The Minister in Rumania (Wilson) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received February 17—12:50 p.m.]
6. Department’s 3, Jan. 21, 3 p.m., paragraph (2). Secretary General, Foreign Office, informs me verbally that I may state officially that time for conclusion of commercial treaty for all countries which have begun negotiations, of which United States considered one, will be extended until May 1st and unofficially will if necessary be further extended. He urges that in order to save time delegates with full powers be appointed to negotiate as in negotiations with other countries. Personally do not believe Rumanian Government will be ready to begin negotiations before April.
