came out against the suggestion made by ex-Premier Vaida-Voevod that a numerus clausus be introduced throughout Rumania against the national minorities. As a national minority paper, the Hitlerite organ in Czernowitz attacks the ex-Premier’s project.
The sudden change of attitude of the Nazi paper is explained by the fact that Voevod’s project, if carried out, would affect not only the Jewish national minority but all other national minorities of Rumania, including the Germans.
Ex-Deputy Dr. Meyer Ebner, the president of the Jewish party of Rumania, in an editorial in his paper here, the Ostjuedische Zeitung, points out that if the numerus clausus is to be imposed, it should at least be applied in all spheres, including state, administration, government and civil and military authorities. The Jews would then actually benefit by so wide an application of the clausus, because they would at least be properly represented in civil and in military institutions as well as in government offices.
“To restrict the numerus clausus of the minority only to the schools, trade and industry, is an injustice,” Dr. Ebner declares.
