Increasingly pot-bellied King Carol of Rumania was last week back in Bucharest, his capital, after an eventful visit to Prague where he had discussed future policy towards Russia with Czechoslovakia's pro-French President Eduard Benes. To Prague also went Carol's 15-year-old son, rolypoly Crown Prince Mihai, for King Carol, suspecting that his former wife Princess Helen might return to Rumania in his absence and make trouble, was not taking the risk of leaving Mihai behind. So strongly did he feel about what he considered to be Princess Helen's capacity for mischief...
...Rumanian Carol's visit Czechoslovakian Prague was en fête. Triumphal arches had been erected in the main streets which were decorated with flags and evergreen. Prague's electric works reduced their rates by 35% to insure that the city's illuminations should blaze far into the night. Cardinal Kaspar, head of the Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia, went so far as to permit his Czech flock to eat meat all day Friday. Nothing was lacking to make the reception the sort that Carol most enjoys. There were champagne banquets, boy scouts, a gala opera, hordes...

...equips hirr also with the backing of Adolf Hitler. He stands for a Rumania lukewarm to France and ardently Fascist. Few weeks ago he was received by Der Führer, hurried from Germany to the Royal Palace in Bucharest with a "personal message" from Herr Hitler to Carol of Hohenzollern. Few days afterward Rumanian Premier George Tatarescu "reconstructed"' his Cabinet to leave out Titulescu. No European statesman doubted last week that this marked a great shift in the Continent's balance of power, a drawing of Rumania away from France and a tendency toward reorientation...
...matters of high policy and everyone gave new Rumanian Foreign Minister Victor Antonescu full credit for lying like a diplomat when he announced: "I retain complete confidence in the statesmanship of France, and I intend to retain cultural relations with Rus-sia." It would surprise no Rumanian if King Carol should break off with Joseph Stalin the diplomatic relations established between Russia and Rumania by M. Titulescu. With Nazi influence mounting at Bucharest the Jewish mistress of the King, red-haired Magda Lupescu, found her position last week greatly altered for the worse. His Majesty still looks...
