The 73-year-old Republican testi-
fled at an open hearing before the

Britain should be predicated on
whether the munitions would be
more useful to the United States
here or there
2. That there should be compul-

for Americans, not to provide men

Friends Advice
Declined To Start War
In Balkans, Foreign
Minister Says

BUCHAREST, July 2.
(UP) F orei ign Minister
Constantin Argetoianu re-
vealed today that Rumania
was advised by "all our
friends and allies" to yield to So
Wet ultimatums for surrender Of
Bessarabia and northern Bukovina
so as not to create a new war
in this part of Europe"
He said that Russia presented
two ultimatums to Rumania. The
first demanded the unconditional
surrender of the two areas.
Rumania, he revealed, consulted
with its friends and allies and was
advised to yield.
Argetoianu did not specify with
which friends and allies" Rumania
consulted. Nevertheless, he said,
Rumania sent note to the Soviet
suggesting meeting in an effort
to obtain easier conditions.
The Soviet, he said, replied that
the Rumanian note was "evasive"
and set time limit for Rumania
acceptance of the Soviet ultimatum.
Argetoianus appearance came as
the arrival was reported in Ru-
mania of new shipments of German
arms, including anti-aircraft guns.
The anti-aircraft guns will be
used, it was said, to complete Ru-
manian Notifications on the noun
tain peaks surrounding the impor-
tant industrial center of Brashov,
just inside Pennsylvania.
The arrival of the guns followed
the receipt OF 200 German planes
on the eve of the receipt of the
Russian ultimatum to Rumania.
The shipment of German planes
at that time gave rise to reports
that Germany was encouraging Ru-
mania to resist Russia.
Rumanian circles emphasized that
Germany contracted to provide Ru-
mania with arms from the Skoda
arms factory in Czechoslovakia in
return for oil and that these con-
tracts are being fulfilled.
