Other attempts were made, to interest officials fif Our'Goverhment and leaders,of public opiAibn. At that time action was taken tendibg to impress upon the Roumanian
: CipVenmicnl botli the wrongs which were .bciiifi  committed  against'the  Jews  and
" the ifuirm which is liUely to cnme toUoii-
:mai^iii herself from the pursuit nf such a policy of oppression and faihirc lo check the anti-Seniilic agnation. The cbarge.s which were ttien made" and
. the: facts which we're presente<l to repre¬ sentatives ot fiiir Giiverninent have since
¦ been confirmed by'a noii-'Jewish and im¬ partial deputation of the highcsi stand¬ ing whicij made ali investigation in be¬ half of the American Commitlee (in the

¦ contrary to all anticipations, we are agahi fac^d with the niost distressing and ini-. for^imate coilditions and confrnntcd with ,the' necessity oif once more appealing to the .ehligbteiied consiclence of the world against these outrages' Mr, Sherman re¬ ferred to cable from the Geneva Bureau of the Council for the Rights of Jewish Minorities, which cdnfinned thc reports, of the riots in Riiumaiiia;
Mr, Leo Wolfspn, president of the United Ronmanian Jews of America, re¬ viewed the, recent political (:lcvcloimieiits in Roumania and instanced various occur¬ rences, showing how the Jewish popula¬ tion of Rouniania was Iteing exposed to the fury of mobs .wiiliiSut being given the protection which the Government- could easily furnish. Mr. Wolfson fur¬ ther said the student attacks since 1JJ22
¦ could not have happened if the Roumanian Government had not instigated them or allowed theni to be perpetrated.
Mr. Bernard G. Richards, Hxecntive Secretary of the Anierican Jewish Con¬ gress, refcri'ed to .various steps taken by the Congress to first asciertain all the facts with regard to conditions in Rou¬ mania and theii call them to the attention of the leaders of public opinion to the end that the deinand for justice may ulti¬ mately be heard and heeded by those who have the power to remedy cpnditions. He referred to the splendid service rendered to the cause of the rights of minorities through the survey of the Commission headed by I)r. Henry A. Atkinson. Or. Stephen S. WiBe*B Protest
Dr, Stephen S. W^se, President of the American Jewish Congress; said:
"These outrages arc the inevitable rer suit of 60 years of deliberate violation of promises made by the Roumanian Govern-
of lhe land. The minority rights guaran¬ tees are written into.the preanibk- ti> thf Cun.'^titiititin nf Rninnaiiia. These out¬ rages are Imi the late.'it of the facts whicli are lhe result of the policy of repression of tbf Jews which bcgaii in- 1878.: P"i' 50 yoars. a systematic, deliberate and con^ Hmibiis eatiiiiaigii against the Jews has iieen going mi. . It will not Jn- enough to punish ahaiidfiil nt students.: Putting ill jail some students or student ring- leadei'.s may .prevent outbreaks-tomorrow or lhe>day after or a week after, but out¬ rages will 'occur again, unless a radical change in the attitude of the Government toward the minority, peoples is brnught abaut." ...  ¦ ¦¦-.     ¦'¦,, ,¦'.'"'
