Foreign Minister Grigore Gafencu of Rumania, in his conversations with the British Government, received a promise that London would examine proposals for Jewish emigration from Rumania, it was understood today. The assurances were said to be similar to those given to Foreign Minister Josef Beck of Poland.
Polish Ambassador Count Raczynski saw Mr. Gafencu yesterday and the Polish-Rumanian Jewish emigration problem is believed to have been one of the subjects discussed. In diplomatic circles it is believed that there will not be concrete developments on this question for some time.
It is considered most likely that Poland and Rumania will consult between themselves to reach agreement on a policy of Jewish emigration, but that their conversations with the British Government will be conducted separately. The question is described as complex and it is indicated that the conversations are likely to be protracted.
