Michael takes a walk

September 25, 1940

Noted New York Times correspondent, C.L. Sulzberger is current in Bucharest. His most recent dispatch focused on changes in Roumania since King Carol II's departure a month ago.
Yesterday, young King Michael "walked the streets of Bucharest like an ordinary citizen -- unaccompanied either by guards or ceremony."
Sulzberger notes that "this simple event represents the great changes that have occured in the last month and the unquestioned reestablishment of order."
Michael was accompanied by his mother, and Premier Ion Antonescu. "Astonished" crowds followed, cheering loudly. The royal party first visited a grocer where they bought fruit and drinks, and then made a stop to buy candy.
