Calinescu's Assassination Threatens Neutrality Balance of Balkans
A I . “ _ " “‘ --—— —
Small Nations Fear
Trouble at Sign of
Rumanian Weakness
Turkey and Yugoslavia
Express Dismay at News
Of Premier's Slaying
By the Associated Press.
BUDAPEST. Sept. 22.—The as
sassination of Rumania's premier,
Armand Calinescu, by pro-Nazi ex
tremists, threatened today to push
all of Southeastern Europe off a
delicate balance between peace and
chaos.
Dismay and consternation were
the immediate reaction in the capi
tals of Turkey, Greece and Yugo
slavia, where Premier Cahnescu was
regarded as a strong friend.
The first comment in Bulgarian
and Hungarian political circles was
“Rumania depended more on Cali
nescu than on any other man ex
cept King Carol."
All the Balkans knew Premier
Calinescu was waging a grim game
of diplomacy to save his country’s
frontiers from a possible "undeclared
invasion" as his Polish allies fell
under the twin onslaught of Russia
and Germany. Neutrality was Pre
mier Calinescu's best card.
Trumped With Bullets.
Today the question was whether
the Iron Guard, an organization
with long-acknowledged Nazi lean
ings. had trumped it with bullets.
Diplomats said no country at the
moment at peace with the entire
world was in a more precarious po
sition than Rumania. On the north
and east, Soviet Russia, which never
had been reconciled to the loss ot
Bessarabia to Rumania in settle
ments after the World War, now
holds a border with Rumania from
the Black Sea to the easternmost
tip of Hungary.
Although a Bucharest communique
declared no foreign complications
were expected from Premier Cali
nescu's slaying, diplomats pointed
out another communique said
Georse Dumitrescu. new head of the
Iron Guard charged by the govern
ment with organizing the assassi
nation plot, had returned to Bu
charest six weeks ago “from the
Ukraine.”
German Nazi-ism—inspiration of
the Iron Guard movement—has been
aggressive since the start of the
Polish war. The Germans have
been pression for Rumanian oil for
the Reich's motorized army and Ru
manian wheat for the Reich's vast
industrial population.
Calineseu Was Key.
In resisting exploitation of his
country's resources by any foreign
power which might seek to use the
advantage for political profit, Pre
mier Calineseu was a key man.
Diplomats had believed that a
peaceful, productive Rumania would
be to war-pressed Germany's advan
tage. The sudden Russian occupa
tion of the common Polish-Ru
manian frontier ahead of advancing
German columns deprived Germany
of more than verbal pressure from
that quarter, the diplomats had con
jectured.
There have been many indications
that Germany has been displeased
with Rumania’s “lack of co-opera
tion" in facilitating exports to the
Reich.
Diplomats assert Germany fre
quently made use of Bulgaria and
Hungary, both of which claim pre
World War territory from Rumania,
to “persuade" the Bucharest govern
ment to make a show of appeasing
German economic demands. That
appeasement has not gone far
enough has been apparent from re
ports of recurrent German-Ru
manian consultations on trade.
Bulgaria's pet dream is to regain
Dobruja. Hungarian revision centers
on Transylvania.
The slightest appearance of weak
ness in the Rumanian government—
especially if accompanied by sus
picion that it originated from Ger
man-Soviet pressure — might be
taken as a signal by any neighbor
ing power for "territorial adjust
ments,” diplomats said.
As minister of the interior until
1ft pf Kffo vftVt ti Hft Viftftn win T
mier on the death of Dr. Miron
Cristea. Premier Calinescu frequent
ly was criticized in Bulgarian and
Hungarian circles for what they said
were stern measures in regulating
their national minorities in Ru
mania.
Started Defense Line.
Because Hungarian feeling al
ways was so high over disputes af
fecting 1.500.000 Hungarians in
Transylvania, Premier Calinescu
started a semi-Maginot Line of forti
fications along the Hungarian fron
tier this summer.
Hungary, like Rumania itself, has
been trying to avoid entanglement
in the war over Poland. But the
Transylvanian problem still re
main unsettled. Like Bessarabia and
Dobruja, it is a potential battle
spark.
Partly as a result of Premier
Calinescu's diplomacy, Rumania re
mains tied with Turkey, Greece and
Yugoslavia in the Balkan entente.
But Yugoslavia's friendship with
Bulgaria now is generally considered
even stronger than her Rumanian
bonds, and it is considered prob
lematical among some diplomats
how much help Turkey and Greece
could or would give Rumania if it
came to a showdown.
In the last analysis, diplomats say
Rumania's fate depends on Russia
and Germany. If either marches
against Rumania then Bulgaria and
Hungary are likely to follow.
The inner collapse of Rumania
might well be the signal to swing
the war of the great powers into the
Balkans.

