The Peace Conference did not tend to bring unity in Poland; it rather established the disunity for as long a period as the treaty of Versailles remains to rule the world. The reader has just seen Captain Wright’s description of what the Jews demanded. Let the reader now understand what the Peace Conference decreed.
Poland is prohibited from having an election on Saturday. Poland is prohibited from having a regis¬ tration on Saturday. The Jewish Sabbath is estab¬ lished by law, and government and courts must govern themselves accordingly. Do what you like on Sun¬ day—order elections on Sunday, as the Poles sometimes do—but not Saturday; it is the Jews’ Sabbath!
“Article 11—Jews shall not be compelled to per¬ form any act which constitutes a violation of their Sabbath, nor shall they be placed under any disability by reason of their refusal to attend courts of law or to perform any legal business on their Sabbath * * * Poland declares her intention to refrain from ordering or permitting elections, whether general or local, to be held on a Saturday, nor will registration for elec¬ toral or other purposes be compelled to be performed on a Saturday.”
What the Bolsheviki did in Russia, the Peace Con¬ ference did in Poland—established the Jewish Sabbath.
The people who saw this strange setting up of Jewish customs as a part of the law of the land, one of the authorities for such action being the President of the United States, are now flocking to the United States in large numbers. Is it unreasonable for them to believe that if the President of the United States could bind Poland to Jewish custom, it is all right to bind the United States too?
