The Jews are entitled to their own representative in the League of Nations because despite their peculiar situation they form a distinct nation, says Dr. Constantin Stere, former leader of the Peasant Party in Bessarabia, writing in the current issue of the Curierul Israelite. Dr. Stere affirmed the need of Jewish political groups, especially in countries where they suffer persecution.
He appealed to the Jewish intellectuals to aid in the fight on anti-Semitism. Supporting Jewish minority rights he sees no difference between the Jews and other minorities except that the Jews do not form a compact territorial mass. He also advocated Jewish minority rights because of the special cultural interests of the Jews.
The Jews, he finds, are a valuable element for unity between minorities and majorities.
