The action of the Jewish deputy, Waclaw Wiclicki, in rejecting the order conferred upon him by the Roumanian government as a protest against the anti-Jewish excesses in Roumania, was endorsed at the general meeting of the Club of Jewish Deputies held here yesterday.
The Club unanimously adopted a resolution introduced by Deputy Reizes expressing “sympathy with the suffering Roumanian Jews and the solemn protest to the entire civilized world against Roumanian barbarism.”
The Club also unanimously adopted a resolution introduced by Deputy H. Farbstein to despatch the following telegram to the Secretariat of the League of Nations in Geneva, to the Parliamentary Union in Brussels and to the League of Human Rights in Paris:
“We protest strongly against the persecutions directed against the Jewish minority in Roumania. The Roumanian government should know that a people whose professors and students are pogromists cannot find a place among the civilized peoples of the world.”
