The Ambassador in France ( Sharp) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 23, 2.30 p.m.]
2932. Department’s 2928, December 7.1 Was informed Foreign Office to-day that the policy of the French Government in dealing with Roumanian affairs is to keep that country, if possible, from signing any peace terms. A telegram received at Foreign Office yesterday from Bratiano Ministry, announces its opposition to any separate peace. The armistice which that Government will sign is not included in the Russian agreement. Roumania will conduct its own negotiations for an armistice avoiding making any negotiations for peace. Fuller statement as to proposed military plans for Roumania will be found in my No. 2833 [2933?] of this date which involves its partial consideration.2
