Protest Against the Roumanian Terror!
An Appeal to American Worker

a concerted movement OF protest against

Arrest Trade UnIonlsts.

T asst year the entire executive commit
Atee of the Unitarian Federation Of Labor
was placed under arrest in Bucharest.
Thus even trade unions are made illegal in
Roumania. While there is terrific exploit
alton in the oil fields, the salt mines and
the factories of Bucharest, Constanza and
other large centers, the workers have been
unable to organize adequate resistance be-
cause the terror ds invoked against them.
On the occasion of the arrest of the Trade
Union Executive, however, a general strike
was called and supported by large numbers
of workers. This shows that the RoumAn-
ian working class has the fighting spirit
and the courage-but the odds against them
are huge spy system and an overmanned
gendarmerie
Such, in brief, and only too inadequately
is the white terror as conducted in the
land Of Queen Marie. Thousands OF mas
sacred peasants, hundreds of workers who
died in prison, thousands more in the
bastiles of the Boyars stain the robes of
"her majesty" with their blood Many are
the martyrs of Roumania. Only this year

BY THURsER LEWIS.

QUEEN MARIE has come to the
" United States to save her hus-
bands throne. That is the hard fact
hiding beneath the ballyhoo and
trumpeting of the royal consort's
Journey to the land of the almighty
dollar.
A harder fact is that her husbands
throne drips with blood. For nine
years, under the rule Of King Ferd1n-
and, the Roumanian workers and
peasants have been submitted to
systematic and pitiless White Terror
to be equaled only by the notorious
excuses that curse Bulgaria and Po-
land.
A third fact is that Roumania is
preparing for war on scale befitting
a first-class power. Turned down in
both London and Paris for further
loans to continue its ambitious pro-
gram of INFLAMMATION, Roumania
now turns to the United States for
credit. 1t was Queen Marie who went
to London and Paris in a vain effort
to float large loans and it is Queen
Marie who comes to knock at Wall
Streets door. for the same purpose.
But against whom is Roumania
preparing? Why must she maintain
an army larger than that of the Unit
ed States? Roumania makes no Sc
cret of the fact that her war-like pre-
parations are directed against Soviet
Russia. In addition to this the mill
tary manner in which the country is
governed makes large force neces-
saTy for internal service against the
peasants and workers and the ma
tional minorities. All this requires
money and the queen has come to
the right place to get it.

In 1917, during the Roumanian occupation
the Boyars outstripped their czarist pre-

the trial there was preserved the outward
appearance of publicity regarding the pro-

public was excluded. When, however, Cos

defenders Of the accused peasants, wished
to speak of the torturings which they suf-

that foreigners were present"
