The resolution of the Board of Jewish Deputies asking the British government to intervene with the League of Nations on behalf of the persecuted Jews in Roumania is landed by the British press.
The Manchester “Guardian”, commenting editorially today on this resolution, declares that a careful examination of the mass of evidence on the Jewish situation in Roumania shows clearly the existence of an active anti-Semitic movement which is partly political and partly economic. The state is doing nothing to restrain this movement. The fact of the matter is that Jewish life and property in Roumania is not as safe as Roumanian life and property.
The European powers who were the signatories to the national minorities treaties are entitled to ask the Roumanian government what steps it proposes to take to insure to all citizens protection and equality which are the hall marks of a democratic state, the paper writes.
