INTERVIEWS WITH PROMINENT
ROUMANIAN DIPLOMATS
Alexander Marghiloman and Take
JOnescu, Both Former Premiers
Promise Many Good Things
For the Jews-If They
Should Again Come Into
Power
BY Leo Wolfson.

maze TO me by two OF the most prom
inent statesmen and leaders of the
opposition parties to the government.
The first statement is from Mr..
Alexander Marghiloman, leader of the
Progressive Conservative Party. Mr..
Marghiloman was the Roumanian
Premier at the time when Germany
compelled Roumania to sign the peace
Of Bucharest in 1916. In the treaty,
there was q stipulation that the Jews
should receive equal political rights.
Under the leadership of Mr.. Marghilo-
man, the Parliament adopted natur-
alization law which was so bad that
the Jews declined to take advantage Of
its so-called benefits, and refused to
become naturalized under the same.
Mr.. Marghiloman invited me to
meet him at his home, where he re-
ceived me with exceptional cordially,
and spent several hours with me. He
told me the circumstances under which
the Bucharest treaty was made, and
also discussed his naturalization law.
On the Jewish question, he had this
To say:
"The Jewish question is an inheri.
lance from the past-and it is a griev-
GUS wrong. It is very serious prob
lem, and its solution is still more
difficult because of the fact that the
leaders of the Liberal Party-the
government-do not treat the ques-
ton honestly, and make use of insin-
cere expedients.
81 am convinced that If the govern
ment changed hands, the question
would be settled, and we should at
the same time win the appreciation Of
the outside world-which has a Door
opinion Of us now.
81 believe that the question could
be quickly and easily solved. To that
end, radical measures ought to be
adopted, and they ought to be carried
through earnestly, honestly, and in
the shortest time possible. Only thus
can we win the sympathy Of the great
powers who are now against US.
am not Of the opinion that the Jews
should constitute or establish sepa-
rate national group. But in order
that they may become loyal patriots
in the same sense that they are
patriots in the Western European
countries and in America-it is I'M
questionably necessary that they
should be placed on the same level as
the Roumanians themselves-and they
must receive absolutely equal rights
without the slightest exception.
Moreover, these rights must be given
to them without any reservations and
without allowing any loopholes for
withdrawing the same from them"
How do you think the question
can be settled? What form do you
think the solution ought to take?"
asked him.
81 know" he continued, "that many
will not agree with me, also that
many will criticise me for my stand.
l think, however, that the best means
Of solving the Jewish problem Is thru
an international treaty-that is, that
in the treaty which Roumania will
subscribe to in Paris, there ought To
be a clause requiring the settlement
Of the Jewish question-and which
shall also prescribe how this is to bs
done. This means is the best be.
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1919-10-17

precedence over the constitution. The
Jews would then have to receive their
rights according to the stipulations
contained in the treaty-and the coun-
try would have to carry them out
without any quibbling."
1.-THE Bucharest treaty also demand
ed the emancipation of the Jews, and
you were Premier at the time; why
then, did you not carry out these
terms? And further, why did you
adopt law which was so hopelessly
bad?" I asked him.
II must admit that the law was not
very satisfactory-the demands Of
the treaty, however, were also perni-
cious," he replied. Besides you must
realize that the treaty was an en-
forced one, and nothing which it en-
tailed could be carried out with good
grace.
"At that time, under these circum-
stances, that law was the best thing
which the country could do. Now the
circumstances are quite different.
Now everyone will admit that the
Jewish question must be solved, and
the country is prepared to do So"
What would you do now, If you
were again called upon to take over
the government of the country" I
asked him further To my question,
he replied:
81 would take the stand that the
Jewish question must once for all be
settled honestly and basically and
without leaving any loopholes, and I
should settle it after that principle
in the shortest possible time"
The second statement was given
to me by Mr.. Take Jonescu-one Of
the most illustrious of the Rouman-
ians. Mr.. Jonescu has many times
filled ministerial offices, and now he
is the leader of the Conservative Par
ty. He is very widely known in dip
lomatic circles, because it was he who
carried on the pre-Entente policy in
Roumania during the time Of the
war, when Roumania was still neutral.
Among other things which we dis
cussed, he had the following to say
about the Jewish question:
81 have always been in favor of a
thorough-going solution of the Jewish
question. AS often as I had a part
in the government, / made every pos
sible effort to do something about the
Jewish question, but the conditions
were never favorable. The whole
country knows my attitude toward
the Jewish question. In my opinion
the law decree Of the present ad-
ministration offers a complete solu-
tion Of the problem"
! reminded him that the Jews were
not Of the same opinion-and pointed
out many flaws in the law.
Possibly there are certain clauses
in the law which ought to be modi-
fied-in that case, that should be
done Immediately to obviate any dis
satisfaction in the matter" he replied.
Proceeding he said: "After the law
with the necessary notifications has
been carried out, it is essential that
efforts be instituted toward a rap
prechement, getting together"
spirit, between the Jews and the Rou-
manians. This spirit will be possible,
when in addition to the equal rights
which the Jews will enjoy, the Rou-
manian people will learn to appre-

