Little Entente Attacked
By Rumanian Fascists

Bucharest, May 5.--The Rumanian government is making extraordinary efforts to put a stop to the campaign which the Rumanian Fascists are carrying against the Little Entente.

The fascists maintain that the other members of the Little Entente, conspicuously Jugoslavia, are using Rumania to bolster up the alliance, while damaging or ignoring Rumanian national interests on their own soil.

Recently Fascismul, the Fascist organ, attacked the Little Entente and the Rumanian government for remaining in it. By a vote of the ministerial council the issue was seized and the paper suppressed. Fascismul reappeared recently with the following declarations against one fellow-member of the Little Entente:

"In the Banat and in Macedonia the Rumanian soul, we fear, cannot survive the measures which are being taken against it. From five years our children are being driven into Serbian schools, and they are forbidden to speak any language other than Serbian.

"All Rumanian churches and schools have been closed. The Rumanians are being tormented without hindrance and with official encouragement by the Serbian colonists.

"The same is true in Greece. There also the Rumanian population is being denationalized. The Greeks for this purpose resort even to murder.

The areas in Macedonia and on the Pind are running anew with Rumanian blood. With such allies it would be to our advantage to send the Little Entente to the devil."

After this pointed utterance, it is worthy of note, Fascismul was not suppressed.
