EXTRAORDINARY SCHEME

TO DISTRIBUTE CAROL’S MANIFESTO

(Australian Press Association.) (Rec. May 14, 7.45 p.m.) London, May 14.

The “Daily Express” reveals an extraordinary scheme to distribute Prince Carol’s manifesto in Rumania, through the confession of Maurice Lewis, who, with Dudley Heathcote, a Hungarian publicist, Captain Lemesurier, and a fourth confederate, arranged the plan. Lewis says that on May 4, Heathcote suggested an air trip to Rumania in order to drop the manifesto during the Peasants’ Party meeting at Albajulia, M. Jonescu supplying the funds. It was most difficult to print the manifesto in London in the Rumanian language. Then Imperial Airways cancelled the order for two of their aeroplanes. Moreover, Heathcote, Lemesurier, and Lewis knew that they were being watched, but they filled two trunks with leaflets, and gave them to a fourth man with instructions to take them to Brussels, "from which others proposed to fly to Vienna, and then to Budapest. The fourth man, witli the manifestos, failed to reach Brussels. The other three, however, flew to Budapest, where the manifesto was reprinted from the copy, and the leaflets were taken to an unnamed Balkan State, which harbours, many enthusiastic supporters of Prince Carol, in order that they might be smuggled into Rumania.

A famous war ace, who was the hero of fifty battles, here suggested that an aeroplane should make a swift dash into Rumania with- the manifestos, but the scheme was abandoned when it was evident that a Balkan war would likely be a consequence. Finally Heathcote arranged that motor-cars and pack mules should be loaded with the manifestos, but tne latest news from Vienna is that Heathcote abandoned the whole scheme owing to fear of international complications.

RETURN TO FRANCE NOT DESIRED (Australian Press Association.) (RCe. May 14, 11.30 p.m.) London, May 14. The relations between Prince Carol and it e Soviet make his return undesirable, according to the French Press. The "Echo de Paris”, makes a suggestion of a liaison with Bolshevilcs, and says the relations were established between friends of Carol and the high personnel of the Soviet Embassy, and these relations have not ceased to exist.
