Poland Seeks to Ban Czaristic Lawi
Warsaw.—The abolition of the ex
istent Czarist restrictions against Jews
of Poland was proposed by the gov
ernment in the Sejm recently. Never
theless the Jews are not optimistic as
to the outcome because in the previ
ous Sejm a bill to void these laws
passed a second reading and went no
further. Hence the Jewish leaders fear
that the same thing will happen again.
Meanwhile the Jewish parliamentary
club has again placed before the cabi
net four proposals that were made to
previous governments only to be re
peatedly rejected. They are a modi
fication of the Sunday law, an exten
sion to the Yiddish and Hebrew
schools of the rights accorded to the
government schools, a cancellation of
the taxes due from impoverished tax
payers and a reduction in the taxes
on the town population, and the ap
pointment of a Sejm commission to
investigate the obstacles thrown in the
way of the Zionist candidates during
the last election by raiding Zionist
newspaper offices while the organ of
the Agudath Israel was permitted to
appear.
VS
Deputy Lewin, the Agudist deputy,
denied the allegations of the Jewish
parliamentary club that the Agudath
bad obstructed the Zionist election
campaign and challenged the right of
the Zionist deputies to speak on be
half of Polish Jewry. He maintained
that the majority of the Polish Jews
are inclined towards the Agudath Is
rael, orthodox organization.
Deputy Joshua Thon complained that
although the Jews form 10 per cent of
the population of Poland and are 40
per cent of the taxpayers, the number
of Jews in the civil service is negli
gible. Deputy Lewin again took the
floor to raise the question of the dis
astrous economic position of Polish
Jewry and utilized the opportunity for
an attack on the Zionist deputies.
Meanwhile the chances of the Jewish
deputies to make representations in
parliament and to influence that body
were further reduced by the adoption
of a resolution increasing the number
of signatures required for an inter
pellation from 15 to 30. This means
that the Jewish parliamentary club will
have to look for 24 signatures outside
of its own membership.
20,000,000 Rubles Set Aside by Russia
Moscow.—The sum of 20,000,000 ru
bles has been set aside by the Soviet
government to assist agricultural col
onies in 1931, it was announced re
cently at the closing session of the
All-Union conference of the Ozet, the
society for settling the Jews on the
land. Among the resolutions adopted
was one placing the Jewish settelment
work in Crimea on an equal footing
with that in Bira Bidjan, Far Eastern
Republic, and another encouraging the
continued infiltration of Jews into
heavy industry.
It was pointed out that the Five
Year Plan has not hurt the movement
to settle the Jews on the land, but
has served instead to relieve the eco
nomic situation of the Jews in the
small towns by furnishing work to
thousands. Michael Kalinin, chairman
of the Central Executive Committee of
the U. S. S. R., was elected honorary
president of the Ozet because of his
deep interest in the problems of the
Jewish people.
The sum of 16,400,000 rubles was
contributed by the Soviet government
in the last four years to help settle
Jews on the land under the auspices
of the Comzet and the Ozet, according
to a report submitted recently to the
All-Union conference of the Ozet, the
society for settling the Jews on the
land, which carries out the plans of
the Comzet, the government commis
sion for settling Jews on the land.
Of this sum 3,500,000 rubles were
contributed in 1929 and 7,000,000 rubles
in 1930. The report also showed that
the Ozet has settled about 23,0(X) Jew
ish families on the land, 20,(XX) of them
since 1926, when the last Ozet con
ference met. In Crimea, Ukrainia,
White Russia, Transcaucasia, and oth
er districts of European Russia about
600,000 hectares of land were distrib
uted to Jews during this period, while
3,800,000 hectares were apportioned in
Bira Bidjan, Siberia.
In addition, of those Jews whom the
Ozet settled through purely agricul
tural funds in European Russia more
than 25,000 families were established
on the soil in the immediate vicinity
of their towns. In this manner 13,000
were settled in Ukrainia, 10,000 in
White Russia, and 2,000 in other dis
tricts. Collectivization among Jewish
farmers has reached nearly 70 per cent
of the total, the report indicates.

Paris.—Hundreds of Polish Jews
now resident in France will be de

foreign identity cards to aliens desir

operated chiefly among Jews from Po
