Rumania Said Reconciled To German Dominance

Troops Concentrated Along Hungarian and Ruthenian Border as Precautionary Move

Bucharest, Mar. 20.

MANIA has informed Britain and France that she is "more or less reconciled to entering the orbit of German influence regardless of whatever promises of strong support may be forthcoming from the Western Powers, it was understood here today. King Carol's mini: ters in Britain and France were reported to have pointed out Rumania's "difficult position" as a result of Germany's military invasion of Czecho-Slovakia "and intimated that Rumania held little hope of effectively resisting further Nazi penetration.

Meanwhile, both Rumanian and German officials continued to deny reports of a German economic ultimatum to Rumania.

Morning newspapers yesterday featured German and Rumanian denials of the ultimatum reports and M. P. Seicaru, usually well-informed editor of the "Curentul," who on Saturday said nothing would prevent Germany's domination "from the Baltic to the Black Sea and Agean Sea," today advocated Rumania's establishment of close relations with Germany as soon as possible.—United Press.
