His Majesty paused to show approximately where he stands on Rumania's vexed Jewish question (TIME, Jan. 31, et ante). The new Constitution, it was announced, would give "equality before the law" to all ethnically pure Rumanians and also to "all people of other races who have lived for centuries on Rumanian soil," thus continuing the distinction made by Jew-baiting former Premier Goga between...
