poland and romania menaced by massing of soviet troops king and queen of roumania on state visit to london but true object of pilgrimage is search for both military security and financial aid london may 18 alarm again is ian crowned heads has been merely i i i felt by both roumania and poland at military measures recently taken by the bolsheviki on the frontiers of those countries the concentration of russian troops and artillery on the borders includes 20000 cyclists the most interesting development arising out of this scare is the sud den turn of roumania and poland to turkey for aid in the event of trouble turkish missions have arrived both at warsaw and bucharest where they are concerting plans for defence with the polish and roumanian general staffs turkeys grievance against russia at the moment is the expulsion of all turks from the caucasus which is said now to be taking place the causes of anxiety on the part of russias neighbors are the russian desire to recover bessarabia from roumania and the russian determina tion not to allow poland to keep the extensive nonpolish areas which lie within the present military frontier with the state visit to this country of king ferdinand and queen marie of roumania accompanied by the foreign minister duca following close on the downfall of premier poincare of france and immediately preceding the plenary session of the anglosoviet conference several loose ends of european diplomacy have been linked up here during the past week officially the visit of the rouman- one of courtesy but the polite fiction that a king and queen travel from one end of the continent to the other merely for a change of air has not served to slur over the political sgni- ficance of the visit the royal pil grimage was undertaken in search of both military security and financial aid it is an open secret that the visitors failure to obtain either one in paris has increased the importance attached by them to their visit here the rou manian government is known to be taking the closest interest in the anglo- soviet conference now sitting here although the questions in which tho balkan state is primarily con cerned really come outside the imme diate scope of the conference roumanias foreign policy is dom inated by three questions the first being the future of bessarabia the frontier province 100000 square miles in area with rich corn lands and a population of 2000000 juris diction over this provinco is in dis pute between roumania and soviet russia the second question is the recovery of the roumaninn national treasure consisting of a gold reserve and state jewels valued jointly at 200000000 this was deposited in pctrograd during the war and was seized by the soviet government the third question is
