RUMANIAN MIX-UP
ROYAL FAMILY QUARRELS LONDON, July 3. “ Any friendly act towards Queen Helen will be an unfriendly act to me,” King Carol told his assembled family at a Black Sea resort on the occasion of the birthday party of his mother, the ex-Queen Marie, last year. Ever since Queen Marie has been sacrificing personal comfort, freedom of action, and the friendship of. her son, fighting steadily for Justice for Helen.
King Carol retaliated by making conditions so difficult that Queen Marie was forced to spend three months abroad, When she returned, King Carol did not bother to meet her.
Others, including Queen Helen’s brothers and sisters, are unable to aid the Queen Mother’s fight. Ex-King George of Greece, Queen Helen’s brother, at present living in Rumania, is prevented from helping, because prior to the return of King Carol he rushed a Bill through Parliament compelling the State to buy his worthless estate, on which he was dependent for a living. He received £12,000, which Carol demands shall be returned if he champions Helen.
