All the statutes which stood in the way were quickly
ab olished. Prince Carol was enthroned. Dr. Maniu's Government resigned, apparently only to avoid any appearance of partisan tactics in helping the popular coup. The Peasant majority is so large that the present pro- visional Government is necessarily based upon it, but Dr. Maniu may resume the Prime Ministership before long. He has already been invited to form a new Ministry but is meeting with difficulties. The idea of a Coalition Government does not prosper. Outsiders who have marked the relatively great success of the Peasant Government, in spite of the agricultural and financial gloom, will sincerely hope that the recent improvement in the administration of most of the affairs of the country will be continued and extended under the new King. * * * *
