League to Determine
Rights of Rumania
(By Associated Press)

PARIS. Wednesday. Sept. 10.-The
Rumanian delegation TO the peace con-
ference in explaining Its attitude in
refusing to sign the treaty with Aus
tria today, holds that, since Rumania
acquired membership in the league Of
nations through signing the treaty
with Germany, the league must be the
tribunal which will eventually consider
its claims and decide whether Austria
can be forced to accept treaty pro-
viding for foreign interference in her
domestic affairs. Remania's objection
to signing the treaty was based on the
clause providing that nations receiv-
ing territory from the former Austro-
Hungarian empire must provide for
the protection of racial and religious
minorities residing there.
Rumania might have required Bu-
kowina under the Austrian treaty, but
as her delegation failed to sign the
supreme council holds that the sigma
ture of other powers does not make
the transfer possible until Rumania
accepts the treaty. Under the propos-
ed treaty with Hungary, Rumania
would acquire Pennsylvania, but under
the same terms relative to minorities
in that region. Rumania for this rea-
son, is expected to refuse to sign that
convention.
