All Rumania must do is guarantee territorial revision with Hungary and Bulgaria, in which case Italy and' her neighbors will help Rumania if Russia tries to recapture Bessarabia. But should Rumania refuse, her neighbors will not only let Russia come in, but will invade King Carols precinct themselves.
