Queen This is revealed In sn Interview Carol gave Just before he left Rumania for England for the funeral of his grand aunt, Dowage'-Queen Alexandra.

This interview, which the Prlncfi now permits to be published, was given to a New York World anS Post-Dispatch eorrespondent. i Danish newspaperman. Karl Bog-holm, who released the interview with the Prince's consent. This chows that Bucharest's efforts to declare the renunciation due' solely to personal reasons 1 untrue and that Carol renounced the throne because he refused longer to support his mother lit keeping Premier Bratiano in office. It also Indicates he is ready to be the leader of a new Carol a liberal The interview reveals a thoughtful man, not one who would renounce a throne for a new romantic attachment.

Carol presents himself as a liberal Intensely interested in educating his people and opposed to the rule of a small clique based on graft. His opinions had long been contrary to those, of his father nd mother, and for nearly a year he had been excluded from royal councils. Bogholm caught Carol at the royal palace at SInala, the favorite royal resort in the Carpathians. Just before 'the death of Queen Alexandra. "I am glad to talk to you about Rumania because We are entering a new political era," said Carol.

"Some people do not seem to realize it." Referring obliquely to M. Bratiano, as he does repeatedly, he went on: "Public morality has been lowered since the war and too many politicians end so-called statesmen forget completely that they are here to serve the country and the people. Never has demoralization been so prevalent as at' this moment. "Rumania must be rerved. It peasants, who are the least demoralized, have been given one advantage, the land.

"Education is the touchstone of all modern government. Our state needs to educate the young, all the young, so that the next generation will know how to govern itself. Rumania -is guided no' by phrases from the mouths of demagogues and it 'is too backward to know how to handle it own affairs.

One of the outstanding social reforms brought about by the Baldwin Government, the extension of old age pensions to include also pensions for widows and orphans, came into operation jesterday when the first pensions became payable under the new law. This reform was promised by the I.a xr Government of Rarnsay Mac- Donald, but was delayed by finan-. cial exigencies. It is part of the program for national insurance against unemployment, sickness, old age and death, which applies to all workers of both sex earning less than 2S0 pounds sterling 250 a year approximately 000.000 workers.

BERLIN. Jan. 6. The Korrespondenz, the party organ of the German People's' party, complying with an appeal from Germans residing in Southern Tyrol for help against "Italian oppression." urges as a watchword: "Let no German set foot on Italian eoil as long as South Tyrol is being tortured." The appeal asserts that the ob-; Ject of Italian anti-German policy in South Tyrol is "degradation of; the inhabitants and a state of cul-i tural. mental and economic serfdom." and that the only remedy for this is "avoidance of travel to Italy, as every trip to Italy the German Tyrolese accounted an act of treason against German nationality." It is argued that inthe long run Italy will be unable to dispense with the millions of marks derived from Herman tourist, whom it be hooved, for the sake of their South Tyrolese brethren, to renounce the pleasures of such trips.

Government paper, came out yesterday against suggestions that direct negotiations between Chile and Peru be substituted for President Coolldge's arbitral award in settling the sovereignty of Tacna and Arica. Declaring the suggestions smack of Chilean propaganda, the paper continues in part: "Our country has accepted the decision of President Coolidge and is proceeding with absolute good faith. "To bring the Tacna-Arica question back to the diplomatic field and direct negotiations would not solve the problem nor assure peace on the continent. We are, then, with the arbiter and his delegate (General Pershing) and we adhere In letter and spirit to the'de-cisition. We wish an honest plebiscite, an authentic expression of the will of the Tacrans and Aricans and we shall not listen to proposals that tend to deviate us from that road, at the end of which is the revindication of our unredeemed provinces.

6. The extraordinary act of the Bavarian Government In dismissing from office the Upper Burgomaster of Nuremberg, Dr. Luppe, on the charge of false swearing. Is said to have been based on a petty ftbel suit which occurred five years ago. It Is considered by the Republicans as an act of political vengeance.

Five years ago Dr. Luppe was libeled by a man named Stretcher. He brought suit and won. Now it Is charged that Luppe did not tell the. exact truth, first, concerning the origin of a fur-coat which had come Into his possession, and, second, that the trivial case of a knife found in possession of a young man.

The real motives of the Bavarian Government, however, are to punish Luppe for revealing the fact that on the eve of the Ludendorff-Hitler putsch in 1923 Luppe had Informed the Reichswehr Minister, Gessler, the Bavarian Government and the conspirators in the puteh, that If the putsch occurred Fran-conla, of which Nuremberg'Is the capital, would separate from the rest of Bavaria. Since then complicity or st least the knowledge of the Berlin Cabinet with the Bavarian putsch makers has been proved. The Bavarian Government, which still considers itself a sovereign state, acts Independently of Berlin and has ought an occasion to. punish Luppe, really for his Republican sympathies.

IN MEXICAN LAWS President Coolidge "Assumes," However, That'Mexico Will Not Violate Agreements. liy tt.c Aeivvialeri Press.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Official silence in Washington as to details of negotiations with the Mexican foreign office over retroactive features of new Mexican petroleum and land law legislation has failed to conceal the grave anxiety with which events in Mexico City are being observed. It is now known that the alien land law awaiting promulgation contains at least four clauses of retroactive application that would adversely affect the Interests of American investors. There fan be no question but that these are regarded as not only in contravention of the rTiles and principles of international law and equity, but also are.

in direct violation of the understanding between the two Governments which grew out of the conference in 1923 and led to the diplomatic recognition by the United States of the present Mexican Government. White House Statement. What course the Washington administration may have in mind has not been disclosed. That some hope is entertained of an adjustment before the new laws ere put into operation appears to be the explanation of the statement authorized yesterday at the White House that President Coolidge "assumed" there would be no violation by Mexico of the 1923 agreements or of international law. The objectionable features-of the land law from the American point of view lie in articles 2.

3, 4 and 7. In its final form and as it now awaits official publication, the act provides: 3. Irrespective of the time when Interests were acquired by a foreigner in a Mexican corporation owning lands or other concessions for miniDg or other mineral exploitation, he would be required to renounce his national rights with respect to such holdings in order to continue ownership. 2. Article three denies recognition to more than 50 per cent foreign interests in a Mexican company engaged in agricultural work and Article Four supplements this with a provision that foreign holdings in excess of the DO per cent must be disposed of In 10 j-ears if held by corporations and can be retained only until death in the case of individual ownership.

3. Article Seven requires aliens with legally acquired interests in such companies to declare their ownership within a year after promulgation of the act. under penalty of the assumption fos legal purposes that such interests were acquired subsequent to that promulgation. Waiver of Nationality. The Washington Government has denied the right of an American citizen to waive his nationslity in the manner prescribed and has also denied that such a renunciation would operate to extinguish the obligation upon the Goernmnt to give an American full protection in the event of a denial of Justice.

As to the second and third provisos, taken together. It is held that they constitute an adverse condition to be attached to the foreign interest involved, regardless of the time when such interests were acquired or of the complete legality of that acquirement prior to the enactment of the new law. The last point is construed as a threat of loss of property by an arbitrary legal assumption aa to rond birthday, an album contain- pYf. that thAlean living and the i-Rthe names and photographs for th law required of oar effieer, hero That was done by all Fascist "ranrhes the world over Kramlies in Other Cities.
