The Acting Secretary of State to the Rumanian Minister (Davila)

Sir: The President directs me to acknowledge receipt of your note of June 15, 1933, in which you set forth the decision of the Rumanian Government to pay the Government of the United States the sum of $29,100.00, an amount which you state is equivalent to three per cent, advance interest on the installment which fell due on June 15, as a payment on account and as an acknowledgment by the Rumanian Government of the debt due the United States. The presentation made in your note as to the inability of your Government to pay the entire amount due has been noted.

In accordance with your request, the representations of the Government of Rumania with regard to the entire debt question between our two countries will be gladly heard at a date to be agreed upon between us.

Accept [etc.]
