WARNING TO TURKEY
Axis Policy In Balkans « ENTENTE MUST BE DISCARDED (united press Association—copyright.) (Received August 1, 11 p.m.) BERLIN, August 1. “Die Boersen Zeitung” says: ‘‘The continuance of the Balkan Entente is unjustified after the Salzburg and Rome talks. “Rumania’s voluntary association with the axis policy and her impending agreement with Bulgaria and Hungary mean that she has already repudiated the Entente’s policy and organisation. Jugoslavia and Greece have drawn their own conclusions from this, and doubtless will abandon something which has brought them little ■ in the past and can only harm them in the future.
"Turkey never faced the fact that her entry into tire camp of tire Western Powers signified her exit from Europe. The end of the Balkan Entente confronts Turkey with the problem of adapting herself to the policy which her Balkan partners have embraced or Will embrace, or of continuing her withdrawal from Europe and making it final and definite.'’
In a statement on Rumanian policy, the Prime Minister (M. Manoilescu) said: “The Government is convinced that perfect facial homogeneity is unattainable. Rumanians cannot feel themselves masters in their own home without a categorical and decisive Solution of the Jewish problem, to which we are determined to apply serious and well-considered measures. We obtained from Berlin and Rome the clearest possible picture of the system in which Rumania will organise its own economy With its own capital, workers, and ‘technicians. “The axis Powers have no other intention than to become our best customers and most valuable suppliers. Rumanians know how to bow before the demands for peace, but when cer tain limits are overstepped they know how to take another road. ; The Minister for the Interior has announced that “all Rumanian Jews employed by the Government will be dismissed.' Those employed m the capital are now being discharged. It is announced in Bucharest that an Oil dealers say the new tax is unjust to the producer because Gei many, the largest consumer of Rumanian oil, will not pay a penny more.
