Polish authorities have strictly forbidden any further street demonstrations, such as the Polish Jews have been carrying on, as a protest against the drastic restrictions on Jewish immigration recently imposed by the Palestine government. The authorities announced yesterday that only one of the many scheduled mass meetings of protest would be permitted.
Recently Polish Zionists of various factions carried out a protest demonstration in front of the British Embassy in Warsaw. It was broken up only after the police charged the demonstrators and arrested several of them.
The Jews of Poland, who look upon Palestine as one of the few countries capable of absorbing a large number of Polish Jewish immigrants, have reacted violently to the curtailment of Jewish immigration into Palestine.
