BRITONS IN RUMANIA
KIDNAPPING CONTINUES NC SATISFACTION FROM AUTHORITIES LONDON. October,3. The British Legation at Bucharest announced that a (British subject, Mr Percy Clark, president of an engineering firm at Ploesti, was kidnapped by three men, who tricked him into leaving his hotel in Athenee Place, in tho centre of Bucharest. The Legation is now convinced that Mr Miller was also (kidnapped. The Rumanian authorities declared that they were unable to act, and the Iron Guard denies knowledge of the kidnapping.
The Legation’s repeated demands for trial dr release of the five Britons arrested a week ago remain unanswered. Berlin says the Rumanian Foreign Minister, M. Sturdza, rejected Sir Reginald Hoare’s protest against the arrests, and accused Sir Reginald of being involved in the sabotage plans in which those arrested were implicated. M. Sturdza asked Sir Reginald to resign.
‘ The Times 1 correspondent at Bucharest says; “Thugs on the frontiers are bullying departing Britons, and the strongest possible pressure from Britain is necessary to meet the situation, which is still deteriorating.”
