AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT a vibrant tribute to Romania:

"The international sections of these organisations maintain close relations with all similar organisations abroad, thus affirming not only Romania's presence in all these sectors of international activity, but also its contribution to the exchange of information and, in general, to the mutual understanding of peoples.
And among these peoples, the people of France, with its ideas, its wisdom, its tradition of justice and freedom - and also its critical spirit - is particularly [dear] to them.
In Bucharest, I was told: "Even the cobblestones of Bucharest speak French. And go and doubt this love of France in front of Anna Pauker, who speaks our language with a pure Parisian accent. However, for the citizens of free Romania, this France is not the France of Jules Moch, just like this liberated Romania, it is not the France that made Anna Pauker spend 12 years of her life in prison, massacring workers.
A free people does not allow itself to be intimidated by foreigners. And the foreigner, the party of the foreigner, for the Romanian people, is our government at the orders of American imperialism, it is the party of war and capitalist oppression. Make no mistake about it, all the men on earth who truly love France are those who dream of her, who want her to be at the forefront of progress. They know that she is at the age of reason and that she can stand tall, head held high, shouting out her faith in the future.
They know, and we know, that to give in to their oppressors would be to forfeit all human ambition. The light has long come from France, for all peoples. And if today it does not dazzle the universe, no honest heart doubts that the fire of our reason is still there: we call it resistance, tomorrow we will call it offensive and victory. "
