British Government Halts Plan to Scatter Pamphlets Over Ru mania by Airplane. 1 London. May S. Prince Carol's I long awaited coup to return to Ku 1 ir.ar.kt tuid the throne he renounced, i has h-.-oii launched and temporarily blccked by the British government, .the Daily Express declares in an ar ticle Monday morning revealing a sensational plan to bombard his j country with pamphlets and mani- lestoes dropped trom airplanes. The plans were frustrated when the British government refused to lie. two airpianes wnicn iTince taroi I had chartered, leave the country for jthe flight over Rumania. Carol, the . Daily Express adds, was not balked by this interference, but has sent an I agent to the continent, presumably to make arrangements to hire planes to go l'ro:n some other country to drop propaganda upon the disturbed coun try. Were to Drop Phamplets The planes which Carol had en gaged here were to fly over Buchar est and other Rumanian cities, drop ping pamphlets which announced to the country the exiled prince's wil lingness to take the throne. The time chosen is propitious, the Daily Express pointed out, as Pre mier Bratinau, Carol's c hief opponent, finds his government tottering under the fiery attacks of the peasant party, which held a monster mass meeting Sunday at Alba Julia and called upon Bratianu to resign. Carol came to London from Paris last week with Madame Lupescu, who has been his companion in exile, and who was held responsible for his re nouncing the throne. Only recently when asked if he would return to Ru mania, if it mean parting company with his beautiful companion, Carol intimated' that he would let no woman stand between hint and the throne.
