General Averescu. the Premier, speaking at an election meeting here at which Dr. Joseph Bierer and Dr. Meyer Ebner spoke on behalf of the Jews, declared:
“My hand will never be extended towards those groups which include in their programme the incitement of peoples one against the other and the fostering of hatred and enmity. Against groups and parties of this kind I know of only one method — war to the end. If there is anyone who loves a certain religious community, class or nation more than another, he can show his affection by stimulating that country’s share in the cultural or economic activity of the country, but under no circumstances can it be permitted that it should be made the basis of acts of violence.”
Dr. Ebner in his speech said that as a citizen and a Jew he welcomed General Averescu’s Government. “The Jews still retain happy memories of his previous Government. Under your Government.” he said. “there were no excesses against the Jews, no Cuzist agitations, no official anti-Semitism, and no secret support of the movement against the Jews. God grant that there may be a new epoch of peace and friendship opening for all the peoples of this country.”
