BUCHAREST, Rumania, June IA
A young man with glossy, blondish hair,
a small. darker mustache and bright
open smile Is standing at one end of
long room talking in voice hardly
above a whisper.
He is the man who waited four years
in exile and then few his way TO a
throne.
This young man wears an informal
uniform of white jacket, white trousers
and white shoes, so that in the room
decorated with all shades of red-ma-
room curtains, Turkey-red carpets, ver-
million chairs, crimson hangings, he
looks from a distance like a white paper
doll pinned against ruddy damask.
He Is the man who succeeds to the
throne of his own son as king-the first
monarch in the history of the world
to reach a throne in such a way.
This young man stands easily and
gracefully with a good deal of bash
fulness in his voice, but plenty of poise
in his manner, perfectly master of him
self and the situation. To his right Is
a bronze bust of his boy.
He Is Carol, second King of Rumania
the newest king in Europe and the
youngest.
Inside the room, which is the library
Of his town palace, was present what
might have been called medievalism-
In the bowling courtiers and uniformed
servants, in the lines of mellow books
on shelves, in the heavy ornate carvings
on the ancient staircase, in the lofty
cathedral-li&e candelabra.
Boom Of Traffic Heard.
And outside could be heard the
boom and siZzle of traffic snarls and
of taxi horns. and soon the piping
voices of boys selling newspapers ir
the streets. Not the least element in
this paradox was the knowledge that
the boys were shouting out the news
that Juliu Manu-, National Peasant
leader, had been charged by Carol ar
hour before to form government.
This meant that Carol, for the mo-
ment, had been unable to find any one
to form the kind of coalition govern
ment he would have preferred and
that he acceded to Maniu's unbendine
request that his party, which has ar
overwhelming predominance in Parlia.
ment, must rule. (But later, in the
night, Maniu was destined to bow In
failure to Gen. Peter Presan, who wa,
to undertake the maudate)
Servants closed the windows, the
noises were shut out and the interview
late yesterday afternoon began. There
was nothing medieval about Carol!

KING CAROL SENDS MESSAGE
TO AMERICA IN INTERVIEW
Tell People of America l Regard Them as
Friends" He Says-Thanks Press for
Attitude During Exile.

the details were decided upon by myself
and arranged by myself" Carol pro-
ceeded. However, he paid warm tribute
to his brother Nicholas, who handled
the Bucharest end of the coup, de-
scribing him as faithful collaboration.
Message to America.
''Tell the Rumanians In Chicago and
elsewhere in the United States" said
Carol, answering by request for a mes
sage to America, that I will never
forget the courtesy, hospitality and
warmth of welcome 1 found every
where" Carol said that he remembered
his trip to America as he does the
Rumanians. Carol then switched from
French to excellent English:
"I should have liked to have been able
to stay in America longer to study the
social organization there and the public
spirit of the country, which intensely
admire. Tell the people of America that
regard them as friends, with an
earnest desire to have them as friends
in mutual collaboration. I want to ex-
press my thanks for the attitude of the
ceptions-in its invariable consideration
of me during my years in exile"
Passing to matters of state, Carol said
briefly, that his acts as King would
| always be within the constitution. "It
is my ideal to work in sincere collabora-
ton with the cabinet and Parliament" -"
he affirmed
Pointing to the bust of Michael, the
King described feelingly his intense JOY
over the reunion with his son. His
eulogy of Nicholas followed.
"Rumania Is convinced that the de-
velopment of its natural resources must
be by foreign capital, which am sin
cere in my desire to welcome and en-
courage" continued the new King. It
is not true, Carol said, that there is
any anti-Semitism here ANY one who
speaks of persecution of Jews does not
know that the temper of the Rumanian
people Is noted for its tolerance"
Talks of External Affairs.
Carol progressed to external affairs
and thanked the French for their hos
pitality during his exile in France. He
said, referring to Italy, that the Italians
and Rumanians were naturally close
because they are Of the same origin,
with the same blood and in large
part, the same temperament.
| "a strong bond of amity also exists
between Rumania and Hungary, both
| countries being agricultural, and fore
see this close unity in future" was
Carols assurance. Our relations with
Jugoslavia are also close on account of
the connection between our royal
houses"
Finally, with reference to the minori-
ties, Carol said decisively that he con-
sidered all the minority groups to be
Rumanians and promised them fair
treatment.
This interview had begun with the
| graceful entrance of Carol from the
hall behind, and now that it was at
an end, with quick smile and a nod
he prepared to withdraw. He said that
he was delighted TO meet the newspaper

