BUCHAREST,
Sept.
6:
In
the
presence
of
General
Ion
Antonescu,
whom
he
brought
from
prison
to
assume
a
dictatorship
over
the
kingdom
in
the
time
of
extreme
crisis,
King
Carol
II
abdicated
at
dawn
today
in
favor
of
his
eighteen-year
old
son,
Prince
Michael,
who
immediately
I
ascended
to
the
throne
as
a
puppet
monarch
to
Antonescu.
Carol
is
expected
to
leave
Bucharest
at
once,
probably
going
to
Turjieyto
rejoin
Madame.
Magda
Liupcseu,
'fits
enamorata,
believed
to
be
now
at
Istanbul
aboard
a
royal
yacht.
Carol's
abdication
came
after
a
dramatic
night
conference
between
the
King
and
Antonescu.
Even
as
Iron
Guardists
demonstrated
violently
throughout
the
capital
city
and
the
country
demanding
the
abdication,
Antonescu
insisted
that
the
monarch
step
down.
There
were
shouts
in
the
streets
of
"Carol
must
abdicate
but
don't
let
him
take
the
money."
Under
the
strain
of
the
last
few
months
of
crisis,
Carol
has
been
failing
visibly,
losing
thirty-three
pounds
in
weight.

ON
WAR
VANCOUVER
Speaking
before
a
joint
banquet
last
night
of
the
Vancouver
Canadian
Club,
war
Association
and
Board
of
Trade,
Sir
Edward
Beatty
predicted
that
her
courage
and
resolution
would
win
the
war
for
Great
Britain.
In
time
he
believed
the
mastery
of
the
air
would
pass
completely
from
Germany
to
Great
Britain.
Canadians
would
have
to
make
much
greater
sacrifices
than
they
had
so
far
done.
Tcace
would
come
as
a
result
of
revolution
within
the
dictatorships,
Sir
Edward
said.
It
was
difficult
to
visualize
Hitler
or
Mussolini
every
taking
part
in
a
peace
conference.
It
seemed
axiomatic
to
the
speaker
that
Canada
would
remain
in
perpetual
alliance
with
Great
Britain
and
the
United
States.
The
real
test
of
the
war
would
be
that
of
morale
and
the
willingness
to
make
sacrifice
for
the
common
good.
He
warned
against
subcrvision,
defeatism,
panic,
overdue
optimism
and
weariness
