The Washington times., 1920-08-25


In his fathers dominions. which
are to be his some day. Prince
Carol has interesting people OF all
nationalities. but the population is
largely Rumanian. Racial homo
geneity means safety. The Ru-
manians are a powerful, laborious,
agricultural people. There are in
cluded in the population several
hundred thousand OF the "uncanny"
Germans.
Some OF them were sent In by
Marie Theresa OF Austria, others
were sent to Rumania and col
onized there by the second Cath
crime of Russia, who was German
princess.
Prince Carol, on his mothers
side, has English blood. which
shows in his blond permanent
wave. On another side he is OF
German Catholic descent.
He takes life cheerfully, az
princes usually do. and as he goes
through life studies earnestly for
a young man with whom study is
not compulsory. He went to Min
neapolis to study the flour mills.
to Chicago to study the slaughter
houses. Grain and cattle are most
important in his country.
He sails for home next Satur-
day, having visited India, Egypt,
Japan and other countries.
Prince Carol confirmed the state
ment that a little League Of Ma
tions has been formed in Central
Europe consisting of Rumania,
Austria and Czecho- -Slovakia- "The
war is over; we must trade with
those that were our enemies and
have made a trade arrangement
with Austria accordingly" That
is common sense. He ought to
go to Washington and tell our
Government about it. For he and
his people know what war really
is, and are glad to get out WE
hang on
"The most embarrassing mo-
ment" for the Prince was when
Bolshevism broke out in Rumania.
AT that time we had on Ruman-
ian soil forty-four divisions Of
Russian troops, more than a mil
lion men, armed, in our own coun-
try. And our total forces amount
ed to only 100000 men.
"You can imagine the situation,
with more than a million Russian
troops suddenly turned into Boil
shevists, saying to our fourteen
divisions, why do you fight?
What's the use? Come and be
Bolshevists with US and let US all
enjoy ourselves
However, we finally got rid Of
them, and now we view everything
optimistically. Our country, rap
idly rising from war conditions,
sees prosperity increasing every
day."
The Prince wishes capitalists Of
the United States to know that
they will all be welcome in Ru-
mania if they come to invest their
money developing old, or starting
new, enterprises. And Rumania
will be delighted to see them make
large profits.
Rumania, however, will not give
up control of the sources of ma
tional wealth, oil wells, mines and
so on, but will be glad to share
the national wealth with energetic
Americans that choose to help de-
velop it.
There are very good opportuni-
ties in Rumania, but TAKE
MONEY WITH YOU.
Interesting men met the Ru-
manian princes at Ambassador
Gerard's dinner. If each had told
the prince all that he knows, that
Rumanian monarch would have
taken back to Europe some infor-
nation about the United States
that, as it is, he will not take
back.
There was Mr.. White, manager
Of Mr.. Cox's campaign, tall, thin,
forceful, looking something like a
determined Indian chief, and lit
tie more like the late fat McCar-
rem, Of Brooklyn. There was Otto
H. Kahn, who could buy Rumania,
or a bit of it.
There was Delaney Nicol,
who could show the crown prince
how to capitalize the country for
a hundred times it's debt, and AL
len A. Ryan, of the Stutz Com
pany, who could show him how to
boost the price Of Russian bonds,
and Americans Of many other
kinds, some with fancy decora-
tions, and some with nothing but
pearls or diamonds in their demo-
cratic shirt fronts.
The prince said he would be
glad to haye a few million Ameri-
cans know what he had to say, so
here in this and other Hearst
newspapers, a few millions have
it.
