...Regency apparently acted in the belief that Peasant Leader Juliu Maniu, who staged gigantic mass demonstrations last spring (TIME, March 26), might attempt a revolution or coup d'état capable of toppling down not only the Tycoon but the Throne.

Very different was a march upon Bucharest last week, staged by 60,000 peaceful peasants. Their revered leader, Dr. Juliu Maniu, threatened no more than that the peasants would wait quietly in the streets for four days, meanwhile petitioning Premier Vintila Bratiano to resign...
