ROMANIAN-FRENCH RELATIONS BETWEEN MAY AND JUNE 1931, REFLECTED IN THE PAGES OF THE BANAT DAILY THE WEST

Summary/Abstract: The main objective of Romania’s foreign policy, throughout the interwar period, was to maintain the borders drawn at the end of the First World War, shared by all political parties, except the Communist Party, affiliated to the Third International. The transformation of the League of Nations into a hopeful defender of peace and stability, as well as the promotion of regional alliances (the Little Understanding and the Balkan Entente) will aim to discourage revisionism in Eastern Europe. The resumption of relations with the Soviet Union, the Small Accord in the Corps, Romania’s participation in the Disarmament Conference, the rescheduling of the war reparations of the defeated states in the First World War influenced, to a certain extent, the Romanian foreign policy coordinates during this period, but its guidelines they remained the same: peace, collective security, the maintenance of the territorial status quo, disarmament, friendly relations with neighbors and, above all, with the great Western allies (France and Great Britain). In the pages of th newspaper The West were presented and analyzed, with a lot of competence and objectivity, the main aspects of the Romanian-French relations, insisting on the economic projects advanced by France to save the states with agricultural profile in Central and Eastern Europe. At the same time, some asperities in the relations between the two countries were highlighted, determined by the tendency of some governmental circles, coordinated by Constantin Argetoianu, to establish a privileged economic relations with Germany. Political, cultural, technical-scientific or other relations were not omitted, which were still maintained at a very high level.
