The monarch of 100000 Ru-

had no intention Of dropping France
and Great Britain from its list of
old friends.
Fears Abroad Mistaken"
ANY uncertainty abroad in this
matter Is a mistaken fear" Carol
said in half-hour interview.
In some quarters there seems to
have been a little uneasiness because
we have approached somewhat closer

that Rumania has acquired some new

Hull Opposed to Plan.
By the Associated Press.
Secretary Hull indicated Yesterday
the United States would continue its
policy Of permitting arms shipments
to both Japan and China and would
not join in the reported agreement
OF Britain. France and Russia to
assist China.
he SAID at his press conference he
had no dispatches on the reported
understanding of the three countries
to aid China and to ask the United
States to collaborate with them,
Also, he said. the United States had
no new foreign policy on this sub
ject. This Government has refrained
from invoking the neutrality act and
thus banning arms shipments to both
China and Japan. It has forbidden
shipment of arms to either country
IN Government-owned vessels, how
ever.
Chairman Pittman. Democrat, OF
Nevada. Of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, told reporters that
aid by this Government would "be
absolutely contrary to the Presidents S
policy of on-intervention."
He added any agreement with other
nations to aid China would ''be inter-
preted as a military alliance against
a government with which we are still
at peace"
1T is perfectly lawful for the people
Of the United States to do anything
they please" Pittman continued.
