The new Rumanian Government was sworn in by
King Carol yesterday evening. Addressing the new Cabinet the King began by describing the pre- sent situation as the most momentous in the history of the Rumanian people. He then turned to those members of the new Cabinet who had served as Prime Ministers in former Governments and thanked them for responding to a sense of duty and patriotism by proferring their services at this critical moment, when Rumania was entering upon a new phase in its history with full determination to correct errors of the past. He felt certain of being able to place complete reliance in his new Ministers.
