Rome Greets Goga’s “crusade Against Jews”

Italian press support of Premier Octavian Goga’s government in Rumania was climaxed today when Virginio Gayda, authoritative Italian spokesman, greeted Gogas “crusade against the Jews, who are considered a danger to the Rumanian nation.”

Gayda, visiting Bucharest on what was rumored to be a semi-official mission, said in a dispatch to Popolo d’Italia, Premier Mussolini’s newspaper, that “the Jewish problem is a matter of life and death for the Rumanian people.”

Goga’s policy was not improvised at the last moment but is the consequence of a “long and profound national movement,” Gayda asserted, giving his blessing to “the great historical experiment started in Rumania.”

Minister Without Portfolio Alexander Cuza, co-leader with Goga of the Rumanian National Christian Party, told Italian correspondents that he would insist on a totalitarian solution of the Jewish problem and “intervention of foreign diplomats does not impress us.”

“We are still less influenced by the intervention of the League of Nations,” Cuza declared. “The League was created by Jews to oppress non-Jews.” Il Messagero and Voce d’Italia published long interviews with Goga, Cuza and Corneliu Zelea-Codreanu, head of the Fascist Iron Guard.

La Stampa declared in its leading article today that Jewish domination of democratic countries was an accomplished fact. The “domination” was achieved, the paper said, through methods outlined in “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” discredited record of a purported Jewish plot for control of the world.

“The ‘Protocols’ is the true expression of Jewish character and Jewish mentality,” the article asserted, adding,” the reader of the ‘Protocols’ is able to follow through all its phases the progressive Jewish conquest of the world and admire their subtle methods.”
