The official Roumanian news agency, Orient Radio, was severely criticized by Reuter’s British news agency, for its attempt to conceal the truth concerning the anti-Jewish pogrom in Grosswardein, according to a report which appeared today in the “Dreptatea,” Roumanian Peasant Party organ.
Reuter’s notified the Roumanian news agency that henceforth it will take news reports concerning events in the new Roumanian provinces from the Hungarian Correspondenz Bureau instead of the Orient Radio. This action was caused by the failure of the Roumanian news agency to report the truth concerning the events in Grosswardein.
According to the reports issued by the Roumanian Agency, only two windows were smashe in the Grosswardein riots. Reuter’s added in its communication to the Orient Radio that if untruthful reports will continue to be issued by the service it will decline to accept any of the reports issued by it.
