The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. Repeated representations have been made to the Rumanian Government with a view to an arrangement being made between the Rumanian Government and the companies concerned in accordance with the terms of Article 320 of the Treaty of St. Germain, but hitherto without result. This question is being discussed by the Austro-Rumanian Commission now sitting at Vienna, and until the Commission has concluded its labours, it is not possible to return a definite reply to the second part of the question.
