Deputy Landau is not the Investigator-General of Pou#ania, making his appearance now at the Dniester, now in Bucharest, and now again in Jassy, to conduct investigations into the position in these various places, the Prime Minister, Professor Jorga, said ironically, amid cheers from the Government benches, when he read out in the Chamber a report on the recent disturbances in Jassy which he had received from the Jassy Prefect.
They are the worst antisemites, these people like Deputy Landau, the Prime Minister added.
The report from the Prefect, which had just arrived, showed how serious the excesses were, the Premier went on. The Prefect states in his report, he proceeded that Deputy Landau had telephoned to him at eleven o’clock at night, demanding complete information with regard to the occurrences, and wanting to know particularly who were the guilty persons. The Prefect took the attitude that Deputy Landau’s presence in Jassy might lead to further disturbances, the Premier explained, and refused to supply him with information.
The Prime Minister then described the savage nature of the demonstrations against the military and the police, in the presence of high authorities. Many soldiers had been injured by stones and sticks, he said. One student had been found in possession of a big quantity of pepper which he had brought to throw into the eyes of the soldiers.
