Moscow, March Gath Roumania, ac-
cording to reports from the Bessarablan
frontier, is beginning to mass her troops
and is mining the mouth of the tDaruhe.
Protest meetings against Roumanlan oc-

news from Bucharest intimates the Rou-

Russia raises the Bessarabian QCes.
tiOn. The conference at Vienna between
Roumanian and Russian Delegates on the
frontier question is about to begin, it in
cludes the Bessarabian problem which
led to 2 deadlock in the negotiations at
Odessa last year. The Russians demand
the evacuation Of Bessarabia and the

Lancaster. in a speech last night, declar-
ed the German Government had already
moved to the right and that if the na-
tional freedom party we're successful in
the coming elections, arming would be-
gin. the goodbye reparations. The
Government, he said, regarded this pos
sihilitv with the gravest anxiety, Tor 1t
was obvious there could be no settle
mant without German cooperation and
ANYTHING making that cooperation more
difficult would perpetuate the present
chaos and despair. The French cleo
tions would follow the German and
would inevitably be a reply to them
them. Thus within six years there might
arise in Germany a rubid Ia ;ionalism,
with all it's concomitants OF dictatorship

the people still doomed to walking as a

EGSGD(lUQ the INT H. Inc interim report
by the Committee of Inquiry admits that
the claim of the men for increased wages
is not seriously questioned, but that the
tramWays are not able to earn sufficient
amounts to meet the claims. All were
agreed, says the report, that the raising
of fares would be impracticable and that
the Only effective measure would be to
place the metropolitan area under some
coordination control of passenger traffic
to prevent overlapping. The Minister Of
Transport announced inl the House Of
Commons today that a London traffic bill
would be introduced tomorrow and ad-
vanced as rapidly as possible. The chief
provisions of the bill will be based on the
report of the committee which discussed
the subject last year.
Moscow, March oath. Because of the

result Of proplnquity. the enforced
