The Union of Roumanian Jews is an illegal organization, the Cuzist Deputy Paul Ilescu declared in Parliament.
The report of the military prosecution, Deputy Ilescu said, contains very grave statements proving that the Union of Roumanian Jews is in constant communication with similar organizations abroad.

He therefore demanded that the War Minister should publish all the documents relating to the search made by the military authorities in the building of the Union of Roumanian Jews.
