Geneva, Jan. 23.
Details of the alleged persecution of the Jewish population in Rumania are given in a petition, running into 100 pages, sent to the League of Nations to-day by the World Jewish Congress.
The document denies that numbers of Jews have penetrated into Rumania by fraud, and asserts that practically all the Jewish population in that country are nationals of the old Rumanian kingdom or inhabitants who have resided in the provinces with a view to acquiring Rumanian nationality by virtue of the Minorities treaties.
It is doubtful if the Council of the League, meeting to-morrow, will discuss the thorny question and the matter may possibly be referred to a committee of three for investigation—Reuter.
