Pressure from a forceful, growing
Nazi influence, observers believed To-
day, compelled realignment OF the
3umanian cabinet.
Although an Official reason was lack
ing for the resignation Of Premier
George Tatarescu and his swift recall
BY King Carol to form new govern
nent. the move was viewed by some
-ources as an effort to avert Nazl
threats of force.
Nicholas Titulescu, foreign minister,
-.as dropped Saturday from the cab
net. He had complained anti-Jewish
nd pro-Nazi activities had harnpered
lis dealings abroad. In addition ne
-as reported to fear death at the
,ands of the Naziinclined Iron
:uards."
A shake-up, however, had been ex-
,ded in Bucharest because OF political
nd economic unrest.
Peasant State Sponsored.
The National Peasant Party-largest
Yolitical organization in Rumania ana
possessing a peaceful army OF 5OOOoO
farmers-has been at loggerheads with
the government. Ion Mihalache, party
leader, has sponsored a program to
make his country peasant state with
tate control of financial institutions.
Around Madame Magda Lupescu,
"Rumania's uncrowned queen has
evolved much agitation, not only by
>grarian leaders, but also by several
-.azi groups and student organizations.
King Carols authenticated, Jewish
riend has been charged with heading
,e camarilla which opposition leaders
Ill state within the state"
Much blood has been shed in dem
nstrations against Nine. Lupescu.
.-ews pleaded that her court" be dis
banded. attributing much Of the anti
1emitic rioting throughout the nation
TO resentment against her.
Agitators have warned King Carol
to choose between her and his throne.
Nine. Lupescu's name was prohibited
from appearing in Rumanian news
papers.
Several grave economic problems
complicate the strain on the Rumanian
government.
The farmers-Rumania Is 90 per
cent peasant-have shown impatience
over delayed agrarian reform. They
have complained against high taxes
and recent commitments for arma-
ments have led to fears the levies may
go higher.
Headed Into Germany's Arms.
Some observers attached significance
to Titulescu's exclusion from the new
government because Rumania's for
eign policy is closely entwined with its
economic program. They pictured the
nation as headed, by economic neces-
sity, into the arms of Germany, which
is capable of absorbing great quantities
of Rumanian products.
Titulescu, on the other hand, ad-
vocated close friendship with the
U. S. S. r.
The Nazi movement has grown into
a union of groups which formerly fol-
lowed separate political cources. 1t is
centered in the National Christian
party, the Nazi Iron Guards" and
smaller groups which have been at
tracted to the "Rumania for the Ru-
manians" policy.
The movement has borrowed the
swastika from German Nazis as well
as many of their planks. Its aims
have been stated to include expulsion
of Jews from government posts, depri-
vation of their citizenship, restriction
of Jews in professions and suppression
of all minorities. More radical fac
tions have advocated banishment OF
all minorities, which constitute 80 per
cent of the Rumanian population.
The population includes 100000
Hungarian peasants, almost 100000
Germans, 100000 Ukranians, 100000
Bulgarians, $50, 900 Turks, ITS, 900 Rus
slams, 10000 Serbians, 10000 Poles and
10000 Slovaks.
