The argument that the Roumanian Jews disapprove the protests of the Jewish communities abroad against the happenings in Roumania, was made by George Cretzeano, Roumanian Minister in Washington, in a letter to Oscar Leonard of this city.
In an open letter addressed to the Minister, Mr. Leonard, who is a native of Roumania, objected to the implication in Mr. Cretzeano’s recent statement that the anti-Jewish disturbances in Roumania were an attempt to quell Bolshevism.
Replying to this open letter, the Roumanian Minister declared that “as I cannot discuss with you the Jewish question in Roumania and the Jewish campaign against Roumania in the United States, I have the honor of enclosing copy of a telegram that I received recently from the Roumanian Press Agency, proving that even Roumanian Jews disapprove of foreign citizens’ intruding upon the domestic affairs of Roumania, which is the worst way to come to an understanding which every high-minded man must desire.”
In support of this opinion the Roumanian Minister quotes “Unser Wort,” a Yiddish daily which recently started publication in Roumania.
