Queen Marie Expresses Astonishment at Anti-jewish Excess Reports

Terms Reports “Shameful Rumors”; “Roumanians Peaceful People” (Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

Queen Marie, who, on her arrival in the United States declared that the Jews are well treated in Roumania and that they are the “King’s children,” has joined the ranks of those Roumanians who deny the occurrence of the anti-Jewish excesses.

In an interview with the representative of the United Press, the Queen expressed her astonishment that “American public opinion believes the shameful rumors of the anti-Jewish pogroms.” The Queen declared that “Roumanians are a peaceful people and this excludes the possibility of excesses.”
