Queen Marie Wants Friend Stirhey to Replace ‘Bratiana BUCHAREST, Dec. 2.—That Queen Marie of Rumania is seeking to oust the Vintila Bratianu government and ®|supplant it with a cabinet headed by. Prince Stirbey, is. the current rumor here. Stirbey, who is described as “an {old and intimate friend” of Marie’s, is believed to be well-disposed toward | Carol.

The | acquittal of Nicholas, a Serbian law- |yer, accused of distributing Carolist | literature is interpreted as a further | indication of sympathy for Carol. | * ” * | BUCHAREST, Dec. 2. — Premier | Vintila Bratianu has reiterated to the | press his determination to refuse the Opposition’s demands for the dissolu- tion of Parliament and the calling of new elections. The status quo will be absolutely maintained, he asserted. Juliu Maniu, leader of the Opposition, is making charges that the present Parliament is illegal because the gov- ernment used coercion during the last elections. The Premier declared that the National Peasant Party will prob- ably not enter a coalition cabinet.

Quezon Attending Conference of the Filipinos in U, $. LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dee. 2.c-- The Philippine Federation of America has opened its annual convention this week, at the Philharmonic Auditorium here. The attitude of Filipinos in America toward American rule in the islands will probably be expressed at this conference, which is considered by Filipino leaders important enough to warrant the presence of Manuel Quezon and Senator Osmena, who are staying over for the convention while on their way home from Washington, D.C, There is a tendency on the part of Filipino organizations in this coun- try, especially among the student ele- ments, who know America’s imperial- ist policies very well, to demand more militant policy and fight for in- dependence than the conservative na- tionalist leaders have been following, and they say the presence of Quezon and Osmena is to insure the approval of their policies by the Philippine E ration of America. biG He BALL by the DAILY WORKER the HES Saturday Evening 1927: @ Madison Sq.
