Several possibilities lie behind the ‘
move of the Moscow publication ,
"Communist International" in urg-
ing Rumania to sign n mutual as- I
slstance pact at once with Soviet j
Russia, but one thing seems cer-
tain—it is a trial balloon, though
none the less disconcerting as such.
Tlie pact, says the paper, should
follow the form of the recent agree- I
mentx signed bv the little Baltic
states. That is to say. Rumania I
would sign awav her independence
and become a virtual protectorate.
