says:
However unwelcome may be the phe
nomenen TO certain sections OF conu-
mental opinion there Is but little
doubt that the significant co-operatD?
of the two Angio-saxon powers will
go far to put an end to condition OF
things which is a scandal to modern
civilization and reproach to every
country responsible for the Berlin
treaty"
The Telegraph. noting that Count
Won Buiow has gained considerable
diplomatic experience at Bucharest,
takes leave to doubt whether the Ger
man chancellor will adopt erudely the
anti American attitude which is being
pressed upon him from Incorporate
and injudicious quarters,
The paper says that after the Incl
dent OF the sinking Of the Haytien
revolutionary gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot
by the German cruiser Panther, It is
absurd 10 say that the United States
has no right to interfere In this mat
ter.
In any case" says the Telegraph,
Lord Lansdowne's action has settled
any difference which might have ad-
vanced on account Of the United States
not being a signatory of the Berlin
treaty" .
Referring to the subject editorially,
the Times this morning says the Brit
ish note is confined at the present
stages as to inquiry as TO what view
the other signatory powers take of
Secretar Hoy's note The correspon-
dence published" says the Times,
shows that the subject has produced
deep impression on public opinion in
Great Britain. II the Roumanian gov
ernment is able to contradict the
statements made II should do so with
out delay, Apparently, however, il has
reckoned up the cost and is willing
to incur any possible risk If 1t can only
rid itself of the Jews. There Is shrewd-
ness In the calculations of the Rouma-
nian government that no coercive in
tention by all the powers is to be ex-
pected and that isolated interference
by one or two governments is not
likely to be pushed beyond the point |
Of remonstrance.
THE differences of enforcing the OBJ
legations of the Berlin treaty are OBJ
viously very great and If any efficient
check is placed upon the anti-semitic
legislation of Roumania, it will most
likely be done in an indirect way. Rou-
mania is not in such prosperous finan-
rlal condition as to be able with i'm
plmity to affront a race which reckons
lmong its members the leading finan-
,ial magnates of Europe"
In another dispatch from Vienna the
of the Times says that
Secretary Hays Roumanian note has
lot only given the newspapers top
c, but that 1t has given diplomacy
/ task. More than one of the powers
las demonstrated with Roumania, says
he correspondent, but their warnings
lave been ignored, The ruthless per-
Iecutiou of the Jews continues and
here is no prospect of its abatement,
rla-Hungary long ago warned
Soumanla, and what Austria failed to
.chieve the United States is not likely
0 accomplish, even with the moral
upport of the other powers. {
Indeed" continues the correspond
mt, Il hear from Bucharest that cap
ous Interpretation of article Al of the
berlin treaty is ready as a reply to
ny further diplomatic representa-
ons. Coercion, of course, Is out of
he question.
