The Ambassador to the Yugoslav Government in Exile (MacVeagh) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 2—8:43 a.m.]
Yugos 111. My Yugos 109, June 1. Lord Moyne, Novikov and I held a conference this evening and agreed to hand the Rumanian [Page 181] emissaries a final statement in the following sense, provided our three Governments approved:
“In view of the situation created by the latest telegrams of Mr. Maniu, the delegates of the three powers deem it necessary to declare to the Rumanian delegates that further negotiations would serve no purpose and the negotiations are considered ended.
“If Mr. Maniu wishes to take advantage of the armistice terms offered by the three powers he should follow the advice already given him by sending an officer to make direct contact with the Red Army on the front.”
Please instruct.
