The present Roumanian Government is absolutely in earnest in combating antisemitism, but the American Jews must remember that the main reason of the riots is the grave economic condition of the country, the Roumanian Minister to the United States, M. Davila, declared to-day in addressing the Annual Convention now in session of the Federation of Roumanian Jews in America. The Ambassador appealed to the Roumanian Jews of America to help in improving the economic conditions in Roumania.
Mr. Bernhard Deutsch, the President of the American Jewish Congress, in responding said that he appreciated the vigorous steps taken by the Roumanian Government now to combat antisemitism, but I cannot agree, he went on, that the rights to which the Jews of Roumania are entitled under the Peace Treaties should be granted them only when desirable economic conditions have been restored.
The Convention has adopted a resolution pledging itself to help the Roumanian Jews.
