The antisemitic terrorist Iron Guard Organisation led by Zelea Codreanu has started a fierce antisemitic campaign in Transylvania in connection with the Parliamentary elections, establishing its headquarters at Borsha, where severe anti-Jewish excesses occurred last summer culminating in the burning down of hundreds of Jewish houses. Professor Corneliu Codreanu, Zelea Codreanu’s father, who is Professor Cuza’s chief aide, has arrived at Borsha.
A big antisemitic campaign has also been launched at Marmorosz, where the Jewish population is in a state of alarm.
The National Peasants’ Party, which constituted the recent Maniu and Mironescu Governments, is said to have concluded an election pact with the Iron Guard, putting Danila, the ringleader of the antisemitic agitation in Marmorsz and Borsha last summer, on its list of candidates. Other members of the Iron Guard Organisation are displeased at Danila’s action, and have sent him a letter ordering him to leave the country and threatening that otherwise he will be killed.
