Will you please open your document book on Page 116, where there is a record of the conference between Antonescu and von Doernberg of 10th February, 1942: "Von Doernberg introduced the subject of the Order of `Charles I' which Ribbentrop was claiming for himself through various German official channels in our country, as well as through the Roumanian officials accredited to the German Government." I pass to the next page, Page 117 of the document book. I quote: ..."I told Herr von Doernberg that I would not be able to grant this award until Herr von Ribbentrop, at the very first opportunity, made a public declaration to Roumania on the problem of Transylvania, a declaration which would bolster up the faith of the Roumanian people in their struggle for the cause of justice and for their legitimate claims in the Europe of the future. I would, therefore, confer him this award on condition that it be made public only after he had made this declaration.
Cito: ..."Le dije a Herr von Dörnberg que no podía conceder este premio hasta que Herr von Ribbentrop hiciera una declaración pública a la primera oportunidad dirigida a Rumanía tratando el problema de Transilvania, una declaración que animaría la fe del pueblo rumano en su lucha por la causa de la justicia y por sus demandas legítimas en la Europa del futuro. Por tanto, le concedería este premio a condición de que se hiciera público sólo después de que hiciera esta declaración.
