with the French government through our delegate at the commission ok reparations
will come to a good end for both parties, and that we will be able at the
conference which is to meet in Prague in November we may be able to leave
the reserved attitude which the inadmissible conditions of that agreement
imposed on us.
The interventions which we have made and the negotiations which are
beginning will have to be adapted every moment to, the circumstances in which
we will find ourselves during the negotiations which are going on also between
the other creditor and debitor States; but we think that the documents
which we are producing to day, the conclusions which we draw from them
will help us much in the decisions to be taken every moment and for each
case.
My object has been by this study, at a decisive moment to be able to
draw attention on the difficulty and the importance of the question for us, and
by examining the past to be better enabled to enlighten our attitude for the
future.
This enlightenment not only must give Roumania the possibility of being
also this time a debitor who fulfills his obligations hut also by the agreement
to be concluded, to put aside the last con diets of a material nature which produce
difficulties between States, which not only have been side by side in the
general war but who, also in tuture can work closely together for their needs
of all kinds.
If you approve the general lines indicated by this report we beg you
to authorize the Minister of Foreign Affairs and myself to send a commission
to the United States of America so as to settle our war debt, and to authorize
us to lollow up at the same time and on the same norms, negotiations, with
other creditors and debitor States of ours.
