Paris Peace Conf. 181.9202/246: Telegram
General Bandholtz to the Commission to Negotiate Peace
[Received November 15—6:15 p.m.]
204. Polk from Bandholtz. Evacuations proceeding so far satisfactory. There is no question but what Roumanians determined to hold line of the Tisza River and destroy bridges if necessary. They have left no liaison officer behind for probable double purpose of covering their tracks and of preventing protests reaching them. I shall therefore send one of my officers to join them to keep up liaison. Their withdrawal from Budapest was very creditable. Local political situation is at present bad. Prospects for early agreement not bright.
