Professor Alexander Cuza, for a generation leader of the anti-Semitic agitation in Roumania, has promised to discontinue his anti-Semitic propaganda.
This sensational news was sprung as a surprise to the Jewish citizens of Roumania today when it was announced that Cuza had been reinstated as professor in the University of Jassy.
Professor Cuza, President of the Christian Students’ Organization, was to be brought up for trial on March 28 of last year on the charge of being involved in the murder of Monchu, the Jassy Chief of Police, by his constant incitement for the disturbances continually being carried out by the students at the Roumanian universities with the intention of forcing the Government to adopt the anti-Jewish policy of restricting the number of Jewish students at the universities. The decision to prosecute Professor Cuza followed the verdict of guilty pronounced against him by the Disciplinary Court of Jassy University which had been inquiring into the question of how far Prof. Cuza was responsible for the policy of the Christian Students’ Organization.
Professor Cuza handed in his resignation from his post as Professor of Economics at the University of Jassy on March 31 of last year and his resignation was accepted by the University authorities. In handing in his resignation, Prof. Cuza made a gesture calculated to strengthen his position on account of the prosecution against him.
