The promulgation of a special law setting forth the rights and privileges of the national minorities in Greater Roumania was demanded in a memorandum submitted to Prime Minister Maniu by the Social Democratic Deputies, Pistiner, Flucrasch and Redisceanu.

The memorandum asks the government to take steps for the immediate regulation of the minorities’ school questions prior to the enactment of the new law. In regard to the Jewish population, the memorandum asks that the government establish state secondary schools ary school as well as elementary schools already in existence and the creation of a Jewish teachers’ seminary.

The disciplinary commission which investigated the recent disturbances in Lipkani and Britscheni submitted a report showing the guilt of two assistant prefects in the towns mentioned. The matter was referred to the Ministry of the Interior. Newspapers demand that the officials be tried and punished.
