Watch Rumania!

ON Rumania there is no better book than D. J. HALL'S record of his life among the peasants, Romanian Furrow (the "o" spelling is strictly the correct one), recently reissued in a cheap edition (55. net) with a Foreword by R. H. Bruce Lockhart. King Carol considers it the best book ever written on his country, and Douglas Reed devotes a whole page to it in the March World Review.
