THE FASCIST IRON GUARD TODAY GAVE “FORWARD MARCH” ORDERS TO ITS ANTI-SEMITIC “TRADE BATTALION” AS A CHAIN OF COOPERATIVE GENERAL STORES BEGAN TO ARISE AIMED AT FORCING JEWS OUT OF BUSINESS.
NEW CHAIN STORES, SELLING GOODS AT COST PRICES, ARE OPENING EVERY WEEK TO COMPETE WITH JEWISH-OWNED ENTERPRISES. STORES ARE PLANNED IN EVERY RUMANIAN TOWN. FIVE COOPERATIVE SHOPS ALREADY ESTABLISHED IN BUCHAREST ENJOY CONSIDERABLE SUCCESS.
THE IRON GUARD STORES FORM IMPORTANT CENTERS OF ANTI-JEWISH PROPAGANDA. THEY ARE SITUATED IN DISTRICTS DENSELY POPULATED BY WORKMEN.
IN CONNECTION WITH THE “BATTLE AGAINST JEWISH TRADE,” ZELEA CODREANU, HEAD OF THE IRON GUARD, ISSUED A MANIFESTO TODAY WHICH SAYS:
“THE GREATEST DANGER WHICH EVER MENACED OUR LIVES IS THE DANGER OF JEWISH CONQUEST. YOU WILL HAVE TO FIGHT THE ENTIRE JEWISH ECONOMIC FORCE. WITHIN A SHORT TIME OUR FLAG WILL FLY IN EVERY TOWN AND CITY. IRON GUARD TRADE BATTALION, I ORDER YOU TO FORWARD MARCH!”
