The visit of the new Rumanian Premier, Dr. Vaida-Voeved, to
London has enabled leading members of the various Churches in Great Britain to draw his personal attention to the imnortance
of relit ions liberty. The Rumanian occupation of Transylvania has, unfortunately, been attended by something like a persecu- tion of Protestants and Roman Catholics, and indeed of all not belonging to the Greek Church. The Unitarians were able to transmit detailed evidence of their sufferings to their co- religionists in this country, and Mr. Drummond has confirmed their stories by an inquiry on the spot. The Roman Catholics and Calvinists probably have equal ground for complaint. Nothing could prejudice Rumania more in British eyes than the continuance of such intolerant practices. We are glad to learn that the Rumanian Premier, himself a Transylvanian, has given a verbal promise that the religious liberty of Rumania's new citizens shall be respected. It would indeed be deplorable if the Allies' efforts on Rumania's behalf were to result in giving Transylvania an Administration as oppressive in a different way as that of the Magyars.
