A protest of English Jews against the anti-Jewish excesses in Roumania was expressed at the annual conference of the Association of Jewish Friendly Societies held here Saturday night.
The conference unanimously adopted a resolution introduced by Col. Charles Waley-Cohen, which read as follows:
“This meeting, representing 50,000 members of the Jewish Friendly Societies, expresses its sympathy with the JEws in Roumania, in view of the barbarous attack on their persons, property and honor. This meeting protests emphatically against the failure of the Roumanian government to afford the Jewish population protection of the right to which all Roumanian citizens are entitiled under the constitution and the international treaties.”
The meeting also decided that the text of the resolution be sent to the Secretariat of the League of Nations, to the British Foreign Office and to all Jewish members of the House of Commons.
