Paris. March 2.-Take Joneson. Ru-
manian minister of the Interior, in
formed a meeting of conservative dem
pcratS who were discOntented with the
earty's policy, according to special dis,
patches from Bucharest, that he had
not attacked the government because
!. j.. G.. Bratiano, former premier and
minister of the interior, had concluded
a formal agreement for common action
With the triple entente powers (Great
Britain, France and Russia). Proof Of
this would be found, Jonescu said, in
the Rumanian o made in London,
which it would ave been impossible
to arrange if the Bucharest cabinet had
not made a categorical statement OF its
position.
A Bucharest has ar
bounced that 10 classes of reserves have
been called out for March IS and that
senior students in the military colleges
have been drafted into the regular
army with the rank of non-conlmis-
stoned Officers.
The confident belief has been ex-
pressed in England, France and Russia
that Rumania eventually would enter
the wal on the side of the allies.
A dispatch from Paris on February
"a said the Mathis Bucharest CORE
spondent had obtained information that
Nicholas Misu, Rumanian minister to
London, soon would return to England
with a note assuring the British gov
eminent that the Rumanian army
would take the field in April.
Get Loan in London.
An agreement was signed in London
on January 81, providing for a loan Of
$25, 600, 900 from the Bank of England to
the Bank of Rumania, against Ruma-
Man treasury bills. The loan was a
result Of the visit to London of the
Rumanian finance commission
Take Jonescu was reported in Decen-
Der to have declared that ANY nation
keeping out of the present struggle
commits moral, political and economic
suicide" He was credited with having,
declared that Rumaria must not com
nit such a crime"
Rumania has four political parties:
the liberal, now in power and headed
by Prime Minister Bratianu; the con-
~servative, lately in power, and led by
Petre Carp, former prime minister; the
conservative democratic, headed by AL
exander Marghiloman; and the national
party, which is at present a negligible
factor, out whose rather broad policies
are in the main still advocated by Con
stantine Mile, publisher and political
director of Rumania's most prominent
Independent newspapers, Diminetaza
and Adeverul.
OF these parties only one, the conser
vative democratic, is avowedly pro-
Russian and anti-German. It's leader,
| Take Jonescu, is accused by his politi-
| cal opponents as being more Russian
| thar the czar, and more English than
Mr.. Churchill"
It cannot be said, however, tha the
| liberal party is to any degree pro-Ger-
man. During the life Of King Charles
I, a HohenZollern prince. such is said
to have been the case. But since the
death CT that monarch no definite Off
cial expression on the attitude of Ru-
| -, ,,ia fnu-o r1S tha he11i oaranf nations
| has come from this party. 1t is claimed,
| moreover, hat the party is zone too
strong, and that it has already been
obliged to look to the conservatives for
support. IT is known, and Mr.. Marghi-
loman so stated to the Associated Press
| correspondent, that Mr.. B%ratianu and
he worked in accord on the war ques-
| ton.
