Educational Body Starts Anti-jewish Boycott in Rumania

A GENERAL BOYCOTT OF JEWISH ENTERPRISES WAS LAUNCHED TODAY BY THE RUMANIAN CULTURAL LEAGUE, ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL EDUCATIONAL BODIES IN RUMANIA. THE BOYCOTT DECISION WAS TAKEN YESTERDAY AT A MASS MEETING AFTER FORMER PREMIER IORGA, PRESIDENT, HAD URGED IT IN AN ADDRESS.

A NOTE OF DISCORD WAS STRUCK AT THE MEETING BY PUBLIC HEALTH MINISTER JON CONSTANTINESCU, WHO PAID TRIBUTE TO JEWISH PHYSICIANS. HE ASSERTED RUMANIAN DOCTORS URGED THEIR ELIMINATION FROM PRACTICE, BUT THEMSELVES WERE “UNWILLING TO GO OUT INTO THE COUNTRY, WHILE JEWISH DOCTORS GO TO THE REMOTEST DISTRICTS.” “IT IS NOT MY FAULT,” HE SAID, “IF I APPOINT JEWISH DOCTORS WHO ARE WILLING TO HELP.”
