The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 3—8:25 a.m.]
3280. ReEmbs 3250, August 31, 11 p.m. Rumanian armistice terms proposed by Soviet Government cover break on part of Rumania with Germany and her satellites. No reference is made to Japan. Has the Department reached a decision on whether we wish to raise the issue with Rumania regarding break of diplomatic relations with Japan or are we willing to allow Japanese to maintain diplomatic mission in Rumania? If the Department desires Rumania’s diplomatic break with Japan, are we prepared to deal with this point in a separate document without Soviet participation if the Soviet Government does not wish to be involved?
