Although the new Rumanian Government wants to extend Rumania’s “circle of sympathies,” it remains pledged to maintain the traditional ties of friendship with France, Premier Octavian Goga declared tonight in an interview with the Havas correspondent. At the same time Goga stated it was absolutely false to say he planned to set up a dictatorship.

“As regards Rumania’s foreign policy,” Goga said, “I have declared from the beginning that we will break none of our alliances. We want simply to enlarge abroad the circle of sympathies for Rumania.

“We have never thought to strike a blow at the traditional links uniting us with France. I have never voiced one syllable against the friendship between our two countries.”
