Northern (N): Romania (NR). Diplomatic Representation of Foreign Countries in Roumania

A file of correspondence concerning diplomatic relations in Romania. Subjects covered in the file include the arrest of Romanian nationals working at the French and American legations; and the expulsion of the Second Secretary at the Israeli legation, Joseph Vered. Further correspondence discusses a reception held at the Chinese embassy in celebration of Chinese National Day; and a reception for a visiting Polish delegation held by the president of the Grand National Assembly, Constantin Pirvulescu, during which the British minister felt forced to leave following an inflammatory speech in which offensive remarks were made about American imperialist aggression against China. The file also includes a complaint regarding delays in the issuing of visas to American technical staff and the counter-arguments of the Romanians, who claimed that the United States was unwilling to grant visas to Romanian visitors.
