A resolution expressing their desire to live at peace with their Jewish neighbors was adopted today at Borscha by a mass meeting, attended by over a thousand people. The chairman of the meeting was Father Gabriel Timusa. The meeting demanded the resignation of the Borscha police prefect, M. Juga, to whom the unemployment in the town is attributed.

A meeting of a different character was held at Poiana, a neighboring town, where the anti-Semites demanded the removal of the head of the Borscha municipality, the dissolution of the town council, the release of the anti-Semitic priest, Father Dumitrescu, who is charged with instigating the Borscha fire, and the withdrawal of the gendarmerie. Father Morariu, a notorious anti-Semitic clerical, who has been holding nightly anti-Semitic demonstrations, moved the adoption of the anti-Semitic resolutions at the meeting. They were passed.
