The Roumanian Legation to the Department of State
Memorandum
It has come to the knowledge of the Roumanian Government that some of the gold that reaches the United States at present, is part of the Roumanian gold which was sent in 1916 to Moscow for safety, and is used by the Soviet Authorities to make payments abroad.
The Roumanian Government … considers himself obliged to formulate reservations as to its final distribution.