fectly accurate in their reports of the

what the canal could charge and ex-
list. Labor disputes also cut down the
tonnage.
George Washington is the father of
this canal project. 1t was the apple
of his eye. His diary, published in
four large volumes, contains more
reference to the canal than to any
other matter that attracted his no
tice in his long and busy career. To
his urging and at his instigation the
first canal company was organized by
laws passed by the Assemblies of Vir-
ginia and Maryland, and in 1885,
when the Potomac Company was or
ganized, he was made it's first presi-
dent. He personally surveyed the
route of the original canal. He rode
his horse up and down both banks of
the river beyond the falls and to Sem
eca and beyond looking for route.
He rode in boat through the treach-
erous rapids trying to find a way up
the river. At Harper's Ferry he en-
dangered his life in a boat and only
came ashore at the urgent pleading
of his friends.
Private capital furnished the $780,
900 necessary to carry out the initial
project, and to this he subscribed lib
orally. When the company's engi-
neer advised a lateral canal, Wash
ington took the field and painstak-
ingly surveyed route himself up the
stream, recommending that the OBJ
structions in the channel be removed
to forward navigation. The engineer,
a Mr.. Rumsey, invented boat that
could be propelled against the stream,
and Washington thought so much of
the invention that he furthered its de-
velopment and made Rumsey the first
engineer of the canal. Later he helped
Rumsey in his invention of the first
steamboat, an invention popularity at
tributed to Robert Fulton. One finds
several references in the diary to this
man and his inventions. He proved to
be impractical as an engineer and was
removed.
The Potomack company completed
the canal and opened it to navigation
in 1902. 1t provided a lateral canal
around the falls above Washington
and opened navigation to Cumberland.
The commerce it carried from 1779
to 1917 was 106,834 tons, employing
9,944 boats and having value of ST.
002,370. This was not insignificant
when one considers the time and the
infancy of the country. But the Poto-
mack company was only moderately
successful, for Washington's strong
hand was not on it during his Presi-
dency, and after his death it went in
to bankruptcy and transferred it's
charter to the Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal Company in 1926.
The present canal was completed in
1850 at cost of $11,071,176, SUBJ
scribed by the United States, Mary
land and private interests. 1t is
lateral canal, following the Maryland
shore to Cumberland, having rs locks
with an average lift of 8 feet, and
giving maximum depth of 10 and a
minimum depth of feet of water.
The locks are only Is by 100 feet and
can pass boats having tonnage of
no more than 122 tons. In 1889 the
canal was damaged by-food and was
out of commission two and one-half
years. In 1894 another flood damaged
it so badly that it has not since been
in use. The boats that piled its wa
tiers have disappeared; the terminal
at Cumberland has been dismantled

mined for commercial purposes.
This region is also extremely rich
in coal, and at one time the produc-
ton of the Maryland mines alone
reached nearly 100000 tone a year.
Labor disputes and the abandonment
of the old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
cut this production nearly in half.
The actual reduction was 40 per cent
over a period of sixteen years.
The industrial development now
centers in Cumberland, Hagerstown,
Frederick, Alexandria and Washing
ton, where the chief articles manufac-
tured are automobile tires, celanese
Ia form of rayon), steel, tinplate,
lime, cement, brick, flour, furniture,
and organs. It is thought that the
development of this waterway, with
it's production of cheap power and
with available native American labor,
to say nothing of the salubrious eli
mate and cheap navigation to tide
water, to rail centers and to great
markets, will speed the growth of it's
industries and the building up of its
cities and chief towns. There is a
paper mill at Luke, Md, for instance,
which gets all it's raw material from
Baltimore and Philadelphia. This
wood pulp comes either from Canada
or from Europe and moves from sea-
board by rail to mill. The possibilities
of the canal for the development of
this one industry are said to be al
most limitless. If one writes down
the large cities on the banks of the
entire Mississippi River system, the
market for the paper made in the
mills is seen to be larger than any
possible development of the mills in
the next half century could supply.
It is the hope of Congress and the
Government that eventually all heavy
freight can and will move over the
canalized streams of the country when
the full system is finally devel-
oped. This is evidently the purpose
back of this survey. When the Poto-
mac project is completed, the steel
mills of Baltimore and Philadelphia,
for instance, can draw their raw ma
terial from the mines and quarries
along or near to the Potomac, NOV
ing them on the barge line at con-
siderable saving in freight charges.
And on the back haul the tire factor
les and rayon plants and other mills
can get their raw material from the
seaports at similar saving in haul
age.
Coal mining was an important in
dustry in the Cumberland region as
far back as 1910. During the period
1826-4O, when the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad was building, a small feet of
boats carrying from 1000 to 1900
bushels of coal, made the trip to
Washington each year, and the boats
were broken up on arrival at the Cap
ital and sold for timber or firewood.
(They were similar to the barges
Abraham Lincoln carried to New Or
leans loaded with produce and sold.)
In 1850 the first barge of coal was
carried on the new Chesapeake &
Ohio Canal, and by 1875 the tonnage
had grown until that year $4,000
tons were brought to Washington and
the ports to the east. By 1920-21 this
tonnage fell to $4,000 tons, due to
the smallness Of the canal, to damage
to the waterway from floods, and to
the fact that the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad had acquired control of the
canal and had cut freight rates below
