Minister for Foreign Affairs sends me following:
In view of liquidation of the conflict between Russian Soviet Republic and Rumania, the Minister for Foreign Affairs offered to the Rumanian Consul General, Moscow, to begin negotiations for settlement of issues involved in accordance with agreement made in Odessa and by the mixed commission. In above-mentioned commission, it was arranged to have representatives of England, Germany, and the United States.
The note was handed me without instructions. I forward to you and await your orders.
This was my first information on the subject. Have you any? Kühlmann has protested to Soviet government against my statement to Russian people that my Government did not recognize separate peace but still considers America ally of the Russian people.1 It was not my intention to please Germany, and I was indifferent concerning effect upon the Russian Government, but thought was reflecting our governmental policy and think no serious complications will eventuate therefrom.
