Roumanian Government Urged by Nationalist Leader to Introduce Numerus Clausus

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency Mail Service)

“The anti-Semitism which is now prevalent in Transylvania is quite understandable as a national reaction if it is remembered that at the time that Hungary ruled in Transylvania the Jews in this province stood out against the Roumanian inhabitants,” M. Vaida-Voevad, the leader of the Transylvanian Nationalist Party, declared in an interview printed in the Budapest “Pesti Naplo.” M. Vaida-Voevad was a signatory on behalf of Roumania to the Minority Treaty. “It seemed that after the success of Count Klebelsberg at Geneva the Roumanian Government would also introduce a numerus clausus law which would put a stop to the present unjust and abnormal state of affairs But the Roumanian numerus clausus would be enforced in a just and proportional manner and not like the present numerus clausus which is hidden and unjust,” he said.
