The Ambassador in France (Sharp) to the Secretary of State
[Received April 11, 3.11 a.m.]
3568. Following joint telegram from Allied Ministers, dated Jassy, April 9:
The union of Bessarabia and Rumania appears imminent. The president of the Council left yesterday for Kishinev in order to accelerate this step. We have held ourselves aloof from the recent negotiations on this subject. When the event is an accomplished fact, it would be well to favorably comment thereon in the Allied press, so as to frustrate the efforts which the Austro-Germans will doubtless make to claim the merit for themselves.
