THE SYNDICATE OF RUMANIAN LANDOWNERS, COMPRISING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FARMERS, VOTED TODAY TO BOYCOTT ALL PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED AND SOLD BY JEWISH FIRMS.

THE NATIONAL CHRISTIAN PARTY’S PLANS FOR HANDLING THE JEWISH QUESTION IF IT COMES TO POWER INCLUDE IMMEDIATE REVISION OF ALL JEWISH NATURALIZATIONS AND A CONSTITUTION AMENDMENT PROVIDING FOR CONFISCATION OF JEWS’ PROPERTY FOR REASONS OF “NATIONAL UTILITY,” IT WAS DISCLOSED.

ICATANASIU, A LEADER OF THE PARTY, DECLARED IN AN ARTICLE IN PORUNCA VREMI, NATIONALIST DAILY: “WE MUST ADOPT RUTHLESS MEASURES. THE POLICE CANNOT BE ENTRUSTED WITH THE REVISIONS BECAUSE FOR BRIBES THEY WILL ISSUE FALSE CREDENTIALS TO THE JEWS. THERE ARE 2,000,000 JEWS IN RUMANIA. SINCE THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY FIVE PERSONS TO A FAMILY, 400,000 HEADS OF FAMILY WILL BE INTERNED IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS IN REMOTE VILLAGES, THEY WILL BE STRICTLY GUARDED, AND THEY WILL HAVE TO AWAIT SPECIAL COMMISSIONS WHICH WILL VERIFY THEIR PAPERS.”
