  • Poles and Jews: the Quest for Self-Determination 1919- 1934
    Poles and Jews: The Quest For Self-Determination 1919- 1934 By Feigue Cieplinski Poland became an independent nation against all odds in the interwar period and retained her sovereignty from 1919 to 1939; hence the concept “interwar Poland.” The vicissitudes of her existence earned her the name of “God’s Playground.” [1] The Jews within her borders shared her history since 1240 C.E. Their freedoms during this period, unequaled in other places of Western Europe, earned Poland the Biblical allusion of “New Canaan.” [2] In contrast, some scholars have described Poland’s Jewry in the interwar Republic as being “On the Edge Of Destruction.” [3] That Polish Jewry was in distress is attested by the urgent visit of Mr. Neville Laski, a member of the British Joint Foreign Committee closely associated with the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and the Joint Distribution Committee, in 1934. [4] His August visit fell between two historical events framing Polish Jewry’s status: seven months before, in January of that year, Poland and Germany signed a bilateral non- aggression declaration and in September Colonel Josef Beck, as Foreign Minister, announced in Geneva, his country’s unilateral abrogation of the Minorities Treaty in force since 1919. The scholars listed below have studied separately either the birth of Poland and the imposition of the Minorities Protection Treaty, the rapprochement between Poland and Germany, or the situation of the Jews in Poland. However, they have paid scant attention to the nexus between the rise of Hitler, the rapprochement between Poland and Germany, the demise of the Minorities Protection Treaty, and the consequent worsening situation of Polish Jewry.

  • Distribution and Seasonal Movements of the House Sparrow
    Bird-Banding 2o] NICHOLS,Distribution of theHouse Sparrow January DISTRIBUTION AND SEASONAL MOVEMENTS OF THE HOUSE SPARROW By Joun T. N•cuoLs Fi•oM January, 1930, to October, 1933, 450 House Sparrows were banded at Garden City, New York. Adult House Sparrowsare notoriouslytrap-shy, seldomrepeating or return- ing. Such scattering repeats and returns as there have been to date do not, in themselves,prove much as to the local move- ments of the species. However, adults were banded on the right leg, and recog- nizably young birds on the left leg, thus dividing the popula- tion into six groupseasily recognizableat the trapping station by sight. The varying proportionsof these groupspresent by observationare shownin percentagesin Table 1. We will begin by summarizing the most obvious and best groundedconclusions based on this table: (1) Young birds as a class leave the trapping station im- mediately if they are strong on the wing and independent of their parents. Their leaving seemsto be due to lack of place memory, correlated with a general lack of memory which causesthem to repeat much more freely than the adults. It is not that they are crowded out by the adults or seek a differ- ent environment,for at the sametime the proportionof birds of the year at the station rises, as would be expectedat that season. It is rather a matter of chance,with a drifting popula- tion, chancewhich will later bring a small proportion of them back to the station again. (2) The proportion of banded adult males at the trapping station has risen rapidly since 1930 with continued banding, and is subjectto wide seasonalfluctuations, which can only be explained by a more or less regular return of birds from out- side to the station.
