Representations to the Roumanian government to take stricter measures for the prevention of occasional anti-Semitic excesses, with particular reference to the recent events in Briceni, were made by Deputy Meyer Ebner of Czernowitz, who called on the Minister of the Interior, Vajda-Vojvod.

The Minister promised to take immediate measures to call to account all those guilty in the disturbances and to cause the removal from office of the officials who were negligent in their duties. Generally, the government is endeavoring, with a great deal of success, to preserve order, the Minister stated.

Simultaneously the “Adeverul,” Roumanian Jewish paper, states today that the Minister of the Interior is already in receipt of a detailed account of the Briceni events. This account confirms the previous reports of the barbaric character of the outrages, the paper states, and asks why the government has taken no measures as yet by exemplary punishments.
