RUMANIA’S ORIENTATION TO GERMANY.

CAUSES UNEASINESS IN BALKANS.

(By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyrighl) Received Thursday, 9.50 p.m. LONDON, Sept. 3. The Sun-Herald news agency says: “Though the new Rumanian Premier, M. Tataresou, declares that his foreign policy will he unchanged, M. Titulescu’s fall has caused uneasiness in, the Balkans, where it is feared he is the victim of the Fascist Internationale.’ Russia considers King Carol’s action threatens European peace.” The Daily Telegraph’s Bucharest correspondent states that M. Titulescu is the victim of German intrigue. Three days prior to his dismissal the Rumanian Fascist leader, Octavian Goga, returned to Bucharest from Berlin and reported to King Carol the result of confidential talks with Hitler, and produced a copy of M. Titulescu’s dossier, compiled hy the German secret police, alleging that M. Titulescu was not only negligent of Rumanian interests but while abroad discredited King Carol’s political aims. King Carol immediately concocted a plan with M. Tatarescu for jettisoning M. Titulescu. The Soviet journal Isvestia states; “It is still too early to see whether the change means Rumania’s permanent orientation to Germany—equivalent to suicide by Rumania, but in M. Titulescu Rumania loses her most influential politician and the cause of peace loses one of its most active friends.”
