(4 part message complete)

From M. SARRET for the Ministry of National Economy and Finance, Department of Foreign Commerce. Please transmit to M. WENGER.

With reference to your telegram of 4 May, the text of which came to my knowledge only on 25 May.

1. The value of the bonds maturing 15 April and 15 May 1943 was turned over more than a year ago to the petroleum companies responsible for delivering the gasoline.

2. As I have already pointed out, the tonnages of gasoline represented by these bonds are not individualized. The organizations have only contracted with the Roumanian Government to deliver, according to the agreements, the amounts of gasoline represented by the bonds.

3. The agreements have expired. In this connection I would like to recall the fact that the Roumanian Government, going back on its first answer, has not accepted the procedure of having a new postponement of deliveries even on the basis of the quotations of the petroleum advisor in November 1943. This is in part —11%—Roumanians made a real attempt to get the German Delegation to have inserted in the agreements of last February the clause regarding the 12,000 tons.

4. As the deliveries were not made under the —G— provided for —G— (7agreement7), the Roumanian Government or the companies could try to obtain better terms. The carrying out of the clause regarding the 12,000 tons would avoid, at least in the opinion of the Finance Ministry, the possibility of the question of price being raised.

5. On the basis of an agreement concluded between the German authorities and the COMPTOIR EUROPEEN DE CREDIT, RUMIN is supposed to have been charged with the duty of ensuring the exportation of the 12,000 tons in monthly installments of 1500 tons. I have put its director, (7Mr.7) (7CEL7)LIEH in contact with the Board of Managers for the Transaction of Funds, which gave him all the necessary information. I would appreciate it if you would let me know immediately if I should cooperate fully with RUMIN.
