File No. 763.72/7527
The Minister in Rumania ( Vopicka) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 1, 1.50 p.m.]
161. The Roumanian Prime Minister convoked all the Allied Ministers to protest against the action of the Executive Committee of the Soviet in sending a delegate from this Soviet to accompany Mr. Tereshchenko to the Paris conference instructed to uphold peace program which is in fact dictated by Germany and which would take from Roumania in return for all her sacrifices the entire [reward?]. Prime Minister said the publication of such a peace program would greatly depress the Army and the people especially at a time when the Russian situation and the agonizing need for more ammunition and food has already put their confidence to such a severe test. He does not doubt that the powers will not only refuse to discuss such a peace program but will not even allow a delegate so instructed to partake in the conference. Anything to the contrary would be a real disaster for Roumania. He is convinced that the [Page 286] Russian Provisional Government has the power to alter the Soviet’s decision and further he wishes to call attention to the necessity of preventing any ambiguity on this point which may have a dangerous reaction here. The representatives of the Allies are unanimous in demanding their Governments to intervene immediately.
