FASCIST COUP NOT FEARED
KING CAROL’S CONTROL OF RUMANIA LONDON, April 18. The Bucharest correspondent of the News Chronicle discounts the suggestion of a coup by the fascist Iron Guard, whose attitude has become threatening as a result of its support of Prince Nicholas, the banished brother of King Carol of Rumania. Fie declares that the city is as tranquil as London. The King has the support of a well paid, well disciplined army free of political influence. King Carol discussed the situation with the correspondent, declaring: “I am not really anxious.” The correspondent says: “King Carol undoubtedly holds the Rumanians’ destiny in his hands. All classes agree
that he has averted political chaos and steadied the national purse. Any alteration in the regime is unthinkable.”
Prince Nicholas has sent a letter to the Prime Minister (M. Georges Tatarescu) disclaiming connection with or support of the Iron Guard.