Airplane Patrol
for Forest Fires

Washington, D. C.-Airplane fire pa
troll of the national forests by army
machines was begun as an experiment
for the forest service recently. The
first report from forester has just
come to headquarters here after an
exciting observation flight from Mather
Field made over the southern patrol
route in California, covering portions
Of the Eldorado and Stanislaus forest
preserves.
The trip was taken by Assistant Dis
trict Forester How for the collection of
data as to the feasibility of this novel
method of fire detection; what should
be done to fight the flames, If pos
sible from the plane; how alarms may
promptly be given; what style of plane
or balloon Is best adapted, and what
additional apparatus may be necessary
tc make successful this attempt at
more effectually safeguarding remote
end inaccessible stretches of practi-
cally unexplored country from the
scourge which annually destroys thou
sands upon thousands of acres Of tim
ber rapidly becoming well nigh price
less.
Tells Stirring Tale.
Forester How not only covers all
these interesting points, but tells
stirring tale Of adventure in doing so.
After describing his preparations for
the trip. he continues:
MY pilot was Sergeant Mckee, who
is one of the army flying instructors.
The plane we used was a Curtiss JM-1
with al OX-5 motor. There are no con-
trolls I'm front, so all had to. do was
to sit strapped to my seat. We start
ed about nine o'clock. I had heard so
much of persons becoming nauseated
that was expecting to feel funny, but
l never had that kind of symptom.
My impression was that we were stand
ing still, when in fact we were going
10 miles an hour. We flew up the
American valley to Placerville; thence
t. Chinese. ten miles southeast of So
nora.
"On the trip we saw five fires, all of
which were outside of the forest boun-
daries. The largest was near Placer
vile and had been burning week.
1.-The country is so rugged that
landing could not have been made to
fight fire without crash. The pilot
agreed to this and steered to the west
of the peak instead of TO the east. and
by doing this. we missed seeing some

BIC POTATO YIELD
Western Canada Man Raised 600
Bushels on Two Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but
There Were Even Larger crops
IN the Neiohborhood-lIve
Stock Men Prosper.

AS by-product the yield Of potatoes
on the farm Of Ben Pawson Of Coal
dale, Alberta, was somewhat Of a pay
Ing proposition. Coaldale is in the
Medicine Hat district Of Alberta. Med
icine Hat is place, pictured in the
mind of many Americans, where the
weather man holds high carnival. and
when he wants to put a little life or
spirit into the people just moves the
mercury down few notches. The
rascal has thus given Medicine Hat Q
rather unenviable place on the map.
But 1t isn't half as bad as 1t is pic
tured. Anyway. Ben Pawson likes it.
Last year he grew six hundred BUSH
els of potatoes on two acres Of land
that had no special preparation, and
only the usual precipitation, or rain,
as the less cultured would call it.
When he couldn't work at his hay or
grain, because Of the damp mornings,
he gave them some attention. And
then evenings between supper and
chores and bedtime he gave them some
work. Anyway his yield was six hum
dred bushels, and he sold the whole
lot for $2S5. Ben is satisfied. Still
there were larger yields than this in
the nelghborhood.
If one might speak Of hogs in the
same breath in which you speak Of po-
tatoes, there is nothing in the ethics
of literature that would create a de-
barment. Taking advantage of this
license 1t will not be out Of place to
state that large potato yields are not
the only feature Of interest in this
new and interesting country. Amongst
others hogs are having a good deal Of
attention. Not long ago, hogs reached
the $1,000 mark on the Calgary market.
1t doesn't cost much to raise hog
and very little to bring him to weight
of 200 pounds. Don't cost muchi Ger
tainly not. But what about the man who
recently paid $3.50 for Duroc Jersey
Boar? That was all right. That man
knew what he was doing. He was do
ing what great many other farmers
In Western Canada are doing today.
He is acting on the old "saw," that
'it costs no more to raise n good crit
ter than poor one" That is the rea-
son that Western Canada is looming
large in the live stock world. The best
is none too good. The same may be
said Of horses, cattle, yes, and sheep,
too. The very best sires and dams
of the best breeds are purchased. And
while big prices are paid, 1t is felt that
the demand for pure-bred stock at
home and abroad will bring returns
which will warrant any reasonable
price that may be asked.-Advertise-
ment.
