After a visit to quaint old Cracow, M. Delbos said good-by to Polish hospitality and hurried on to Rumania. In Bucharest, he was feted by hard-boiled King Carol and harder-boiled Premier George Tatarescu, who took time out from their labors in preparing to strong...

Later, stopping at the Ritz in London, he had long talks with pro-French British bigwigs such as Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, Sir Robert Vansittart, Winston Churchill and Lloyd George. Last week, 5,000 Rumanians jampacked Bucharest's dingy railway station, flaunted banners reading "Long Live Titulescu...
