RUMANIA’S NEW POLICY
PEACE BY PREPARATION FOR WAR » TRIBUTES TO KING CAROL Received Jan. 3, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 1. The Telegraph’s Bucharest correspondent says the Defence Minister, M. Ciupercu, in a New Year message to the armed forces, sets out the new Rumania’s policy. The national policy embodies the securing of peace by preparing for war; consolidating the national renaissance front; replacing all former political
parties; and refusing a frontier revision. Rumania will resist armed attacks and subterranean influences from abroad. The Iron Guard seems entirely prostrate and nobody has succeeded M. Codreanu. Mass petitions begging Royal clemency pour in from the gaols where the conspirators are confined. King Carol's courage and initiative have eliminated crippling political uncertainties and have secured tranquility, but he is still elaborately guarded. Humanity marks the anti-Jewish measures, and no racial Aryan standards are created. There is a desire to improve relations with Hungary. In order to remove trading and travel barriers Rumania must be friendly with Germany, but will preserve liberty of action with Hungary. Hungary also desires to preserve her nationalism and traditions, for which reason she and Rumania must manoeuvre adroitly or face the same potential peril.
