What's Happening in Romania?

had given sanctuary to Radescu because
there IS no evidence that he has been per-
sonally involved in anti-Allied activities.
Nothing has been said about what
happened to Manu-, who has been the
champion OF the peasants, and staunch
battler for their rights for years.
EDEN, in his statement today, said
IL that notes on the Romanian situation
are being exchanged between the Soviet,
the United States and Great Britain. The
British foreign minister, not anxious to
preJudlce the discussions, says the new
government was set up because the Soviet
felt the situation under Radescu could
mot be tolerated" Radescu, he says, was
not able to maintain order, and it was
charged that he was not able to curb
pro-Hitler and pro-Fascist disorders.
You also heard yesterday, no doubt,
that pennsylvania, over which Hungary
and Romania have fought for years-an
area like east Poland, which includes peo-
pie OF both nationalities-has been turned
over to Romania. This occurred after
the new government took over, and may
thus be considered as effected at this
time as a means of increasing their pres
tige, since the Romanian people are natu-
rally exuberant over gaining Transyl-
vania.
The situation is one about which we
should know more, because it can affect
the future Of Europe, especially the Bal
kans, and the future of international
relations as WELL The Soviet action may
be justified, or it may not be fair to the
Romanian people who have not yet been
able to elect their own government be-
cause they are in a war area. We should
have the means of knowing. American
correspondents must be permitted to re-
turn to Romania. Until independent cor
respondents can report at frst-hand, the
situation is bound to remain at least
suspicious.
IN THE meantime, it is good to hear
1 from Eden that we are making diplo-
matte representations. AS result of the
Yalta conference, the United States is of
ficially aligned with Russia and Britain
In three-power policy in connection with
the former Axis satellite states of Eu-
rope" and Romania is one of those
countries
We, as we'll as Russia and Britain, are
pledged to help the people of these coun-
tries create democratic institutions of
their own choosing" under conditions Of
internal peace"-Im quoting the confer
ence statement. This means that we must
have part in any decisions, and that we
cannot recognize any government that
results from force. Maybe the Radescu
government was unable to maintain order
and therefore should have been replaced
by the Groza one. Maybe it was over
thrown by plotted demonstrations.
For the people of Romania and of the
Yorld, we need the truth.
EDITORS NOTE-Since this broad
cast the American government has asked
Russia to consult Nth the United States
and Britain on the status of Romdntd
under the Yalta agreement bm an ASso-
cidted Press dispatch from Bucharest on

ernment appeared to be firmly in the
