The disturbances which have taken place this week in the summer resorts in Bukowina were according to the anti-Semitic organ “Cuvintul” organized attacks not by students against Jews, but by Jews against students.
“A telegram we have received from Dorna Vatra from the National Federation of Christian Students” the paper states, “declares that the students were provoked and attacked by the Jews. One student named Bugianu has been fatally injured. The student Sirbu, President of the Federation, has visited our editorial offices and has visited our editorial offices and has lodged a protest against the action of the Jews.
“This incident,” the paper proceeds, “coming as it does immediately after the Students’ Congress just concluded at Niamz, which decided to carry on the students’ fight on peaceful lines, is to be greatly regretted and it is the duty of the Government to punish the offenders.”
