NEW RUMANIA

THE NATIONAL POLICY FRONTIER REVIBION REFUBED EFFECT OF KING’S COURAGE (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Jan. 3, 3.15 p.rn.) LONDON, Jan. 2 The Bucharest correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says the Minister of Defence, General Ciupercu, in a New Year message to the armed forces, sets but the new Rumania’s policy. The national policy embodies the securing of peace by preparing for war, the consolidating of a national renaissance front replacing all former political parties, and refusing frontier revision. Rumania will resist armed attacks and subterranean influences from abroad. The Iron Guard seems entirely prostrate. Nobody has succeeded the late M. Codreanu/ Mass petitions begging for Royal clemency pour in from the gaols, where conspirators are confined. King Carol’s courage and initiative have eliminated the crippling political uncertainties and secured tranquility, but he is still elaborately guarded. Humanity marks the anti-Jewish measures, and no racial Ayran standards have been 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. Hungary, although more closely connected with the axis, also desires to preserve htr nationalism and traditions, for which reason she and Rumania must manoeuvre adroitly. They face the same potential peril.
