The acquittal of Lieutenant Morarescu by the Roumanian Court was commented upon yesterday by the influential English daily, the “Manchester Guardian.”
Reviewing the general situation of Bessarabia, the Russian province occupied by Roumanians, especially the case of Lieutenant Morarescu, who is now acclaimed by the Roumanian semi-official journals as a martyr and national hero, the “Manchester Guardian” demands that the League of Nations reconsider the position of Bessarabia.
“In view of the bad treatment of the occupied territory, the Bessarabian people are entitled to the protection of the Treaty which guarantees the right of the minorities,” the paper says.
