Roumanian Jews Shed No Tears at Fall of Jorga Government Says Jewish Deputy

Neither from the general point of view by the country at large, nor from the Jewish point of view by the Jewish population is there any regret at the fall of the Jorga Government, Dr. Samuel Singer, one of the members of the Club of Jewish Deputies, said to the J.T.A. here to-day. All are pleased that it is gone, and there will be no tears shed for it anywhere. For the Jorga Government has failed to act up in any way to the expectations placed in it when it came into office. It has left the country much worse off economically and financially than when it took office. The Government is not responsible for all the difficulties that have since cropped up, but it certainly showed itself incapable of doing anything to avert the crisis.

From the Jewish point of view, our Jewish schools and our Jewish communities are in a more desperate plight now than at any previous time. Not a penny has been paid out in State subsidies to Jewish Communities or Jewish schools, even for the year 1931.

Under the Jorga Government the Jewish population has been subjected to persecution and terrorism in some parts of the country at the hands of the authorities, whose duty it should be to maintain law and order. During the period of office of the Jorga Government, we also had the desecration of the synagogue in Jassy.

Even though the Government is not to blame for this act of vandalism, it cannot escape the responsibility, however, for the fact that none of the vandals have been punished.

Towards the end of its life the Jorga Government actually entered into a pact with the Cuzist groups in Parliament, and this has outraged the Jewish population.

It is our earnest hope, Deputy Singer said, that the #ing will now entrust the Government to people who enjoy the confidence of the country, and who will treat the Jewish population as equal citizens, and will maintain order and justice.