shortly after 3:30 o'clock and re
ceived Senators Barkley and Minton
of Indiana and Senator Byrnes,
Democrat, of South Carolina shortly
afterward. All are committed to
the administration proposals.
That the opposition, voluble for!
weeks, will be a compact fighting!
group was assured during the after- j
noon also as 24 Senators gathered
in the office of Senator Johnson,
Republican, of California, to chart
their campaign against repeal of the
embargo. Including 15 Republicans.
6 Democrats. 2 Farmer-Laborites
and the lone Senate Progressive, the
group selected the veteran Cali
fornian as their leader.
As chief policy man they chose
Senator Borah, Idaho Republican,!
another veteran of the 20-year fight
for American isolation from Eu
rope's quarrels. Senator Clark, Demo
crat, of Missouri was intrusted with j
principal responsibility for parlia
mentary tactics, and Senators Li
Follette. Progressive, of Wisconsin,
and Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, were added to form a rela
tively small strategy committee.
May Stump Country.
Planning not only ‘‘thorough de
bate” in the Senate, the group was
understood to have deciaea on a
series of speaking engagements
throughout the country. Pressure
on members of Congress by both
sides has been considerable and
steadily increasing as constituents
write and wire their views.
One member of the newly formed
opposition bloc, Senator McCarran,
Democrat, of Nevada predicted at
least 35 votes are assured against
embargo repeal and that more are
expected as debate continues.
For their cause, an administration
trio on the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, Senators Pittman. Thomas
of Utah and Connally of Texas un
dertook preparation of a bill which
would provide repeal of the embargo
and inclusion of the six points ac
ceptable to the President. In general,
such a measure already is before the
committee under the name of Chair
man Pittman. With revisions, it is
expected it will be substituted for
the Bloom bill passed by the House
before the adjournment, this pro
cedure being calculated to speed the
course of the legislation.
Six Points Involved.
The six points involved embrace
the “ cash and carry" system re
quiring belligerents to pay cash here
1 for all commodities and take them
, away in their own ships; restrict
American merchant vessels entering
war zones, prevent American citizens
from traveling on belligerent ships,
bar war credits to warring nations,
regulate collection of funds in the
United States for belligerents and
| maintain a licensing system for arms
! transactions.
Although making it clear in his
address yesterday that he favors
I flexibility in any statutory regula
1 tion on these six propositions, Mr.
Roosevelt acknowledged that "Con
gress should make its own choice
of the method * * * so long as the
method chosen will meet the needs
of new and changing day-to-day
situations and dangers.”
It was on the question of repeal
of the embargo that he was most
vehement and exacting.
“I seek a greater consistency
| through the repeal of the embargo
provisions and a return to interna
tional law,” the President told the
Congress solemnly. “I seek re
enactment of the historic and tradi
tional American policy which, ex
cept for the disastrous Interlude of
the embargo and non-intercourse
acts, has served us well for nearly
a century and a half.”

