In reply to Colonel Josiah Wedgwood, who had asked the Foreign minister whether he could state what representations had been made to the League of Nations as to the treatment of the Jewish minority in Roumania at Jassy, and whether any steps were to be taken to improve matters of this sort in Roumania, Captain Eden, the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, said in the House of Commons to-day that Colonel Wedgwood presumably referred to the incidents which occurred in Jassy on the 22nd. and 23rd. March last, when there was a collision between a number of students. I am not aware that any complaint has been addressed to the League of Nations, he added, and according to recent information, the conflict in question was not due to any antisemitic feeling, but to other causes.
