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...

...antiSemitic, he is a good friend of Jewess Lupescu; although a Fascist, a bitter enemy of Iron Guardsman Codreanu. In jig time last week he whipped a Cabinet together which contained three members of the National Peasant Party. These were promptly denounced as turncoats and Judases by Peasant Leader Maniu but remained silent on their dignity. Quickly Octavian Goga hustled the whole Cabinet to the palace to take the oath of office before their King. Said King Carol...
