Excerpt from The Case for Bessarabia: A Collection of Documents on the Rumanian Occupation; With a Preface
France and the United States, and it is from them that they are waiting for them to perform an act justice towards Bessarabia, their Fatherland, only lately annexed to the Kingdom of Rumania by force. I do not know whether their voice is strong enough to be heard in Paris, but anyhow, I print the Appeal of the Committee in Odessa, as the fifth document in the series.
The sixth one has a particular interest, as it shows that the refugees in Odessa do not at all remain isolated from their native country, which they have been obliged to leave. Those who remained in Bessarabia also raise their voice, somewhat naively, in order to tell the world how happy they are to find some com patriots who will have the hearing and will Speak out their mind before the Great Tribunal of the Right and the Truth. It is to your members of the Odessa Committee, they say, that we look for help, because we are bound hand and foot But they strongly believe that with such a committee as theirs in Odessa representing all political and national trends of thought in Bessarabia, from that of the private soldier to the former high official, and having received their powers lawfully from the whole population of Bessarabia, it will be impossible for Rumania to delude the great Allied Powers. I draw particular attention to their conclusion as to the consequences of the wrong policy of Rumania to represent Bessarabia as already Rumanian ised (pages 56 Working against the feelings, the wishes and the interests of the great bulk of the population, this policy was bound to proceed by sti ing all utterings of a free political life in the country. This is practically a best summary to everything which is said and stated in our documents. (see quotation at the end of the Preface.)
