A favorable impression has been created in Jewish circles here by King Carol’s assurance to the delegation of Jewish deputies who visited him Saturday that he denounces anti-Semitism, and that he will protect the Jewish population. The delegation that was received by the King consisted of Senator Meyer Ebner, Deputy Theodore Fischer, Rabbi Senator Neimerower and three representatives of the Sephardic Jewish community.
Commenting on the Baltzi incidents, the King told the delegation to give him time and he would restore order. A government commission has been created to study the status of the national minorities and it will submit a report to the Fall session of Parliament. The chairman of the Jewish sub-commission of this investigating body is Professor Andrei, a friend of the Jews.
