Deputy Pop, of the Cuzist Party, put an interpellation yesterday to the Minister of the Interior urging him to take measures in order to Roumanianize the towns. The Minister of the Interior. M. Goga. stated in reply that there were two kinds of aliens in the country. There were aliens who were subjects of Foreign Powers and there were aliens who had come into the country from the other side of the frontier. This last class of aliens constituted a grave danger to the State. All Roumanians ought to shake them off. The minorities ought to unite in this if they did not want a large number of alien elements in the country. The general census which would be carried out on April 24th would enable the Government to take the necessary measures to this end. It was impossible to say at present what the measures would be, because announcing them beforehand would give the alien elements an opportunity of putting themselves on their guard, Goga said.
