Rumania and Bulgaria

The negotiations between Rumania and Bulgaria have been brought to a conclusion which everyone well acquainted with the history of the Balkans in the last 32 years will regard with satisfaction. Bulgaria regains the Southern Dobrudja with the ntier which she held till 1912, when she was attacked by mania in the second Balkan War. That Rumania was owed to keep this territory at the Peace Treaty was not a satis- tory arrangement. Its return now will appease Bulgaria and an act of.wisdom on the part of Rumania, who can now turn th more confidence to her critical negotiations with Hungary. ese will present far greater difficulties.
