The League of British Jews, a conservative and non-nationalist Jewish body in Great Britain, joined the ranks of the Jewish organizations protesting against the mistreatment of Jews in Roumania.
At the annual meeting of the League held Sunday, a resolution was presented by Lionel Rothschild, president of the League, and seconded by Lucien Wolf, secretary of the Joint Foreign Committee, protesting against the Roumanian government.
The resolution charges the Roumanian government with “neglect to restrain the lawless and dangerous agitation which is causing suffering to Roumanian Jews, public insult to their religion and impeaches their patriotism and personal honor. Outlawry is advocated and the rabble is incited to anti-Jewish pogroms,” the resolution states.
The League also decided to bring the insecurity of the Jews in Roumania to the notice of the League of Nations.
