RUMANIAN NEUTRALITY
ALOOF FROM AXIS BERLIN CONVERSATIONS (Reed. April 21, 9 a.m.) LONDON, April 20. A message from Berlin states that despite the efforts of the German Foreign Minister, Herr von Ribbentrop, to persuade the Rumanian Foreign Minister, M. Gafencu, to commit Rumania to the Rome-Berlin axis, it is reliably stated that M. Gafencu insisted that Rumania would maintain her neutrality.
It is understood that they agreed to continue their conversations aimed at closer Rumanian-German trade relations.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily Express says that the French Foreign Minister, M. Bonnet, told the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Deputies that negotiations in progress with Russia, included the possibility of the Soviet sending not only warplanes but, in certain cases, troops for the assistance of Poland and Rumania.
