M. Titulescu who had already formed a Cabinet, has abandoned the task, it is announced to-day, and Professor Jorga, who was to have been his Minister of Education, has become Prime Minister in his place. Professor Jorga is also Minister of Education, and provisionally Minister of the Interior as well. Dr. Lupu is not included in the new Cabinet.

M. Titulescu resigned because of King Carol’s insistence that his personal friend, M. Argetoiano, who was instrumental in his return to Roumania last year, should be included in the Cabinet. M. Titulescu found himself unable to do this. Professor Jorga has given M. Argetoiano the Ministry of Finance and provisionally also of Foreign Affairs.
