PADEREWSKI CONCERT CAN
CELLED FOLLOWING JEWISH
PROTEST.

TOronto-Ignace Paderewski, the IA
nous Polish pianist, is not coming to
Toronto for recital, according to Mr..
Dokowslli, Polish clergyman here,
who has been informed by the pian-
list that he may abandon the Ameri-
can concert tour.
Interest centers around this an
nouncement because of the storm
caused by the proposed recital follow
ing the threat of a section of Jewish
population to boycott Paderewski be-
cause of the pianist's political record
in Poland.
That Mr.. Paderewski is mindful OF
the criticism is shown by his letter
to Mr.. Dokowski, stating that evil
minded men have spread propaganda
about the maltreatment Of Jews in
Poland" Independent Poland he
asserts. projects all citizens i'm an
cgual measure, without regard to
origin or creed, and resurrected Poland
will yet be model of n lew ruled
