Col. Josiah Wedgwood, British Labor M. P., now touring Roumania as a representative of the Keren Hayesod, was received by Queen Marie at a lengthy audience devoted primarily to a discussion of the problems of the rebuilding of Palestine. Col. Wedgwood requested Queen Marie to visit Palestine.

Wednesday evening a reception in honor of Col. Wedgwood was given by Princess Bibesco at her home. Ladies in waiting at the court and the wives of government members attended the reception. Among those present was also Madame Blanc, wife of the Roumanian Jewish banker. Juliu Maniu, Peasant Party leader, the probable next Prime Minister, and other government leaders sent expressions of regret at their inability to be present because of the government crisis.
