CRISIS IN RUMANIA.

GOVERNMENT RESIGNS.

DOY KING LEAVES CAPITAL. TAKEN TO YUGOSLAVIA. Australian and N.Z. Pro? 9 Association. (Received July 10. 10.'25 p.m.) I'AHIS. July 10. ft is reported from Bucharest that Dr. Julius Maniu's Cabinet has resigned. A significant fact is that the boy King Michael of Rumania has been scut to Blet in Yugoslavia, lie arrived there by the Client express accompanied by his mother.

Tlie l'aris coi respondent of the Daily Telegraph, writing recently, said: Ihe usually well-informed " Pax " states that, despite all denials, the meeting between the Queen Mother of Roumania and her son Prince Carol, at tlie villa of the. Grand Duke Cyril, at Dinard. at the end of March, has a serious political significance. According to this authority Queen Marie come to France with the expressed intention of inducing Prince Carol to £0 back to Rumania, and of arranging the conditions on which he should ascend the throne.

Since the death of King Ferdinand, " Pax " declares, things have been going from bad to worse in the country. The Regency has. proved utterly incapable of giving Rumania the stable government- it needs, and Dr. Maniu's Peasant Party, which is revolutionary in aspiration, has the added disadvantage from a national point of view that it has no clear ideas of the form of revolution it would like to adopt.

The only alternative to the proclamation in the near future of a republic, probably fragile and vacillating, is that a grown man and not a child should ascend the tlnone, and the only possible King in sight is Prince Carol. " Pax " does not profess to know what was the outcome of the interview between the Prince and his mother. On the personal side, however, there appears no room to doubt that a complete reconciliation was brought about.
