Yugos 80. Instead of proceeding as stated in my Yugos 79, April 3, 5
p.m.,49 Lord
Moyne is tonight sending the following message to Marshal Antonescu
from the British Government:
- “1. In your message transmitted through
Theodorescu50 you asked upon what
assistance from the air Rumania can count if she resists
the Germans. In reply we are willing to bring powerful
air attack to bear on such targets as you
suggest.
- 2. You also asked whether the Allies can make some
helpful declaration of policy to assist you in producing
will to fight among Rumanians. Mr. Molotov has now made
a clear declaration of which you are no doubt
aware.
- 3. You must therefore reply at once whether you accept
the proposals of the Soviet Government with which the
other Allies are fully associated.”
