these questionable privileges of engaging in new and
untried business enterprises. It is a well known fact
that many bills are passed in the legislatures based up-
on the principle of trading. You favor my bill and I
shall favor yours. This practice is not at all approved
even in the most corrupt communities. The proposi-
tion made to Polish Jewry is a form of wholesale po-
litical trading which would bring the blush of shame
to the most corrupt and crooked politician.
And what assurances have the Jews of Poland that
the agreements will be kept, unless enacted into basic
laws of the land.
If by any chance the representatives of Polish Jew-
ry accept such a settlement it will be tantamount to
a complete abandonment of all political rights and ob-
ligations of Polish Jewry. It will be a weak and cow-
ardly betrayal and desertion of the other minority
groups in Poland which have been fighting for their
equal rights. It were better for Polish Jewry to suffer
its present discriminations and hardships rather than
sell its human heritage for the ancient mess of pottage.
Either the Jews of Poland are free and equal or they
are not. They cannot achieve anything by barter and
sale .
We are hopeful that the Jewish representatives will
remain true to the spirit which always moved our
people in the darkest days.
