An interpretation regarding the recent charge of ritual murder against a Jewish peddlar in Berezna, Carpatho-Russia, was made today in Parliament by the Jewish deputy, Ludwig Singer, who also placed before Parliament a number of Jewish demands. He criticized the ministers of Justice and Interior, for permitting the allegation of blood extraction from two Christian girls to become a case. “When President Masaryk’s officials stage such a trial against Jews, it means that they are placing the entire Czechoslovak republic in jeopardy”. Deputy Singer said.
Further protesting against the recent anti-Semitic demonstrations in Prague. Deputy Singer said that the anti-German nature of these outbreaks was only a cover for public opinion abroad, while actually the demonstrations were directed against the Jews. He then demanded that the government take measures to control the anti-Jewish attitude of the official government press in Carpatho-Russia and insisted that freedom of conscience be given the Jewish population to declare themselves as Jews in the forthcoming census.
