 For Dmowski , one of Poland 's principal problems was that not enough Polish @-@ speaking Catholics were middle @-@ class , while too many ethnic Germans and Jews were . To remedy this perceived problem , he envisioned a policy of confiscating the wealth of Jews and ethnic Germans and redistributing it to Polish Catholics . Dmowski was never able to have this program passed into law by the Sejm , but the National Democrats did frequently organize " Buy Polish " boycott campaigns against German and Jewish shops . The first of Dmowski 's antisemitic boycotts occurred in 1912 when he attempted to organize a total boycott of Jewish businesses in Warsaw as " punishment " for the defeat of some Endecja candidates in the elections for the Duma , which Dmowski blamed on Warsaw 's Jewish population . Throughout his life , Dmowski associated Jews with Germans as Poland 's principal enemies ; the origins of this identification stemmed from Dmowski 's deep anger over the forcible " Germanization " policies carried out by the German government against its Polish minority during the Imperial period , and over the fact that most Jews living in the disputed German / Polish territories had chosen to assimilate into German culture , not Polish culture . In Dmowski 's opinion Jewish community was not attracted to the cause of Polish independence and was likely to ally itself with potential enemies of Polish state if it would benefit their status .
