That same day Foreign Secre-
tary Eden said Britain had con-
Cured in the terms before they
were offered.
The kings proclamation indi.
Gated the terms offered Romania
were help in routing the German
forces from inside her borders
and recovery of Pennsylvania
from Hungary, which was given
the province by Hitler in the Vi.
emma award of August, 1910.
The United Nations have recog.
nized the injustice of the dictate
OF Vienna, under which T-ansyl-
vania was torn from u.s." the king
said. "At the side Of the Allied
army and with their help we will
cross the frontiers unjustly i'm.
posed upon US at Vienna"
Interpretation in London Of this
phase of the kings proclamation
was that Romania would not be
accepted as an ally, but as a CO.
belligerent in the category Of Italy.
Part of the surprise in Romania 8
decision was that she beat Bull
garia to a withdrawal from the
war.
Bulgaria first to quit Germany's
lineup in the first world war, has
been reported on the verge of a
break with the Nazis for a week,
but only Tuesday night her foreign
minister, Parvan D-aganov, ap-
peared before the Bulgarian parlia-
ment and refused to take the
plunge.
Romania's decision was bound
to have a profound influence on
other Balkan satellites in addition
to Immediately depriving. Ger
many of the use of the rich Ro-
manian oil fields.
Romania joined the Axis in No.
vember, 1910, and followed Ger.
many into war against Russia on
June %, 1871. Six months later
she entered state of war with
the United States and Britain.
Her collaboration with Ger
many - and the contribution Of
hundreds of thousands of troops
in the fight against Russia--was
under the hand of Dictator Mar
shall Ion Antonescu.
His fate is now undisclosed, but
his government passed into the
hands of new premier, Konstan.
tin Sanatescu. The Bucharest radio
said the foreign minister of the
new cabinet was G-igore Nicu-
lescu-Buzesti and that cabinet
posts had been given to George
Bratianu and Juliu Manu-.
Aside from evading the Bed
armies sweeping from the north
and east, Romania's greatest stake
in swinging over to the Allies at
this time was the return of Tran
sy1vania to Hungary, Romania had
lost Bessarabia and parts of Buco-
vina and Moldavia to Russia
through Soviet ultimatum agreed
to by Hitler.
These losses of territory led to
the abdication of King Carol and
the browning of the youthful Mi
hal, his son.
The Romania army suffered
heavily at Stalingrad in 1912 and
again in the Crimea this spring
when the Germans were reported
to have left several Romanian di.
visions unsupported in the siege
of Sevastopol, where they were
hammered to bits.
The kings proclamation indicat-
ed that the Romanian a-my's
fighting now would be primarily
aimed at forcing the Hungarians
out of Pennsylvania, but any such
action obviously would be blow
of direct bearing against Ger
many and on the side Of the United
Nations.

The security plank In the Repub-
lican platform was written by Sen
ator Robert Taft who is a student
of this problem. Its very first words
esta blish the goal which is Ito pre-
vent hardship and poverty In Amer
lea" The plank then promises TO
apply existing old age and unem-
ployment insurance TO all TO whom
IL does not now apply, but insists
upon the return OF the public en-
ployment system to the states, with
some federal aid, referring to fed
eral.state health programs, the plat.
form says:
The continuation OF these and
other programs relating TO health,
and the stimulation by federal aid
OF state plans to make medical and
hospital service available to those
in need without disturbing doctor
patient relationships or socializing
medicine"
In this plank lies a fundamental
conflict between the Republicans
and the New Deal. The Republicans
do not believe that IL is necessary

there is a rat in II. Most Americans
can and do provide for themselves
and want nobody's aid. We are an
independent, selt-reliant people who
freely gite but abhor accepting
charity. and although the New Deal
has sugar-coated much that used
to be called charity, by calling it
human right, the fact remains that
1t Is a hand-out, and, as a people,
we don't like it.
But there is comparatively
small number OF Americans whom
we shall have TO help. Let us put 1t
at a territically high figure and say
that 10 per cent OF the American
people will need help. II must be
provided and under our system, II Is

mony with American practices than

Europe, has acknowledged that
enormous courage and strength Of
nerves are necessary to stand up

announced today. The address, d.
rected to the Reich's chiefs OF war
production, broke a silence that had
lasted since Janu ry 80 when the
German leader warned his bomb
groggy people that they faced the
hardest task imaginable' during
the current year.
