Organized anti-Jewish outbreaks took place in Rumania today as a result of the violent anti-Semitic propaganda conducted by ex-Premier Vaida-Voevod in an effort to force the government to emulate Germany in its anti-Jewish legislation.
Following an open break yesterday between Dr. Vaida-Voevod and Julius Maniu, leader of the National Peasant party, who is opposed to the anti-Semitic restrictions which Vaida-Voevod advocates, anti – Jewish disturbances were reported today from Transylvania and other parts of Rumania.
The supporters of Vaida-Voevod are firmly convinced that their anti-Jewish demands will sooner or later be carried into effect by the government. They suggest that restrictions against Jews be introduced not only in professions but also in commerce. A manifesto to this effect was issued yesterday by eleven former cabinet members, headed by Vaida-Voevod.
Jewish leaders here are watching the movement started by Vaida-Voevod with great anxiety. Serious events are predicted for the Jewish population despite the fact that the National Peasant party of which Vaida-Voevod is a leader, is opposed to his anti-Semitic preachings.
