Poverty was given as an excuse for the anti-Jewish excesses on the part of Roumanian students, by Octavian Goga, Minister of the Interior, in an interview granted press representatives at his castle in Transylvania. The erection of dormitories for the students would be a means of quieting the movement. Goga declared.
“The student movement has been called into existence by the poverty prevailing among them. The students need a greater number of dormitories, and I will open hotels for them all over the country. This will solve the problem.” Minister Goga declared.
As to the position of the national minorities in the country, the Minister declared that the new year will see improvements in the cultural and educational situation of the minorities.
