The possibility of the Government dissolving Parliament and ordering fresh elections is being widely discussed now in political circles, and stress is laid in this connection on the fact that at the last sitting of the Chamber the Prime Minister, Professor Jorga, threatened no less than three times that he would resign, and for a whole hour he actually left Parliament under the impression that he had resigned.
If there is a new election, the Jews of Roumania expect to find the Government Party in open alliance with the Cuzists in a reunited Jorga-Cuza antisemitic Party.
The daily “Lupta” here reports that Professor Cuza, the antisemitic leader, has had conversations with Deputies belonging to various parties, in which he said: We two, I and my friends, and Jorga and his friends, will come out together against you (the other Parties) and we shall show you what we can do.
Have we really come to a political understanding between Cuza and Jorga ? the “Lupta” asks. Will the Prime Minister and Cuza stand together on the same election platform? Jorga was present at the conversations which Cuza had with the Deputies, it says, and Cuza’s assertion sounds very plausible, when we think that Jorga only smiled when he was asked whether it was true.
