...Soviet Union: "We are convinced of the similarity existing between the Soviet's affirmed policy of peace and the Rumanian policy of independence." Earlier, George Tatarescu, the new pro-Ally Premier, made a bid for democratic sympathy when he promised to lift the hitherto strict Rumanian press censorship by allowing newspapers to give vent to "impartial criticism and the voicing of grievances against the Government...