This Changing
Calinescu Assassination
Will Start Nazi-Soviet F
By CONSTANTINE BROWN.
Rumania is waiting breathlessly
for the “next thing to happen.”
From the latest reports from
various European capitals it appears
the assassination of Rumania's
strong man. Premier Calinescu, was
not so much an act of revenge on
the part of the followers of Codreanu
as a possible diplomatic pretext for
Russia and Germany to intervene
in the country’s internal affairs.
* * * *
These reports indicate that the
ring leaders of the plot had been
in close touch with the German and
the Russian authorities across the
border. It is now fully expected in
diplomatic circles that either
Moscow or Berlin or both will once
more say as they did in Poland,
that because of chaotic conditions
in Rumania they are forced to send
troops to protect their minorities
from the tyranny of King Carol and
his militaristic government.
There are in Rumania some 700,
000 Germans; that is to say indivi
duals of Saxon origin who have
lived in Transylvania for something
like six centuries. There are also
some 150.000 Russians who lived in
Bessarabia at the time of the re
annexation of that country by Ru
mania in 1918. These minorities
are more than ample to provide an
excuse for the Russian and German
governments to send troops into
Rumania.
* * * *
All reports from the Reich indi
! cate that Hitler's heir to the throne.
Field Marshal Hermann Goering,
wants to get the whole Danubian
Basin into the Reich's fold.
It now looks to the German lead
ers as if this is going to be a very
long war—longer than even the Brit
ish and the French think.
From the military point of view
the Germans have succeeded in do
ing away—for the time being at
least—with the eastern front. They
are concentrating their forces on
the Maginot Line.
But there they are up against the
same proposition the allies encoun
tered when the war started. The
Germans cannot break through the
Maginot Line any more than the
French and the British can break
through the Siegfried Line. It is
quite conceivable that Hitler will be
more prepared than the allies to
! jeopardize the lives of half a million
or more of his soldiers. But it is
doubtful whether he will succeed
even then. It is recalled that at
Verdun, which was just a sand
fortress, compared with the present
Maginot fortifications, Germany had
several hundred thousand casualties
and did not get through.
What the cost of breaking the
Maginot Line would be is too ter
rific even to estimate.
The attack through Belgium or
Holland is not child’s play, either.
The Dutch have an army of some
500.000 men—all stubborn, sturdy
soldiers—and can open up the dykes
against any invading army. This
would render the German mechan
ized forces powerless. An attack
against Switzerland is an impos
sibility. The only way to get suc
cessfully at the allies would be
through Italy and Mussolini is still
neutral.
* * * *
Under the circumstances it ap
pears to many Germans that this
is going to be a war of attrition: a
war of nerves, where the men with
the most stamina will eventually
win.
■ But in order to have that stamina
World
Believed a Pretext That
orces Into Rumania
l it is important that the body should
be well fed; the tanks and the air
planes should not be lacking in gas
and oil and the population behind
the lines should be kept contented
not only by general staff com
muniques, but also by having enough
of everything.
The high seas are closed to Ger
many and will remain closed for
the duration of the war. But the
Danubian states—Rumania, Yugo
slavia, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey
—can all provide the Reich with
most of the needed raw materials.
They will obey blindly orders from
Berlin as long as their governments
are in Berlin's hand.
The conquest of Poland and the
German-Russian co-operation has
had a devastating effect on those
nations. But that is not enough
Impressions, such as created by the
success of the German armies in
Poland, wear off after a while,
especially if failures occur on the
western front.
Hungary and Bulgaria can be got
ten into the Reich's fold by carving
up Rumania and throwing a few
bones to the Hungarians and the
Bulgarians.
Yugoslavia is cowed. Rumania
however, may be more troublesome
as long as Carol remains on the
throne and has a government whic i
obeys him rather than Berlin. And
that is what he has now. If Ru
mania can be reduced in size, Carol
and his followers kicked out of the
country or put in concentratior
camps, the entire output of Ru
manian oil and other impoilant rat*
materials can be sent to Berlin
And this is why in London anc
1 Paris it is firmly believed that wit.h
i in the next few weeks Rumania will
be invaded by German and Russiar
; forces.

