Another Feather for Hitler
In Abdication of King Carol
By Dtwiit MacKensie
King Carol of Rumania haj lost hit throne through a
combination of circumstances, not least of which has been the
shadow-rule of his titian-haired sweetheart, Madame Lupescu
but when all is said and done it represents another great
victory for Adolf Hitler.
Rumania has entered nazi
dom, and of that there is but
one master the fuhrer. He has
gained a new and important
disciple for his teachings. He
ha gained access, hitherto dis
puted, to the agricultural wealth
and oil of the country, thus
strengthening his arm against
Britain. He has erected a stra
tegic barrier against Russia, and
furthered his own politico-economic
control of the Balkans.
Carol Served Well

will, and some of the ability,
to be a good king. From per
sonal investigation in Rumania
it seemed to me that he did in
fact serve his country well In
many ways.
So far as the records go he
was an honest servant of his
people. In fact, when I was in
Rumania in the fall of 1938, the
king was in process of trying
to clean up his political house
to eliminate graft which was
said to have weakened his
regime-
Still, despite his good inten
tions and many excellent qual
ities he lacked the political acu
men and diplomacy to enable
him to deal with the strong
forces surrounding him. Ru
mania was one of the earliest
to feel the hand of the nazi fifth
column. There were more than
a dozen political parties, which
more often than not were pull
ing against each other.
Iron Man Needed
The situation called for an
iron man. Carol had the deter
mination, but he was strong
willed to the point of extreme
stubborness, and his determina
tion thus became a weakness.
He tried to use, and indeed did
use, a club when subtle methods
were called for.
Perhaps his greatest fault was
that he was unable to turn away
from the whispered advice of
the fascinating Magda Lupescu
one of the outstanding per
sonalities of our time. Probably
the advice of this hypnotic
beauty was at times good. I
don't know the answer to that.
But we can say that through
her he made the great mistake
of clashing with his military
leaders and army.
When Carol in 1930 returned
from his exile with Madame
Lupescu and, at her urging,
engineered the coup which gave
him the throne, the people re
ceived him with an open mind.
He was far from popular with
many because of his affair with
the red-haired Magda, but they
were prepared to forgive and
forget.
They weren't prepared, how
ever, to accept Madame Lupes
cu, and when Carol installed
her near the royal palace the
people began the murmuring!
which finally swelled into a
great volume that should have
warned the king. Undoubtedly

FOR IMPROVEMENT
Gaps of Poor Road Will Be
Put in Shape for Use of
Army's Mechanized Units
By Jack Stinnett
Washington. If you see a
couple of gents measuring the
width of a state highway, tak
ing grade elevations, punching
soil-test rods into shoulders and
measuring the sag in old
bridges, you'll know that the
highway is a part of the 80,000
mile network of strategic mili
tary roads.
You probably won't see any
such gents, because most of the
state highway departments
already have the information.
In the next few weeks they
will be pouring it Into the pub
lic roads administration here for
tabulation and assembly into a
report to the army and the na
tional defense commission.
Out of that report, with rec
ommendations from the presi
dent and action from congress,
our strategic military highway
network may be improved and
repaired. But don't let anybody
ten you that at the moment
there is any wholesale plan to
make super-highways out of
every wagon track or even
any national defense plans to
"super" highways that aren't
already "supered."
Must Support Tanks
About the only military roads
that will be built immediately
are those which lead from the
main arteries or cities to new
military and naval establish
ments. In mileage, these roads
probably will be negligible. It Is
likely they will be built with
an eye to modern mechanical
warfare w 1 d e and strong
enough to accommodate the
heavy tanks and new heavy gun
carriages.

The 80,000-mile network was
worked out by the army and
the public roads administration.
It spiderwebs over every state,
with east-west and north-south
arteries tying together the coast
lines and the borders and giv
ing clear outlets from industrial
centers to military cantonments
and naval supply bases.
Bridge Boom Likely
Much of it, according to pre
liminary surveys, would be sat
isfactory for military use even
now. The principal difficulties
are gaps of poor road that link
some of the better highways
and about 2.000 bridges that are
tar from adequate for passage
of new, heavier military equip
ment.
It looks to this unexpert eye
as if the bridge building busi
ness is in for a boom. If there
are 2,000 wobbly bridges that
need reinforcing or replace
ment, that means a heap of
new spans, even if some of them
are no more than glorified cul
verts. Not All At Once
What effect the survey and
subse q u e n t recommendations
will have on the country's high
way system cannot be predict
ed now. But you can skip the
idea that we are going to have
in the near future 80,000 miles
of highways that will match the
1,900-mile four-lane, earth-di
vided autobahnen of Germany.
We already have more auto
bahnen here than that and we'll
probably have still more, but it
would take years to super-highway
the whole network and
make adequate feeders out of
all the horse and buggy roads
that lead into it.
