This Changing World
King Mihai of Romania Is Expected
To Vacate Throne Before End of Year

as we'll as tie fact that the cabinet
obeys without question all the orders
given them by Soviet representatives
and completely ignores the king.
Early this month King Mihai ap-
peared before the Romanian parlia-
ment and in a weak voice read the
speech from the throne which was
written In its entirety by the Soviet
embassy. That speech asked for
further measures to fasten Soviet
control on Romania.
Although Mihai accepted the role
of spokesman for the head of the
Moscow MvD Successor to the
NKVD), in the hope that some day
-somehow-things might change,
the Russian government is reported
to have decided that a king in q
Communist community is like fish
out Of water.
Ready to Pack Bags.
Mihai is prepared now to pack
his bags and get out Of the country,
if allowed to do so. OF course, there
is always the possibility of a Com
munist-directed Spontaneous move
ment of the population" which
might prevent his peaceful retire
ment from the country.
Such a movement was afoot in
1916 when Queen Helen, who was
with her son in Bucharest, went to
the American military representa-
tive in that city and asked him
whether he would be willing to shell
ter both her son and herself. She
pleaded for asylum, saying their
lives were In jeopardy.
The Russians decided the time
was not ripe to get rid of Mihai, to
whom the bulk of the Romanian
population still appears to be loyal.
Queen Helen advised the American
representatives that the situation
had improved" and the State De-
partment breathed more easily,
since it did not want to risk sup
porting the enemy Of the Roma
nian people," as Mihai would have
been described in the event Of a
coup d'etat.
Various hints from Premier Groza
indicate that the puppet-monarch
again is in jeopardy. The premier
himself is said to favor allowing
Mihai to abdicate, but he has little
more authority than the king. Mrs.
Anna Pauker, the Romanian-born
Communist agent, who has more
power than the entire cabinet, is
believed to advocate trying Mihai
on q charge Of collaboration with
the Nazis. If her point of view pre-
walls Mihais chances of getting
away are pretty slim, and we might
expect him to share the fate Of the
Bulgarian regent, Prince Cyril, who
was executed in February, 1945.

free hand in the exploitation of the
population. The National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, for one ex-
ample: the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards, for another.
Take of the controls, said the
NAM, and the natural law Of sup
DIV and demand would resolve the
situation to everybody's Satisfaction.
We would have greater production
than we ever had known and COM
petition would keep prices down.
Remove the shackles, said the real
estate operators, and we would soon
have all the homeless housed In
homes they could afford to buy or
at rents they could afford to pay.
The Republican Congress listened
to these siren songs. 1t turned an
atrophied ear to the pleading Of the
administration and to the warning
Of the Economic Advisory Board,
established by Congress itself. It
could not be convinced that the
economic problems of the postwar
period would be rs serious as those
OF wartime and that there was need
to make the transition gradually and
with great care.
In Trouble Ever Since.
The controls came OF and we've
been in trouble ever since, in
economic trouble greater than We
experienced in wartime. Not only
that, but in plain sight there is
greater trouble to come. Unless
something new in history happens
a crash will follow the present, still
mounting imitation.
So, to politics-the first refuge Of
mistaken statesmen.
The President has called q special
session Of Congress to deal with the
price problem and, at the same time,
with the problem of aiding the dem
ocratic countries of Western Europe,
now threatened with economic and
political disaster.
Immediately he is charged, by
responsible spokesmen for the Re-
publican Congress, with playing
politics. That is natural. The first
move in any political contest is to
charge the other side with politics.
Accordingly, Majority House Leader

in that Senator Vandenberg is not
too sturdy and Mrs. Vandenberg Is
really i'll. Should Senator Vanden-
berg positively take himself out OF
the picture, even in his home State,
it may prove easy loot for Gov.
Dewey, who is, after all, q native
son there, too.
The mysterious Gov. Warren, most
closely watched pawn of all, has
given no indication of losing his
hold on California. In the alert
interchange Of grapevine rumors
about possible trades, nobody has
yet uncovered the trail of the bland
Westerner who is in the best trad
ing position Of them all.
No Taft Stassen Deals.
Senator Taft and Harold Stassen,
who both deny any deal despite
recent coziness, are considered by
the professionals to be telling the
absolute truth. Their friendship Is
accounted for on the ground that
1t is to their mutual interest for
each to encourage the other to
keep trying until the first few
critical convention ballots are past.
Republicans returning here scofi
at recent polls indicating that the
Democrats are again pulling into
the lead. This may be overconfl-
dence, but it is entirely sincere.
They entertain no doubt that they
can beat President Truman. Some
aren't sure they can do 1t with
Senator Taft or an avowed con-
servative; many think the party will
come to Gen. Eisenhower in the
end in order to double-rivet with
that magnetic campaigner their VIC
tory. But they are sure of victory
The Democrats answer that such
confidence may well inspire an arro-
gance that will confirm the polls
which they are ready privately to
admit do sound too good to be true.
