“Not all is well” in the ranks of the Christian League of Roumania, the Roumanian Anti-Semitic Party of which Professor Alexander Cuza is the leader.
The split which was expected in the Cuza Party is widening daily. Several leaders, dissatisfied with the policy of Cuza, have seceded declaring that they are going to form a new anti-Semitic party. In a manifesto published by the seceding group, the leaders complain of the parliamentary methods employed by the Cuzists, who are flirting with the Government and “slackening” in their anti-Jewish campaign.
The new party, they announced, will be Fascist, will boycott parliamentary activity and will adopt the method of “organized, direct action of violence,” where this action was previously only sporadic.
“We are prepared to give our lives to accomplish our purpose,” the leaders of the new group declare in their manifesto.
Alexander Cuza, “the boss” of the League, started warfare against the new party, answering his opponents’ charges with countercharges, that they were “associated with Jews in business.” The newspaper “Cuvintul,” the organ of the new anti-Semitic party, is also a Jewish paper, Cuza says.
Cuza called a “grand council” of the party which is to meet on August 15 in Jassy, to take stock of the situation.
