The Rumanian government will introduce anti-Jewish legislation along the same lines as that in Nazi Germany, it was announced today over the Bucharest radio. Radu Leca, a cabinet attache, has been appointed to cooperate with German officials in working out details of new anti-Semitic laws.

It is expected that the laws will be incorporated in a new Rumanian constitution which will make Rumania a corporate state in the same pattern as Germany and Italy. A referendum will be held next Sunday to enable the Rumanian people to vote on whether or not they approve of the present regime. They will be able to vote only “Yes” or “No.” Jews will not be permitted to vote, Premier Antonescu announced.
