"SHOOT AT SIGHT"
REPRESSING TERRORISM
BUCHAREST, December 1
Orders have been issued to police throughout the country "to proceed with the greatest energy against all individuals committing acts of violence, to shoot down terrorists at sight, and to maintain order at all costs." Policemen hesitating to shoot will be punished in accordance with, the existing laws.
This follows the discovery of a plot by the Fascist Iron Guard to start a campaign of terrorism. Pamphlets addressed to King Carol were circulated in Bucharest yesterday stating that, as the Iron Guard had
abandoned hope of reaching a peaceful solution of their conflict with the Government, they would adopt other measures. A number of army officers suspected of Fascist sympathies have been relieved of their posts, including General Antonescu, a former Minister of War, commander of the Third Army Corps.
