The Secretary of State to the Ambassador to the Yugoslav Government in Exile (MacVeagh), at Cairo
Yugos 28. Your Yugos 120, June 13. In view of Maniu’s agreement to conclude an armistice on basis of terms presented by the Allies, the Department favors continuance of conversations with his representative as being of possible aid in establishing agreement on means of putting armistice into effect. The Department therefore approves decision of Allied representatives to permit safelanding of additional Rumanian emissaries at Aleppo.
The Department knows of no basis in fact for statement in Maniu’s message that Allies had repeatedly declared that Rumania could obtain amelioration of armistice conditions. Since Maniu accepts Allied terms as presented, however, his observation regarding their possible modification in Rumania’s favor when applied would seem to be irrelevant.
