The Rumanian Government does not possess a communication from either the French or British Governments voicing a threat of retaliation if Rumania does not modify her trade relations with Germany, a high Rumanian official told the United Press yesterday.
"Rumania has trade obligations td both belligerents and neutrals which we hope to carry out impartially," he said. "We are sure that neither France nor Britain would insist on our breaking these arrangements.
"We are fully aware of the interest of belligerent powers in our raw materials. In all cur trade relations we are trying to be rb impartial and neutral as we are in our political relations."—United Press.
