OANAAuA Gov, 1IAAAioLlld, julie l.-lHJ-
The proclamation of former Crown
Prince Carol as king of Ruman:a was
demanded today by a majority Of
deputies in parliament close upon
the heels of Carols dramatic return
to Bucharest by airplane from his
exile in France.
1t had been decided earlier that
Carol should be proclaimed king to-
night but 1t was found impossible to
hold a sitting Of parliament which
probably will be convoked tomorrow
morning.
Should the government insist or
the standpoint that Carol become
regent only, it is possible Premier
Manu- will resign and that parlia-
ment will proclaim Carol as king OF
its own powers.
The populace was reported pressing
for Carols proclamation as king.
The proclaiming of the former
Crown Prince Carol as King Of Ru-
mania will remove from the list OF
European kings its youngest mem
Der, little King Michael. who ascend
ed the throne on July 20, 1927, when
he was not quite six years old.
King Michael, or Mickey as he
was known by his young friends in
the days before he became a king, was
not to have actually ruled Rumania
until he became Of age. A board Of
Regency, one member of which was
his uncle, Prince Nicholas, acted in
his stead and he only made his ap-
pearance as king on formal occasions.
In the first conference between
Carol and Premier MANU-, respecting
Carols return. Carol said he had
come back to Rumania because of the
bad economic situation Of the coun-
try. His previous Remuneration. he
said, had occasioned grave uncertain
ty concerning Rumania at home and
abroad.
He then told the premier that hi
work would be to restore Rumania's
prestige and welfare.
Negotiations Were Secret
It has been an open secret for
months that Carol had negotiated
with emissaries OF the present gov
eminent, headed by M. Manu- and
based on his leadership of the Peas
ants party. to return to Rumania.
Liberals, always opposed to him. be-
gan an active campaign headed by
their chief, Bentile Bratianu. to
thwart the plans.
Queen Marie q few days ago made
a special trip to Germany to consult
with members OF the Hohenzollern
family. to which her husband, Fer
dinand, belonged, with the idea of
clearing up possible troubles which
might arise when her son returned
to Bucharest.
M. Bratianu called upon Premier
Manu- Thursday and impressed upon
him the necessity of keeping Carol
away from the capital since. he said,
the immediate result would be the
fall of the government and formation
of a new n of concentration.
Carols deep enmity toward M.
Bratianu was a matter of common
knowledge. the prince holding ventile
and his late brother Jan responsible
for his expulsion from the country.
The attitude which Carol will adopt,
If he succeeds to the Regency council
now, or ascends to the throne, Is a
matter of considerable interest, since
he has many cores to settle.
Advices from Paris were to the ef-
feet that Carol had abandoned Nine.
Lupescu, for whom he renowned his
right to succeed to the throne and
that she had left eight days ago for
Switzerland.
A few days ago Carol wired Gener-
al Verescu, always a friend, and lead
er OF the peoples party. that he had
repudiated Nine. Lupescu, with whom
he has not been living regularly or
continually for the past few months.
This message made the liberals
frantic since they correctly interpret
ed it as indicating his return was but
a matter of a few days. They were
said even to have offered the throne
to Prince Charles, second son OF King
Albert of Belgium. Carol became &C
quainted with these developments
while still in Paris and determined to
risk everything before it was too late.
Gone Five Years
Carol, whose arnours have disturb
ed this country's politics for 10 years,
returned to Bucharest after five
years absence.
He left behind him in Paris his
red-haired companion Of several
years, Nine. Magda Lupescu, for love
Of whom in 1925 he signed away his
rights to the throne and established
the succession which led. two years
later, to the browning of his infant
son, Michael, in his stead.
