Return. But the Bratianus were slipping. Post-War land reforms gave the peasants thousands of acres. After Versailles, democracy was on the wax in Europe and, notwithstanding Rumania's notorious balloting methods, a peasant leader named Juliu Maniu eventually won the premiership in 1929. When his reforms were further blocked by the Bratianu court clique, he conceived a plan to dethrone Mihai, crown Carol and get rid of Dowager Queen Marie and Prince Stirbey for good...
Against this is the National Peasant Party of idealistic Professor Juliu Maniu. One of his leading associates, Charles A. Davila, who was Rumanian Minister to the U. S. for eight years ending last December, burst out last week in Manhattan. Mr. Davila accused the present Rumanian Premier, the Orthodox Patriarch Miron Cristea, of being at heart just as anti-Semitic as the squelched Iron Guard, with the only difference that he consents to act as puppet for Carol II. The National Peasant Party, Mr. Davila declared, is "backed by the overwhelming majority of the people against the Court camarilla...
Earlier in the week Rumania's great peasant leader, Dr. Juliu Maniu, had given fair warning that he would orate upon royal sin in the Chamber of Deputies.

Six years ago Dr. Maniu led a mass peasant march on Bucharest (TIME, March 26. 1926). and became Premier of Rumania's first "Reform Cabinet." Last week he threatened similar tactics if the King's mistress is not expelled...
Last week Bucharest's royal fop played the King more boldly than British George V (who despises him) would ever dare to do. In brief the Cabinet of peasant-born Premier Juliu Maniu "advised" His Majesty to dismiss from their jobs two of his special favorites, Col. Marinescu, Chief of Bucharest Police, and General Dumitrescu, Chief of Rumania's Gendarmerie. Instead of taking his Cabinet's advice, as George V would be bound to do, Carol II took his stand on Rumania's old-fashioned Constitution which gives the King broad powers, defied Premier Maniu...
