While Berlin waited for Molotov to appear (and Moscow denied he was going), Germany's Dr. Karl Clodius was in Bucharest pressing Rumania for more oil-and reinforcing his arguments with showings of hair-raising motion pictures of the German conquest of Poland. In the face of this pressure and of the danger that his country might be partitioned among Russia, Germany and Hungary if he refused to play ball, King Carol showed guts. He expelled a British Reuters correspondent who filed a story that Germany had delivered an ultimatum to Rumania, announced that a Rumanian trade delegation would...

S. capital, own 80% of Rumania's oil production) pacified while this is going on. Sir Reginald Hoare, British Minister at Bucharest, applied Allied pressure, warning Professor Netta et al. with grim politeness that Germany's quota of Rumanian oil must on no account be increased, least of all out of wells developed by Allied money. Professor Netta et al. replied that Germany's quota would not be increased...
