HATE

GROWS IN A

TORTURED COUNTRY

The apparently suicidal

a growing shortage of

road which Rumania has A Picture of necessities of life. On top

taken has two main causes, her geographical position between Germany and Russia, and the extra- ordinary ignorance of Rumanian public opinion. Long before the Germans took physical control, their pressure by threats had produced such a censor- ship that the country had very little idea not only of what was going on in the outside world but of what even its own leaders were

doing. The Rumanian broadcasts from London were, and still are, about the only source of authen- tic news.

The appalling political massacre which has taken place recently shows the influence which Nazi methods have had on this tortured country and the lack of any real control of the violent elements in it.

Those men who were kill- ed were many of them men who knew too much about the Germans' plans.

The events in Rumania which have followed the Germans' loud declama- tions about the benefits of their new order" in -South-East-Europe, have

Rumania To-day

by

Donald J. Hall

(noted expert on Rumania and author of many books on that

country)

provided the most striking example of just what that "new order" brings. What- ever the mistakes made by Rumania's politicians in the past, and the corrup- tion that has been ramp- ant for years, it is fair to. say that Rumania has been remarkably self-con- tained and contented.

Nazi Germany has changed all that. It has seized half of Transyl- vania, the precious pro- vince regarded by the Rumanians as the cradle of their people, it is strip- ping the land of food sup- plies, so that there, where there has always been such an abundance as to make the traveller think he had come to a land of milk and honey, there is

of this, the legal system of the "new order" has come into force the seizure of property without just cause, the execution of men without trial, and all- the horrors of the Gestapo.

But in Rumania, as everywhere, is increasing evidence that this "new order" is going to be one of the most important factors in destroying Nazi Germany. Already the confusion which has re-

sulted from German in-

trigue is producing that dislocation of business and traffic which is most up- setting for the Germans.

The fear of Germany is growing steadily in all classes to bitter hatred. The magnificent fight which the Greeks are mak-. ing, the reports of British successes which are filter- ing through, help to en- courage the suffering Ru- manians.

There may not be much that they can do openly as yet, but from my know- ledge of Rumania I am

sure that the German oc- cupation is going to be made increasingly uncom- fortable.

was rather shocking. therefore, to see a drummer

with a glum face, sitting by the stove in the hut where wo were rehearsing for the Camp Concert.

Behind him, two drummers one with a cut knuckle, the other with a swollen lip-were indulging in sarcastic com- mentary.

"Curly's in love!" "That's it. Curly's in love with a Naffy girl."

Curly said nothing. He shrugged his shoulders and stared at the stove.

IT was obvious that Bears-

breath, also, knew the meaning of gloom; of the peculiar, brief, sudden gloom of the soldier, who, committed to the Army for many long, years, occasionally thinks of soft beds, and white table- cloths.

He took his pipe out of his mouth, and said: "Sup, son? Browned orf?" Carly did not

answer.

"Lost yer tongue, son?” "No," said Curly.

Then wassup?" "Nothing." "How old are ya, son?" "Sixteen,"

"Sixteen when?". "To-day." "So that's it," said the Corporal; and tamped down the fiery ashes in his pipe with an insensitive finger. "Wan- na see ya mu an' pa. That it?" Curly shrugged.

"Get 'ny birthday presents, son?" "Nup."

"Dad in work?" "Nup." "Ma?" "Siek.".

"Life ain't all wino-gums and doughnuts, ya know," said

Bearsbreath. "I'm all right," said Curly.

hut, and then returned. "Eeyar," he said; and dropped into Curly's lap a quarter- pound slab of nut-milk choco- late. "Many appery turns."

"Ta," said Curly..

"'Alf a mo," said Corporal Bearsbreath; and fumbled un- der his blouse. "Like this?" He held up a canvas belt with money-pouches in it.

"I downnnit. You can 'ave It," said the Corporal, and stamped out of the hut.

"Let's look!" cried the two other drummers. "Let's sce."

"Ain't it a smasher?" said Curly, laughing and sniffing at the same time; while the Lad from the Elephant and Castle, wide-eyed, said: "Wot on earth como over ole Bears- breath?"
