the Parliamentary tribune. He was
applauded as talented orator, but
his speech was received with shrug.
Cuza's doctrine-thc outlawing Of all
the Jews and the confiseation of their
property-this Bolshcvism of the
Right-did not impose on anyone.
Everybody became convinced that
apart from demagogic outcries against
the Jewish Peril" Cuzism had moth
ing in ii, nothing of constructive
nature.
Anti-Semitism, however, has all the
chances of success if it is worked
into the shell of Fascism which pre-
tends to be n great system of govern
ment and possesses certain degree
of counter-revolutionary passion. 1t
is this the young Cuzists are after. To
them hatred of the Jews is but COM
monplace and they are desirous of
introducing into Roumania the imper-
alism of Mussolini. This has been
plainly expressed in the manifesto
published in the Nationalist organ,
"Cuvintul))
Fascist Manifests
The manifesto begins by criticising
the present government and all the
political parties and concludes with
he statement that the only possible
solution is national dictatorship.
The democratic regime" it declares,
is an artificial thing forced upon the
nations against its will. 1t has brought
about the decay Of the social organ
ism, substituted politics for business
and delivered up the country to all
sorts of demagogues. Such state of
iffairs must not be allowed to last.
The nation must be recognized as the
)nly basis of government and in all
its geographic and historic unity. The
Roumanian fascists do not banker
ifter the past but look to the strength
ming of the ties which connect the
,ast with The present. 1t is in order to
'ealize these political aims that the
Roumanian Institute for National
Action" has been created.
Fascist Demonstration
The manifesto does not claim to be
original and is really repeating by
rote the platitudes of the Action
Francaise." Still, even this feeble at
.empt at reasoning is step forward
IN the process of differentiation within
The camp of the Cuzists.
The publication of this manifesto
vas followed by the first political
demonstration of the young Fascist
movement. The movement was in
lugurated at the celebration at Patne
n Bukovina. where a memorial was
unveiled to the Roumanian national
Doet, Eminescu. The celebration was
attended not only by Codreanu's group
of young Fascist but also by few
personages of official standing, in
Guiding Princess Helena and the Min
ister of War, Hirtschescu. More char
acteristic of the movement than the
speeches, however, was the inscription
on the memorial.
Hate the Alien"
''He who loves the alien" it read,
may his heart be devoured by dogs,
may misery befall his house and chill
dren."
1t must be admitted that the pres
ent day political situation in Rouma-
mia is extremely favorable for the
creation of fascist regime in the
Roumanian parliamentarism
has been badly compromised by its
servility and Importance Roumanian
commerce and industry are on their
last legs. Everyone is yearning for a
strong man to come and bring saliva
ton. Dictatorship is in the air and
the name of the Premier, General Ave
rescu - the favorite of the Army -
is very much to the fore in such
The Roumanian Fascists
have been spurred on by Mussolini,
who seeks to destroy the little En-
tente" and promises that instead of it
he will get Russia to recognize the
Roumanian annexation of Bessarabia.
Averescu is at present in Italy and
the Roumanian press is full of praise
for Mussolini and Italy.
Donning Black Shirts
The young Cuzists have accurately
sized up the feeling of the moment and
they are in hurry to put on black
shirts. This has been made clear
enough in a speech delivered for the
Parliamentary tribune by Deputy
who demanded the estab-
Iishment of dictatorship. "All Latin
States" he declared, chad dictators
at one time or another. A striking
example is Mussolini in Italy. From
