When a few weeks ago Vintila Bratianu's so-called Liberal Government was replaced by Julius Maniu's National Peasant Government, Romania liberated herself from a tyranny which lasted for three-quarters of a century. During that time the country had grown from an inconspicuous principality into the largest state of the Balkans. With consummate diplomacy which utilized the artifices associated with Byzantinism, the Bratianus, a dynasty of rich boyars, became the supreme lords of Rumania and the living symbols of her greatness.
