RUMANIA
KING CAROL'S LONDON VISIT iJtou' Our Own roi'reapori.leuLl LONDON, 3rd November. The London visit of King Carol, though an occasion of outward jois de vivre, has its sombre background. Europe may have another tough little ; diplomatic nut to crack in Rumania ; soon. Six months ago an ambitious ini dividual named Cornelius Codreanu I was condemned, after trial at Bucharest, to ten years’ imprisonment as a political offender. This gentleman, of strong pro-German sympathies and founder of the Fascist Party known in Rumania as the Iron Guard, is a violent anti-Semite and an advocate of political force majeure. His sentence, which he is now serving, followed the assassination by Iron Guards of M. Duca, the former Prime Minister of Rumania, since whose demise King Carol, having abolished Parliament, lias ruled as an autocrat. With the fate of Czechoslovakia fresh in the mind. King Carol may well, whilst here, discuss eventualities in his own country, if Hitler espouses ' the cause of Rumania’s incarcerated I Henlein. That is a question of intense ! interest, too, to about 800.000 Rumanian ; Jews.
