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

33. Department’s 19, December 12, noon [11, 6 p.m.?]. Foreign Office finds acceptable as basis of commercial treaty articles 7 to 11 of German-American treaty and has referred matter to Ministry of Commerce. In view of anticipated favorable decision and in order to save time Foreign Office suggests draft treaty, which should include French translation, be forwarded immediately. Am informed that in case of necessity and in view of evident impossibility of negotiating numerous commercial treaties before March 1st, time can be extended for six months after that date for those countries which have actually begun negotiations.

Wilson
