and a large model farm on the
Danube.
Despite its growing. influence, the
Iron Guard has few men of minis
terial caliber owing to the frequent
purges under Carol since 1888. But
the Iron Guard has allegedly de-
manded that it be given majority
representation in any cabinet An
tonescu forms. This apparently eX-
planned why Antonescu seemed
willing to let the ministers bequeath-
ed to him by Carol remain in office
for the time being. They would re-
ceive the blame for what is now
happening, and the new govern
men could start with a clean slate.
Asked if he thought the Iron
Guard was sufficiently strong to
take power, lulu Manu-, prime min
lister in the Carol government, said
this was a difficult question. Told
that Carols train was shot at while
at the Timisora railway station by
Iron Guardists, Manu- shrugged and
said: "It was only natural, due to
the feelings of the people"

Gu that the future of the Rumanian

watched "by me and the German
people with warm interest"

King George Views
Damage by Nazi
bon,bers in London

LONDON, Set. 9. CUP King
George vi inspected the smashed
and fire Scared east end and
Thames dock area today and saw
one bomb crater so big it COULD
have held three or four London
buses.
A workman told the king that &c
houses stood on the site of the
crater until German bombers at
tackled Saturday night.
Beside the crater, at the kings
feet. lay the smashed photograph
of a wedding party, the bride hold
ing horseshoe for good luck.
Scattered about there were frag-
ments Of china, smashed clock
dented camera and a cheap white
fur neckpiece, now grimy with
dust
The king saw the twisted girders
of aslarge warehouse Quilted by fire
and a block of houses Jared three
feet out of line by bomb explo-
sion but still standing
There must be steel Orders in
those houses" the king said
People were removing their be-
longings from damaged houses as
the king watched. One woman
shouted:
Are we doWnhearted?"
Her neighbors chorused loudly:

In nearby shelter the king
found number of women ano
children still huddled, some of them
with bandaged arms and legs. He
sought to comfort woman who
had lost three children in the raid
Then he visited a school where
more than 300 persons, evacuated
from the dock area, had been shell
tered. In later raid the school
was hit and there were many cas-
ualties.
He paid tribute to the people OF
London after his tour, saying that
Everyone has been wonderfully
brave"
He was received warmly by resi-
dents of the district, many of whom
are without homes and some oil
whom have lost husbands, wives

Nazis Warn Raids
viii Go on Until
Decision Reached

BERLIN, Sept. 9. CUP)-Unfavor-
able weather interrupted massed
Nazi air attacks on Great Britain
temporarily early today, but the
German press warned that London
might suffer the fate of bomb
shattered Warsaw if British raids
on the Reich continue.
Even the usually conservative
Hamburger Fremdenblatt declared
that London's fashionable west
end" may be attacked by German
bombers if British raids continue
against Germany
1.-THE greater part of the English
capital, particularly the homes and
amusement places of those circles
from whose midst sprang the per-
sons guilty of this war have inten-
tionally been spared so far" the
newspaper said.
after the recent attacks of the
Raj, however, against the civil
population of the Reich, one must
conclude that the lessons thus far
given by the German air force have
not been taken to heart.
"The fortress of London is play
ing just as challengingly and just
as frivolously with fate as did the
fortress of Warsaw"
The newspaper Deutsche Allga-
meme Zeitung said that reprisal
raids on Britain would continue
after today's temporary lull unit!

Two French Ships
Court Capture by

SAN PEDRO, CAL, Sept. 9. (UP)
Two French merchant vessels that
have been anchored here since the
capitulation of France are sched-
uled to sail some time tonight. The
destination ostensibly is Oakland
Cal, but crew members said they
would not be surprised" if they
were taken in custody by British
destroyers.
The ships are the Wisconsin

which arrived from Europe June
%, and the Vannes, carrying a
crew of Is under Capt. Maurice
Ruiller, which arrived from Sc

An officer of the French line
in New York was said to have Or
dered the sailings. Whether the
order was sanctioned by the new
French government was not known.
The ships originally had been Or
dered to anchor here by the old
government before the French ca
pitulation to Germany.
BY keeping with the territorial
waters of the United States and
skirting the coastline as closely as
possible, the SHIPS might evade

to do so was not known.

BUCHAREST, Rumania. Sept. 9.
rJP)-A public trial of ex-King
Carol on charges of mishandling
public funds was considered likely
in well informed quarters today,
following Dictator Gen. Ion Anton
escu's order sequestering all Carols
stocks and bonds.
Numerous arrests among leaders
of ex-King Carols government gave
rise today to the belief that the
dictator would give out his vow to
lpEnish those responsible for recent
governments.
His supporters pointed out, how
ever, that if the pro-Nazi iron
guard comes into power, its treat
ment of political enemies would be
far more harsh.
Reported arrested were former
premiers George Tatarescu and
Constantin Aregtoianu. While they
and other Carol men were going
into prisons throughout Rumania,
scores of political offenders i'm
priSoned under the Carol regimes
were coming cut.
Indicating his determination to
suppress all unrest, Antonescu Or
dered the concentration of thous-
ands of police and military sentries
at important centers to prevent
Iron Guard or other demonstrations
against the loss of Pennsylvania.

