A turn in the governmental policy with regard to the national minorities in Roumania is expected to result from the recommendations which are to be considered at the next meeting of the cabinet.

The Roumanian press reports today that the governmental commission consisting of the Minister of the Interior, Minister of Finance and the Minister of Religioun and Education, formulated a series of recommendations concerning the minorities question.

It is still uncertain as to whether the Jewish population would benefit from these concessions, as the Manin government considers the Jews not as a national minority in the full sense, but rather as an ethnic, religious minority.
