RUMANIAN DISORDERS
WAS UNION JACK INSULTED?
(British Official Wireless.) KUG-BY, 15th December.
.In the House of Commons, a question «ras asked whether, during the antiSemitic riots at Oradea Mare, in Transylvania, an American citizen, Captain Keller, attempted to protect from insult at the iands of rioters a Union Jack which had been hoisted by a Jew in a rain attempt to protect his premises, and whether Captain Keller was beaten and stabbed. t
Commander Loeker-Lainpson (Assistant Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs) replied: "I havo received telegraphic reports of the r,iots from His Majesty's Ministers at 'Budapest and Bucharest. The official Rumanian account states that somo students removed a Union Jack from premises on which it was flying, and paraded it, together with a Bumanian flag, in a procession acclaiming Great Britain as a friendly country. An American citizen named Keller was wounded, apparently while endeavouring to prevent the riotera from entering the premises of the Young Men's Christian Association, and I understand^thelXTnitea States Minister at Bucharest' is making representations
to tho Rumanian Government on the matter. The incident is, however, being thoroughly investigated both by the British^ Minister at Bucharest and the Rumanian Government, and I propose to await further reports."
