Jews to Seek Aid of Carol in Rumania

An appeal to King Carol, asking him to safeguard the rights of the Jews in Rumania, will be made by the Union of Rumanian Jews in accordance with a resolution adopted by that organization today. The resolution is the result of the wave of anti-Jewish propaganda which is now spreading throughout the country.

At the same time a united appeal by all Jewish parties has been made to the people of Rumania, urging them to abstain from the anti-Semitic campaign which is being led by ex-Premier Vaida-Voevod. The Jewish appeal is published today in the entire Rumanian press.

SCORES QUOTA DEMAND

The anti-Jewish propaganda conducted by Dr. Vaida-Voevod was openly ridiculed today by Professor Jorga, the late premier of Rumania. Professor Jorga termed Vaida-Voevod’s campaign for a numerus clausus for {SPAN}###{/SPAN} in commerce and in the {SPAN}pr###ions{/SPAN} as nothing more than “a {SPAN}###sy{/SPAN} of Vaida – Voevod’s {SPAN}roma###m{/SPAN}” which can never be {SPAN}realiz###{/SPAN}The Rumanian Minister {SPAN}###terior{/SPAN} today sent out a {SPAN}cir###{/SPAN} letter to all Labor Offices {SPAN}throu###{/SPAN} out the country, instructing {SPAN}la###{/SPAN} inspectors to enforce under all {SPAN}c###{/SPAN} cumstances the so-called Law {SPAN}f###{/SPAN} National Labor, according to which eighty per cent of the employes of each firm must be Rumanians.

“The clause asking for the ethnic origin of each employe must be filled out in every application as a primary requirement,” the Minister’s instructions state.

The Law For National Labor, enforced on the principal of ethnic origin of each employe, is leading to mass dismissals of Jewish employes, even though they are employed in Jewish firms. As a result, unemployment among Jews is assuming tremendous proportions, causing grave anxiety among the leaders of the Jewish community, who see in the application of the new law a definite sentiment to deprive Jews of their right to employment.
