TO PROTECT THE RUMANIAN
GATEWAY

That France and Poland realize the
danger of the Bolsherist preparations
for a spring campaign, and are deter
mined to checkmatc the Soviet designs,
Is indicated by an Associated Press
dispatch from Paris. The substance of
this announcement is that Poland and
Rumania are negotiating a defensive
olliance.
Such an alliance almost prccludcs Il
successful attack by the Bolshcvists at
any point on their Central European
borders. After France came to the
rescue Of Poland. and the victory Of the
Vistula was followed by strong prcpa-
rations to cope with any future NOV"
by the Reds. Rumania was the logical
poin, for a Bolshcvist thrust.
Since the armisticc Rumania had
auarreled with all Of her allies and was
not on cordial terms with any other
European nation. She could not even
call the United States friendly. as her
ENJOYS and Mr.. Wilson had a little spat
at Faris which resulted in some bitter
ness. Her differences with France and
Z OluIu NSiS 'SINN'd'g ~
On account Of this situation, to-
Gether with the fact that the Bolshe-
visits have been concentrating large
forces near the Rumanian boundary,
the outlook up until 4 few days ago had
been that Rumania would have u meet
a heavy attack without outside assist
ancc. For Rumania to be defeated and
brought under Bolshevist control would
b.. bad enough. but the major danger
was that Rumania would become a Boil
shevik gateway to all Central Europe.
Rumania. as now constituted, cCcu-
pics n strong strategic position. She
commands the Danube, the route to the
Black Sea and an important strategic
railway leading into Russian territory.
Once through Rumania. an army would
have an easy time with Hungary and
Austria. and might overrun both
Czecho-Slorakia and Jugo-Slaria, IN
which case Italy and Germany could
hardly escape tho Bolshevist contagion.
Obviously. then, it IS far better to
assist Rumania than to permit the bar
ricr 10 be battered Own. Apparently.
France and Poland have decided TO act
upon this view and to forget their quar-
rels with Rumania. That they have
sufficient breadth Of vision to do so Is
probably fortunate for the world.

ably take a position on opposition to the government, and. as some have strong following and have been able to increase their strength through their position i'm the government, they might become extremely trouble some.
 It is said that in one week recently three members of the cabinet offered their resignations, but were persuaded to remain at their posts. Adolfo de la Huerta, former Provisional President and now Secretary of the Treasury; is reported to have been anxious to leave the cabinet at one time, but is now firmly supporting General Obre- gon. Just what President Obregon would do if not hampered by a strong-head- ed cabinet, with some members hay ing socialistic or radical leanings, is a matter which has been much de- bated.
 Nearly every American who meets President Obregon comes away with a good impression as to the sound ness of his views and his friendly feeling toward tht United States. Yet some express uneasiness because he has among his advisers men of so- cialistic 1eaningss such as MT. de Ia Huerta. and Dr. Jose Vasconcelos, rec tor of the National University, and men who are not entirely friendly to the United States, such as pr.

benefit and enrichment of Germany and not of the United States.
 German Influences
 The appointment rof Dr. Alfredo Ca tureSH as Minister to Germany is linked with German influences in Mexico. Several months ago Dr. Ca turegH was chosen as Minister to France and was to have sailed at once for Europe. He delayed going because he desided to attend to some business interests here and during this time is said to have been in closer touch with Germans here than with members of the French colony. Dr. CaturegH is a business man who has been able to amasS a fortune during the years of revolutions. There is not much prospect of getting capital on large scale from France for develop ment projects in Mexico, but there have been assurances that great inter tests in Germany will be able to spend millions in Mexico.
 Dr. Caturegli, who was reluctant to go to France, was quite willing to go to Germany.
 Official explanation of the decision to send Dr. Caturegi to Germany in stead of France is that Germany has recognized Mexico and sent an Am baSSador here, which makes it neces- sary for Mexico to have a representa- tive in Germany at once. But before this change was made it was insisted that France had recognized the Mex ican government, The appointment of Dr.. Caturegn as Minister to France was based upon this supposed recog- nition.
 Piqued at France
 The Mexican government Is also said to be piqued because France has not completed steps to reopen dipIo- matic relations.
 Dr. Caturegn was Mexico's f1nan cial agent in the United States before the appointment of Roberto V. Pes- quiera, who filled that post for short time. Both Caturegn and Pes quiera are now interested in land de- velopment projects and 1t is expected that CaturgeHs visit to Germany will put him in sympathy with large Ger man colonization plans which are be- ing worked out here and in Germany.
 The German idea, of course is to make Mexico German and keep this country as far apart from the United States as possible.
 . Dr. Dillons trip to London is for the purpose of convincing the British government that it should act at once in recognizing Mexico. While Dr.
