replying. de-
clared that he fully realized how
necessary it was that anti-Semitism in
Poland should cease and assured the
Jewish representatives that all their
proposals would be given the fullest
consideration. He, at the same time.
suggested that the Jewish parties
should combine in a common appeal to
the Jewish people to come to Poland's
aid in this hour of great need.
