Paris. March 2.-Take Joneson. Ru-
manian minister of the interior, in
formed a meeting of conservative dem
ocrats who were discontinued with the
party's policy, according to special dis
patches from Bucharest, that he had
not attacked the government because
J. J. c.. Bratiano, former premier and
minister If the interior, had concluded
a formal agreement for common action
with the triple entente powers (Great
Britain. France n Russia). Proof or
this would be found, JOnescu said, in
the Rumanian loan made in London,
which it would have been impossible
to arrange If the Bucharest cabinet had
not made a categorical statement OF It's
position.
A Bucharest newspaper has an
nounCed 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-commis-
stoned officers.
The confident belief has been ex-
pressed in England, France AND Russia
that Rumania eventually would enter
the war on the side of the allies.
A dispatch from Paris on February
"a said the Mathis Bucharest corre-
spondent had obtained information that
Nicholas Mlsu, Rumanian minister TO
London, soon wOuld return to England
with a note assuring the British gov
eminent hat the Rumanian army
would take the field in April.
Get Loan in London.
an agreement was signed in London
on January %, providing for a loan of
1925, 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 Decem-
Der to nave declared that ANY nation
keeping out Of the present struggle
commits moral, political n economic
suicide" He was credited with having
declared that Rumanla must not com
init u q crime"
Rumania has -four political parties:
the liberal, now in power and headed
by Prime Minister Bratianu; the con-
sentative. lately in power, and led by
Petre Carp. former prime minister; the
conservative democratic, headed by Al
eXander Marghiloman; n the national
party, which Is at present a negligible
factor, but 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. Its leader,
Take Jonescu, is accused by his pOliti-
cal opponents as being more Russian
than the czar, and more English than
Mr.. Churchill"
1t cannot be said, however. that the
liberal party is to any degree pro-Ger-
man. During the life of King Charles
|. a Hohenzollern prince, such is said
to have been the case. But since the

cial expression on the attitude of Ru-
mania towards the b~elligerent nations
has come from this party. 1t Is claimed,
moreover. that the party is none too
strong, and that 1t has already been
obliged to o to the conservatives for
support. 1t Is known. and Mr. Marghi-
loman so stated to the Associated Press
correspondent, that Mr.. B%ratianu and
