THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
HAS ROUMANIA AWAK-
ENED?
BY Aaron Jacobs.

which it is mentioned that the Rou-
manian peasant will be given his right
to vote, impels one to ask the ques-
ton, "Has Roumania Awakened?"
Since 1866, after the Roumanian
Boyars had forced the best ruler Rot
mania ever had, John Alexander
Cuza, to abdicate his throne, Rou
mania seems to have been in SOM
nambulistic state of mind, doing
things rather by instinct that by ra
tional thinking, and thus has allowed
itself to be dragged toward the pit
into which it has now fallen.
Awakened by the Teutonic shells,
Roumania, through the utterance of
Yorga, her greatest historian, and at
the same time, the worst anti-semite
of the land, proclaims justice to the
peasant. Yorga like the anti-semites
of other belligerent countries has
somewhat relented in his hostilities
toward the Jew. He, now, stands for
unity, without reference to creed, and
for the furtherance of the Roumanian
cause. But in this great proclama-
ton, the word Jew is not mentioned
and the question again arises, "Has
Roumania really awakened?
In 1873 Roumania obtained her in
dependence, only after she had signed
the treaty in which it was stipulated
that the Jews of Roumania should
be enfranchised en- masse, and their
emancipation was one of the condi-
tons placed before the Roumanian
representatives at the Berlin Con-
gress.
How has Roumania nullifed this
stipulation? By inserting article VII
in the constitution, that provides that
anyone seeking to be naturalized
should apply to both houses of parlia
ment and be voted on by each mem
berof the same. Since officials in Rou-
mania may be as corrupt as in other
countries, how rich would a person
have to be in order to be able to bride
majority of deputies, senators, cab
met ministers and every higher Of
fetal before he could become a citi-
zen? Should crisis arise in the cab
met, new parliament had to be elect
ed, more money was required, others
must be bribed, etc. AS a result of
this condition only a few hundred
Jews have succeeded to be naturaliz-
ed. Their papers had in many in
stances been lying in parliament more
than decade until something occur
red in the country; necessity of
foreign loan, the war in 1877-1878,
the war in 1913, compelled the gov
eminent to act on these applications

of no value, for they may be revoked
at any time, at the desire of parlia
ment or even at the fancy of some
cabinet minister. Such Roumanian
Jews as Lazar Shaineanu, author of
the Roumanian dictionary, and other
learned men, could not become citi-
zens, because they insisted on getting
their naturalization upon their own
merits and not by bribery.
Not only did Roumania refuse to
emancipate the Jews, but since 1880
de6ed the powers signatory to her
treaty, by general persecution of the
Jews. The first to suffer were some
prominent Jews who protested loud
ly against the failure of Roumania to
keep her treaty pledge. Roumania
Immediately punished them with ex-
pulsion, and thus men like DR.. Moses
Caster, DR.. E. Schwartzfeld, Botosh-
oneanu and others were made to mi
CRATE to other lands Fortunately for
some of those men, they have not
only found haven of refuge in other
countries, but have achieved a
worldwide reputation, especially
DR.. Caster in London and DR.. E.
Schwartzfeld in Paris.
Roumania always wished to be free
from Jews. Had not civilization re-
appeared in the 10Th century, it would
have been an easy matter for the
country to drown every Jewish soul
in the Danube. Roumanians are al
ways likened to the Amalekites, be-
cause only Hannah was capable of
similar inhumanity. The drowning
of few hundred Jews really occur
red during a pogrom instigated by
the government in Galatz. But muir
dering Jews was too barbarous, SO
laws had to be made to torture them.
To deprive many of them of the
means of livelihood, the Jews were
forbidden to sell liquor in the vii
