The Minister in Rumania (Jay) to the Secretary of State

38. Press continues to discuss truth of my reported recall. Opposition press expresses the hope that it will convince the King of necessity of dismissing Bratiano government. Legation has continued decline to discuss matter and Foreign Office has stated that it has no information but semi-officially denied a report that my alleged recall was due to severe tone of my recent protests.

Feeling however Foreign Office would soon apply to me for information I addressed Friday July 11th short note to Under Secretary stating that I desired to make highly important communication of my own personally to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Prime Minister and requested interview with them immediately after return of the Minister for Foreign Affairs expected Thursday.

If not already done please at once impress upon Roumanian Legation that I am carrying out your instructions.

Jay
