A Jewish merchant, M. Rotstein, was dangerously wounded when armed anti-Semites attacked the Jewish business quarter of Baltzi and fired their revolvers freely while plundering stores.
The anti-Semitic disturbances which had subsided for a time are now flaring up again and assuming a dangerous form.
A group of Borscha peasants, in a letter to Minister Voevod, indicated the names of sixteen persons who participated in starting the Borscha fire. In view of this disclosure the attorney general has ordered a supplementary investigation into the causes of the fire which the government had previously stated was not of anti-Semitic origin but accidental.
A difference of opinion exists in government circles as to whether measures adopted to curb anti-Semitic agitation were sufficient or whether more drastic measures for its suppression is necessary, declared Under-Secretary Gafencu.
