The controversy between George Cretzianu, Roumanian Minister to the United States and Leo Wolfson, president of the United Roumanian Jews of America, found a wide echo in the Roumanian press.
The “Victorul”, commenting on the exchange of letters between the Minister and the representative of the Roumanian Jews in America, as well as on the news that Palestine Jews have decided to boycott Roumanian goods because of the excesses, urges Roumanian Jewish leaders to take a stand in the matter. “This news is of so grave a nature that the Jews of Roumania should make their position known,” the paper declares.
At the first session of the Roumanian parliament yesterday, four deputies, members of the Cuza group, urged the government to disband the Jewish society, Hebron, in Bukowina, which, they claim, helps the Jews to buy land from the peasants. The Cuzist deputies also demanded that the government confiscate the forests near Feltitschen which belong to Jews. The government was also asked to explain the reason why it issued a circular exempting Jewish pupils in Bukowina from attending the public schools on Saturdays.
