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...
Because the largest Bucharest hotel, Athenée Palace, has been the political headquarters of the National Peasant Party, it has now been ordered closed by Dictator Carol "for ten years." That the Orthodox Patriarch & Premier is little more than a stooge for His Majesty was evident when it was found that the King's men had arrested, among 1,500 suspects of various sorts, 200 Orthodox priests...
When William S. Hart, aging patriarch of the Westerns, slid wearily from the saddle more than a decade ago, Buck Jones (real name: Charles Gebhart) already had a leg up on his larruping, law-&-order cinema career.

...Bucharest last week the seven-week-old emergency Cabinet, organized by bosky-bearded Patriarch Miron Cristea when King Carol made himself Dictator (TIME, Feb. 21), was quietly reshuffled.

As Stooge No. 1 the 69-year-old Patriarch was again sworn in as Premier...
...American Committee on Rights of Religious Minorities, a 20-year-old body to which belong such people as Nicholas Murray Butler, Herbert Hoover, Senator Arthur Capper, did not forget His Beatitude's words when he became Premier last month (TIME, Feb. 28). To Patriarch Cristea the Committee's Chairman John Howland Lathrop wrote urging that, for the sake of the Christian church throughout the world, he moderate his stand. Last week, to the great surprise and pleasure of Jews in Rumania and abroad, the Patriarch...
