Rumanian Government ROBBERY

LONDON, Feb. 12 (British Wireless).Replying to a ques tion in the House of Commons whether he could make any state- mont of reasons for the withdrawal of H. M. Minister and staff from Bucharest, Mr Anthony Eden, the Foreign Sccrütnry, said: "Perhaps I may best answer that question by quoting from the text of a note addressed on my instructions by H. M. Minister at Bucharest to the head of the Rumanlan Government.

Avoiding

Inflation

LONDON, Feb. 12 (Reuter)—The Government adheres to a policy of avoiding inflation by every conceivable means in our power," said the Lord Chancellor, Lord Simon, in the House of Lords to-day, and he suggested that concern on this point was brought about by exaggerated orill-founded arguments.

Lord Balfour of Burleigh said that he was afraid that the vicious spiral of inflation was already in operation and that a figure of interest in this matter. was the gap between expendi ture and revenue which he com- puted at about £000,000,000.

A particularly daring robbery was effected early his morning when a thier either climbed a drain pipe more than 60 feet high, or clambered on to a roof and then made a 10-foot leap, afterwards forcing his way through a window of the top floor of No. 27c Nathan Road, and atole $114 in cash from wallets belonging to Mesars P. J. Pine and Okenfull of the Hongkong Naval Dockyard.

When the victims of the intruder awoke this morning they found that from their wallets had been tracted. The daring of the thief is illustrated by the fact that his only entry into the room was through a window to reach which he had either to climb a drain pipe nearly 70 feet from the round, or allernatively to clamber on to an adjoining roof and then

The Ministry denies the Ger- man disclaimer, pointing out that The Hague Regulations of 1907 provide that "after legal nuthority has actually passed into the hands of those occupy ing the country, the latter are
