THE Avarescu government, which was supported by
one party has been suppanted in an unexpectedly
short time by government coalition gov
eminent The head of the government is Prince
Stirbey, the administrator of the crown lands, who
abeones to no party" The following parties are
represented in the government: the Liberals BRA
tianu's partly, the National Peasant Party CARA
nsts') the Independent Peasant Party with Dr.
Iupu at its head and Argetojanu, a member of the
former Avarescu cabinet The change of cabinet
was not preceded by any obvious conflict in parlia-
ment or in the senate 1t due to acute differ
ences of opinion between Bratianu and the court
clique on the one hand and Avarescu on the other
hand dissensions in questions of economies and
home and foreign policy
The Liberal Party of Bratinau represents the in
terests of large financial capital in Roumania The
largest undertakings and the largest banks In the
country including the National Bank, are in their
hands. They have the soundest financial organiza-
ton at their disposal and represent the most nflu
entail bourgeois political factor in the country.
General Avarescu and his circle entered the arena
of political life creatures of the Liberals. The
Liberals made use of General Avarescu as the most
pliable and convenient tool in the most difficult
political moments. In 1907 they made use of him
to suppress the peasant revolt. At that time Avar
escu, at their dictate, had 1900 poor insurgent
peasants shot who demanding bread, work and
Gland. The Liberals then made use of Avarescu at
the time of the war The defeated army of Roumania
"a mass phenomenon. In order to arrest the disin-
tegration of the army and reorganize it, the Liberals
crowned General Avarescu with the halo of vic
torious general.
After the war the Liberals again aimed blow
at the proletarian mass movement with the help Of
Avarescu. In 1920, Avarescu, as prime minister,
dispersed the socialist party numbering 100000
members, and the trade union organizations in
which 100000 workers were united. 1t was daily
for persons to be arrested tortured and
shot for attempted flight"
~ The Liberals regarded Avarescu as indispen-
sable reserve to whom they have handed over the
power when they considered it desirable and from
whom they took it again at their own sweet will.
The last Avarescu government was also thrust
to the fore by the Liberals. It's government pro-
gram came into being the basis of pact with
the Liberals.
Although Avarescu was always dependent on the
Liberals he was ever on the search for oppor-
tunty of freeing himself from the Liberal leading
strings. He had pursued qthis aim with special
energy since last year. Supported at home by
section of the circle of officers in high position by
a section of Transylvanian capital 1.-THE Goldisch-
Goga group) by section of the village bourgeosie
and in his foreign policy by Chamberlain and espe-
cially by Mussoiin Avarescu tried to steer course
in direct opposition to Bratianu's policy" Whereas
the Liberals are endeavoring to restrict foreign
capital which dominates large fields of Roumanian
life and to get possession of the wealth of the coun
try itself, Avarescu was perfectly willing to attract
foreign capital From Mussolini he received loan
of 200 million Italian lire in return for large pc
troleum concessions The queen was sent to America
to tout for money
Negotiations were carried on with Germany with
regard to loan to the amount of 200 million marks
Avarescu was prepared to accept extremely I'M
favorable conditions. ie one hundred million marks
were to be paid to Rouhania in the form of credit
in kind (railway materially, forty millions were to
remain in Germany for the sterilization of the lei;
nevertheless Roumania would have had to pay in
