And during all this time, concluded Mr. Mille, our brethren in
Transylvania are being exterminated by war while expecting our
intervention. The Government must break its silence, which is becoming
more and more suspicious, and frankly affirm its intention.
RUMANIA'S POLICY.
[From The London Daily Telegraph of Dec. 29, 1914.]
BUCHAREST, Dec. 28.
Today, in the debate on the address in reply to the message from the
throne, the Prime Minister repeated the declaration made in the
Chamber asking the majority to waive discussion and the Opposition to
leave the Government full liberty of action to fulfill its great duty.
The Conservative Party, by the mouth of its chief, expressed its
willingness to do this. M. Disesco, on behalf of the Conservative
Democrats, repeated the declaration made by M. Take Jonesco, in the
Chamber, according to which Rumania ought to abandon her neutral
position and make an immediate alliance with the Triple Entente.
M. Disesco added that the Rumano-Austro-German alliance ceased to
exist from the day when the Crown Council was held at Sinaeia; that
council settled the matter of Rumania's neutrality. The speaker laid
stress on the ingratitude of Austria toward Rumania in 1913, and
alluded to the statements made recently by M. Take Jonesco concerning
the threat of Austria against Rumania in 1913 should that country
attack Bulgaria.
He concluded by observing that the two sections of the Opposition,
Conservative and Conservative-Democrat, had declared for abandonment
of neutrality and an alliance with the Triple Entente, and expressed
the hope that presently this policy will be adopted officially. The
address was afterward agreed to unanimously.
A large number of Senators telegraphed to the President of the
Italo-Rumanian League at Rome expressing their happiness at witnessing
the realization of the league's initiative, and requesting the
President to consider them members of the Rumanian section of the
league, which, being convinced of the profound significance and great
usefulness of closer relations between the two countries, they joined
with enthusiasm.
"LEAGUE OF UNITY."
BUCHAREST, Dec. 27.
At a special session today the League for the National Unity of All
Rumanians acclaimed with grand enthusiasm the new committee, which has
as President the Rev. Father Lucaci, the great propagandist of and
martyr for the Rumanian cause in Transylvania and a member of the
Rumanian National Committee of Hungary. There were also elected MM.
Take Jonesco, Nicolas Filipescu, and Delavrance Gradischteano, all
former Ministers. The committee is charged with the hastening of
action by Rumania for the conquest of the Rumanian provinces of
Austria-Hungary.
RUMANIAN STATISTICS.
[From Le Messager d'Athenes, Nov. 28, 1914.]
According to statistics published in a Rumanian paper, when the
foreign press speaks of Rumanian aspirations it sums up the whole
question in the word Transylvania.
