V,- Rumanian Anti-Racial Decrees
Criticized by Jewish Leaders

BUCHAREST (WNS) — Dr.
William Filderman, president of
e Federation of Jewish Com-
nities, declared here this week
a statement to foreign press
•respondents that Rumanian
Jewish leaders are displeased
with many of the provisions of
the new Rumanian decree abol-
ishing anti-Jewish measures.
Asserting that the decree, as
promulgated by Minister of Jus-
tice Lucretiu Patrascanu, failed
to provide for the immediate and
t
automatic reinstatement of all
y.
ousted Jewish employees and for
government compensation for the
losses they sustained during the
four years they were out of work,
Dr. Filderman said : "The new
11
decree does not actually abolish
the racial laws. It does not really
restore rights to Jews. It only
provides favors from the state.
Under a previous draft of the
law the state was to pay indem-
nities to Jewish real estate own-
ers and tenants who wtcre- ejected
n-
from their homes. The present
th
decree provides for that such in-
v,
demnities be paid only after the
n . fr...„,
war, which means refusing pay-
er
ment. We are not asking the gov-
he
ernment for charity. We want
t z
ousted Jewish employees to get
employment and to make a living.
nd
We also desire that Jews receive
compensation for the property
ill
that was taken away from them."
In an article in the Rumanian
press analyzing the constitutional
and juridical defects of the meas-
ure, Dr. Filderman insisted on
the immediate reinstatement of
ousted Jewish employees and on
the immediate repossession by
a- I -. % Jews of their apartments, from
r which they had been ejected
under the anti-Jewish laws.
Demands Modification
Dr. Abraham L. Zissu, leader
of the Jewish National Party,
an joining Dr. Filderman in critic-
ism of the proposed decree, de-
manded that the Rumanian Gov-
s-
ernment amend the decree so as
to make it more acceptable to
11
Jews. "The Jews in Rumania,"
he said, "are willing to partake
tly of the hardships now being suf-
fered by the country, but they
to
also wish to secure equality in
fact and not only on paper." He
flit' -di observed that while the proposed
ml decree abolishing the anti-Jewish
laws of the former Rumanian
ve
regime may "satisfy lawyers," it
was not "satisfactory to the jews,
r ed
since the majority of them will
not secure their full rights as
he
ousted employees and as land-
lords and tenants who were eject-
ed from their homes."
Minister Defends Decree
Striking back at the Jewish
leaders wbo wero criti of the
government's a tti•ractal decree,
Minister of Justice Lucretia Pat-
rascanu uk claret' that the Ro-
..ati Chin Governiwalt is deter-
mined to combat rocialisin and
"to establish justice not based
on revenge." He said the de-
cree invalidates all raciid laws
and establishes equal rights for
'Jews, that "Jews should under-
stand that we are not only de-
fending their interests, but also
attempting to establish a basis
for mutual understanding be-
tween all Romanian citizens
without regard to ethnic origin."
Referring specifically to the
portion in Dr. Filderman's state-
ment which dealt with the ques-
tion of giving immediate posses-
sion to Jews of the apartments
%...,,from which they have been eject-
'. ed under the racial laws and
which are now in possession of
Romanians, the Minister of Jus-
tice said : "It must be borne in
• mind that we want ix, establish
