LADY HAIG AND HE BEST MEMORIAL

Lady Haig at the cog session of the British Legio Fonference at Scarborough how her great sympathy with the unemployed ex- Service man.

A resolution was submitted claim. One reason advanced by non-ing that the best tribute the Legion critical friends of Rumania why could pay to the memory of its late her shortcomings should be regard-president, Earl Haig would be in ed tolerantly by the rest of Europe the substitution of work for relief, is her value as a bulwark against and urging the council to call an Bolshevism. They point to Bessara all'area councils to submit schemes bia and declare that but for the for vigilant eye of Bucarest, the army of Soviet Russia would speedily overrun the province and thus be come a direct menace to the neigh-consideration to ex-Service mén. bouring Powers.

This sounds reassuring, but the argument is not generally accepted. Grave doubts have been expressed to me of Rumania's ability to hold Bessarabia against a determined Russian advance. Some experts who have studied the situation care- fully even go so far as to assert this if Russia attempted to recover her old territory she would not meet with serious opposition. The Rumanian garrisons are not fit to undertake a strong defensive, and they would in all probability retire to the original frontier.

For The Men Who Fought. Lady Haig, who was received with great cheering, spoke in sup- port of the resolution. She said:

I am very thankful for being given a chance of saying what know my husband would wish as a memorial to him. He would not wish gatue. He would not wish. anything except to help the men who fought and wou the war.

He always felt that money should only be spent on helping anemployed ex-Service men, and he would-be proud to see you working for them at this meeting to-day.

A sudden move by Russia might Ball bring chout the collapse of the new kingdom through its refusal to admit the injustice done to a strong. Hungarian minority by the main tenance of an illogical and wholly impossible frontier on the west Only by rectifying this frontier in accordance with the racial and economic claims of the minority can the Bucarest Government hope to secure the loyal support of Transyl vania in the event of an attack on her new eastern province.

The politicinna talk glibly of Bessarabia as Rumania, whereas two million inhabitants out of the total population of three million are not Rumanian at all but Mol davian. From the beginning of their involuntary inclusion in the kingdom they have been even less in sympathy with the spirit of Bucarest than that portion of the Transylvania which calls itself Kumanian.

MISS CLADYS COOPER.

RUMOUR ABOUT SIR N. PEAR SON TRUE-AFTER ALL!

LONDON, June 15th. Miss Gladys Cooper and Sir Neville Pearson, Bt., were married to day at the Registry Office at Dorking.

The bride and bridegroom, äɛram- bled over a garden fence surround- ing the building to avoid the crowds, which had gathered.

A decree nisi was made absolute on June 11th against Sir Neville's first wife, formerly Miss Mary Mond. The latter was quietly re married in London yesterday to Mr. C. W. Hordern, the son of an ex-Indian Civil Servant.

"

Bessarabia's principal exports, which include timber and cereals, have no outlet to the Black Sea ports. Her merchants and traders feel that they are being unjustly discriminated against. Russia has been quick to see the propaganda value of their discontent and the usual alluring promises. have been made to induce the population to turn again in her direction.

Under Martial Law.

They would

end to Rumanian rule with pleasure, but the present alternative is worse, lor they are not Bolshevik in sentiment. Very little is known of present Russia's aim is the creation of a Moldavian, Soviet State, but her conditions in the province. Martial propagandista have had but little law is in force and travellers are success. What Bessarabia wants is not encouraged to wander about a Government of its own. Under freely.

been ruthlessly suppressed. 1928. But this was revoked when the Liberals returned to power. A High Commissioner sent from Bucarest displaced the local officials with the usual horde of party ap pointers from the old kingdom, and the old abuses drept back again.

Must Buy, But Cannot Bell. Another cause of resentment, is the economic policy which, as in Transylvania, discriminates unfair ly in favour of the old kingdom. Bessarabia must buy in Humaniza markets, but she has difficulty in selling her own products on equal terms. Her wines are better than Rumanian wines, but restrictions are placed on their sale. She needs such articles as leather, agricul- tural implements, and clothing which formerly came from British managed mille and factories in db Donett basin.

Now that Russian markets are closed, all supplies must come from Bucarest Prices are almost pro- hibitive, and the cost of living is now as high as in the capital.
