The Ambassador in Germany (Wilson) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 31—2:48 p.m.]
583. Reference my 582, October 29, 3 p.m. It is learned from American press and other sources that a sort of “armistice” has been reached between Germany and Poland with regard to the banishment from Germany of Polish Jews whose passports were allegedly invalidated by decree of the Polish Government. Negotiations for a final settlement of the matter are to be begun in Warsaw tomorrow. [Page 395] It is stated that Polish Jews now in German jails have been released and that those who were in the process of being deported but had not yet crossed the border are being returned to their homes. The Polish Government is said to have agreed to permit the Jews already sent to Poland from Germany to remain for the time being.
