The Nazi insistence that anti-Semitism in Roumania is growing by leaps and bounds as instanced by the introduction of a numerus clausus in the universities of Roumania was flatly denied here by Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education Pandrei, today.
In an interview with the press he stated that there was no intention of discriminating against the Jews. He insisted that Premier Voida-Voivod, in view of the shortage of space in the university laboratories was limiting the number of students. This, however, would be exclusively governed by the viewpoint of the student’s capabilities, not the religion the student belonged to, he declared.
At the same time Undersecretary Pandrei paid a tribute to the Jews declaring that the Roumanian people who themselves had been oppressed for centuries should have known better than to permit the development of anti-Semitism in their country. He declared that anti-Semitism was the greatest danger that Roumania faced today.
