The Conference of the League of Christian National Defence, the Cuzist organisation, which has just been held at Jassy, where the movement has its headquarters, has passed without any disturbances.

Professor Cuza and other speakers delivered addresses in opposition to the policy pursued by the regular political parties, but there were no incidents.

This is the second Cuzist Conference held in the course of a few days, which has passed without disorder, a very unusual occurrence with Cuzist Conferences. The first was held at the end of February in Suoro-Jinetz (reported in the J.T.A. Bulletin of the 2nd. inst.) Professor Cuza’s son, George Cuza, and other speakers who addressed that Conference, declared that they had no intention of killing or robbing Jews, and only wanted an opportunity of free development for the Christians. On the eve of the Conference Professor Cuza had issued an appeal to his friends that the Conference and particularly that which has just been held at Jassy should pass without disorder, urging them in future to conduct their work peacefully for the good of the Roumanian people.

This is a new attitude of Cuza’s, the “Lupta” of Bucharest commented at the time, and we hope he will stand by his new policy. It suggests that Cuza intends to break with Codreanu and the rest of the Iron Guard who have been organising terrorism and violence. The whole country hopes, it said, that Cuza is indeed abandoning his old terroristic ideas.
