The United States Government has expressed to the Rumanian Government its “indignation and shock” over the “unspeakable outrages” of the Iron Guard last month, Secretary of State Cordell Hull revealed in a letter, made public today, to Dr. Stephen S. Wise, president of the American Jewish Congress, in reply to the Congress’s appeal for intercession with the Bucharest authorities.
“I need hardly tell you,” Secretary Hull wrote, “this Government looks with horror on atrocities of this sort and that it regards them as another manifestation of the unprecedented conditions that unfortunately now prevail in certain European countries.
“This Government has brought to the attention of the Rumanian Government the indignation and shock with which the news of these atrocities was received by this Government.”
