Challenge Roumania’s Official Organ to Prove Its Anti-jewish Charges

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency Mail Service)

The Government organ “Indreptarea” is accusing Jewish organizations, journalists, political leaders and Jewish students of being engaged in conducting a campaign in the foreign press against Roumania, writes the “Viitorul,” the organ of the Liberal Party.

“All these people,” it continues, “are in the country and are Roumanian citizens. The Government must know who they are, since the ‘Indreptarea’ is bringing these charges against them. Why then are their names not made public’ We think it is in the public interest that the names of these libellers of our country should be known, even if the Government does not intend to take proceedings against them. If the Government does not know who they are or has not sufficient evidence against them, it should stop pouring oil on the fire which Cuza is trying to light.”

“The Lupta,” organ of the Peasants’ Party reprints the challenge from the ‘Viitorul’ and comments: “We associate ourselves fully with these remarks. We are waiting for the Government organ to make public the names.”
