Details of ReoIignment
Discussed in Rome

ROME, July 27 P).-Completing
the axis circuit, Rumania's Premier
and Foreign Minister came to Rome
today and talked over details of
a Balkan territorial realignment
which, it was reported by usually
well-informed source, will give parts
of their country to both Hungary
and Bulgaria.
This source said there was virtual
agreement that Rumania will yield
some of the province of Transyl-
vania to Hungary and some of Do
bruja to Bulgaria, their former
owners, and that there probably
will be an exchange of minority
populations.
Others in touch with Balkan capi-
tails predicted that what remains
of Rumania, in turn, would get a
German-Italian guarantee of pro-
lection from Soviet Russia, which
already has taken back its former
province of Bessarabia.
The Rumanians came here fresh
from conversations with Adolf Hit
Ter. and they received pointers from
Premier Mussolini today on the part
their nation will be expected to play
in the new Europe planned by
the axis if Germany and Italy beat
England.
Coincidentally, the Fascist press
declared that Britain herself would
have to fall in line politically with
the axis dominated scheme.
There was speculation in Ru-
manian circles on the possibility
Rumania may show her neW-found
pro-axis friendship by inviting Ital-
ian and German specialists to take
charge of her oil fields.
Such a gesture, it was explained,
might discourage any possible So
Wet designs on the rich producing
areas from which the British and
French are being ousted.
A hint as to what II Duce told
Rumanian Premier Ion Gigurtu and
Foreign Minister Mihail Manoilescu
was given by the newspaper La
Tribuna, which said Italy and Ger
many would expect Rumania to
settle peacefully her territorial and
other quarrels with her neighbors.
The meeting was believed also to
have touched upon Italys share of
Rumanian oil.
Superior continental interests

Rumania and Bulgaria to compose
their differences with a spirit of
justice which takes into account

for fruitful collaboration in the fu-
ture,' the newspaper asserted.
Collapse of French British inf1u-
ence in the Balkans and the Dan
ublan area was cited.
The authoritative commentary
Relazione Internationale declared
England would have to adjust her
political regime to the new Euro
pean scheme.
Until Great Britain has new
leaders, and no less a new regime
its place in Europe is nothing" it
said.
Virginio Gayda, who often re-
fleets Mussolinis views, stressed in
an article in II Giornale dItalia the
Importance of economic adjust
ments to be made in postwar Eu-
rope.
He forecast "a controlled economy
no longer based on individual terri
tories but a vaster European area" "

now possesses.
The size of the territories to be
ceded must be decided between the

Moreover, Hitler is represented as
having expressed a desire that .2u-
mania, Hungary and Bulgaria adopt
close relations, perhaps even mill
tary accords.
Despite Germany's obvious guar
antee of Rumania's good faith,
Hungary, officials declared, will re-
main on a war footing until the
demands are satisfied
That Rumania will attempt to
postpone territorial cession until
the end of the war was seen in a
government radio declaration that
immediate return of land to Hun
gary and Bulgaria is impossible.

Military Conscription
Age Urged at 2lto 81

Chalmers Seymour Mcconnell,
past president of the District So

Mr.. Mcconnell, in letters to COM

There's a guy 40 years old-an