—French Army units—striking a

have occupied more than 80 German
towns and villages in the Saar-Mo

French pressure along the Moselle

followed a lull described as “stra

sides jockeyed for positions of ad

A
Congress Line-up on Neutrality
Little Affected by Message
Comment Indicates Few Will Alter Stand;
Foes of Change Say Arguments Are Old
By tbe Associated Press.
Few, if any, members of Congress
indicated today that President
Roosevelt’s personally-delivered mes
sage had changed their v?:ws on the
neutrality issue.
Supporters of the proposals to re
peal the embargo set forth by the
Chief Executive, regardless of party
lines, lauded the presidential mes
sage as the best way to secure peace.
Those opposing any change in neu
trality legislation viewed the mes
sage as a repetition of old argu
ments.
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
said the message portrayed “our in
ternational situation in this great
emergency” in a manner to assure
prompt “consideration to his sound
recommendations.”
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, aleader of the opposition
bloc, termed the message “a miser
able failure’’ if intended to “demon
strate the need for repeal of the
arms embargo.”
Another member of this group,
Senator Lundeen, Farmer-Labor, of
Minnesota said the Roosevelt pro
posals were the “road to war.”
Many Take Opposing View.
Many lawmakers took, an opposite
view, terming the proposals steps to
assure peace.
The veteran Senator Glass, Demo
crat, of Virginia, who has differed
sharply with Mr. Roosevelt on many
domestic issues, termed the Presi
dent’s arguments “very conclusive.’
Senator Austin of Vermont, as
sistant Republican leader, found
himself “very much in agreement.’
Senator Austin has announced sup
port for the administration program
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir
ginia said he believed the “strictest
sort of cash-and-carry” neutrality
vigorously enforced, was America’s
best safeguard for peace.
Many More Firm in Views.
On the other side, Democratic
Senators McCarran of Nevada anc
Holt of West Virginia said the presi
dential message convinced them ol
their previous opposition views.
“Give me the power and go home,’
Senator Holt suggested as a briel
summary of the presidential appeal
Senator Byrnes. Democrat, ol
i South Carolina, selected to help lead
! the administration in the Senate
said Mr. Roosevelt had demon
strated he “is the leader of the peace
bloc in this country.”
Similar comment came from
Democratic House leaders. Speaker
Bankhead and Majority Leader Ray
burn said Mr. Roosevelt spoke for
the vast majority of citizens.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan criticized the proposed
return to international law as the
“precise code that got us into the
last war.”
McNary Urges Consideration.
Senator McNary of Oregon, the
minority leader, said "the President
stated his position with clarity and
force, and his message is entitled
to the respectful consideration of the
Congress.”
Sharpest criticism came from
House members who have previously
differed with the President.
Representative Short, Republican,
of Missouri charged the President
“is willing to take blood money” to
provide employment through arms
and munitions manufacture.
Representative Vorys, Republican,
of Ohio, author of the administra
tion-opposed amendment included in
the neutrality bill passed by the
House last session, said there was
“nothing new” in the mesasge.
Representative Fish, Republican,
of New York, who represents Mr.
Roosevelt's congressional district
said he was amazed at proposals "for
war profit and blood money.”
Chairman Sumners of the House
Judiciary Committee described the
Roosevelt proposals as "the safest
j course” among war risks.
May Predicts Enactment.
Chairman May of the House Mili
tary Affairs Committee said the
message "will change the opinions
of the public” and predicted “speedy
enactment” of the program.
Support of the President's position
I by Republicans was not limited to
some of those in Congress. Col.
Frank Knox, 1936 vice presidential
nominee, said "the proposals he
: made are sound and I agree with
them entirely.”
Federal Security Administrator
Paul V. McNutt said “I am in hearty
accord.”
