Commander Issues Statement.
Paris, Aug N9-The Rumanian
command in Budapest has issued
this statement:
Il hope the whole world will take
pains to learn the truth about the
peril which forced US to fight for
our lives. We have never left the
peace conference and shall obey its
orders, but we cannot sign the Aus
trian treaty if it contains the pro-
visions for the protection of minor
ltleS. We believe 1t is wrong tor
the big powers to force such condi-
tions on the small powers.
I'VE favored clause proposed for
the league of nations which would
have guaranteed the rights of all
persons, regardless of race or reli-
gion and believe that such action
should be taken by all the nations
acting together and imposed upon
all alike rather than upon a few
small powers by the great powers.
~ M. Misu stated that the Central
Powers took 1000 locomotives from
the Roumanians, leaving them only
200, of which so were really in good
repair. Roumania will probably get
back about 1000 locomotives under
the armistice terms it is enforcing
against Hungary, NJ. Misu declared

want to live there.
