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

141. Dr. M. W. Fodor, Central European correspondent of the Chicago Daily News tells me that he feels satisfied that a non-aggression pact has recently been privately offered by Germany to Russia. His information is that the latter has not yet answered but he interprets the recent Russo-Polish declarations and the Izvestia article urging closer collaboration with us as indirect replies à la Russe.

May I invite your attention to Fodor’s current series of articles in the Chicago Daily News on German economic penetration in the Balkans.
