FURTHER NOTES TO RUMANIA

BRITAIN AND U.S. NOT SATISFIED FAILURE' TO CARRY OUT ASSURANCES (Rec. 8 p.m.) June 17. The British Note delivered to Bucharest on June 15 says that Rumania’s reply to the earlier British request for implementation of the assurances given after the Moscow Conference "not only contains inaccuracies, but gives a completely inadequate and distorted picture of conditions as they exist to-day.” The British Note adds that the British Government has examined carefully the various considerations adduced by Rumania, but regards the reply as wholly unsatisfactory, and it “accordingly hopes that the Rumanian Government will see fit to take immediate effective steps to implement its previous assurances.” The British Note again draws attention to Rumania’s failure to set a date for its elections. It acknowledges assurances that the Rumanian newspapers in future will not delay publication of Allied declarations. Washington report says that the United States has issued a second Note to Rumania, stating in unusually sharp diplomatic language that reply to the first American Note was unsatisfactory and inadequate. This second Note observes that Rumania hag not set a date for her elections and has. not replied satisfactorily to the American questions concerning “the continued internal violence and censorship which mock at the application of the freedoms guaranteed by the Rumanian Government through its acceptance of the Moscow Conference decisions.”