Expert Says Night
Bon1bings Intended
To Stop Raj Raids
BY J. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

Intensified night bombings over
London are aimed primarily at try
ing to force Great Britain to cease
night attacks on German cities,
more especially Berlin. Hitler last
week described night raids as use
less and threatened reprisals. There
is little reason to magnify the raids
beyond this purpose.
Authoritative British quarters ex-
press doubt that the Germans are
trying to "erase" London. The da-
mage is far from being extensive
enough to interfere seriously with
normal daytime activities of the
people, who returned to work Mon
day as usual.
London likewise disbelieves the
German bombs are being dropped
"promiScuously." Most of the casual
ties and damage have occurred in
the poorer quarters of the capital
which suggests deliberate purpose
The German intention is to try
to terrorize civilians so that pub
lie opinion will compel the British
government to agree to end al
night raids. In general, the poorer
undisciplined tenement jewellers are
more emotionally affected by per.
sonal disaster than other classes
Hitler, apparently, hopes that re.
peated bombings of working elias!
districts will produce the results HI
desires.

differs from the normal workin,
class of continental Europe. He i

stantly during the Spanish revolu

Chungking, too, has been attacke'
heavily and repeatedly from tn

just a little than run the risk Of
losing everything. After the
middle Of the last century, every
citizen, be he rich rs CrOesus or
poor as Job, could take a direct
part in the government by
means Of the ballot box.
Came the Great War, and In the
wake of this calamity a world
wide spread Of what this time
seemed to be a true and lasting
form of popular government.
The fight seemed to have been
won. But today, only 20 years
after Versailles, nearly every one
of these democracieS, started
among such high hopes, has passed
out of existence.
In the smaller neutral countries
of Europe, popular government sur
wives. 1t is a strange mixture or
socialism and devotion to some par
ticular royal family.
Everywhere else, democracy has
persisted. 1t passed out of the pic
ture through its own inherent
weakness, a deliberate cult of me-
diocrity, an absolute unwilling
ness to face unpleasant facts, an
exaggerated devotion to material
interests, an almost mythical be-
lief in the efficacy Of the spoken
word and the unwillingness of the
leaders to have the courage of
their own convictions.
That is where the matter stands
today. All over Europe the last
strongholds sof popular self-gov-
eminent are being. threatened with
extinction by their powerful
neighbors who have submitted to
the will of a dictator.
AS for those who survive (our-
SELVES included), they seem abso-
lutely unable to save either their
friends or themselves. They waste
their time in talk. They pour out
words, words and more words. But
they do not raise a finger to sus-
tain that cause in which they pre-
end to believe with such glorious
fervor whenever they get together
and treat each other to some fine
oratory.
For alas, none of their leaders
seems as yet to have learned that
democracy, being the most diff
cult and complicated form of gov
eminent ever devised by human
ingenuity, can only be maintained
by constant watchfulness on the
part of all of the citizens and by
a most careful scrutiny and selec-
ton of those whom they wish to
recognize as their leaders.
Without that unselfish devo-
ton to the interest of the COM
munity at large, all democracies
are bound to end in dictator
ship. That is the great lesson
which the history of the last
5000 years teaches us, beyond
the vestige of doubt.

sion, but don't blame me. I don't

the same.
In France, the bankers, Is years
after Napoleon'S downfall, brought
about a revolution which drove
the last of the incorrigible Bour-
bons from the country and be-
slowed the crown upon a survivor
of the revolution-prince of the
house of Orleans, who was there
upon acclaimed as Louis Philippe,
King of the French, "by the will
of the people"
All that happened in or before
the year 1880, but the explosion was
not serious enough to cause a uni
versal change.
The reactionaries continued to
suppress all attempts at liberty
with unparalleled force and lack
of imagination until the outbreak
of 1848, which for moment
seemed to menace every throne in
every part of the world. But no
sooner were the new popular lead
ers in power than it was the same
sad old story all over again.
Under the new democratic
masters there was a complete
absence of authority. Hundreds
of eager patriots claimed that
they, and they alone, could
bring salvation to the long -suf-
fering masses.
Finally these we'll meaning, but
unrealistic friends of the common
people mired the chariot of de-
mocracy so thoroughly that there
was no other way out but to sur
render the government once more
to the old forces of monarchy.
Fortunately, this time few of
these rules proved to be of suffi-
Gent intelligence to bring about
some of the inevitable reforms and
improvements.
1t was better to compromise
