Abstract
Description
Enclosed with No. 301. Reminded Funk that the responsibility for discrimination against American picture firms was that of the Ministry since the Ministry had delegated its authority; further stated that American firms and their photographers were not permitted to become members of the Verein [Association of German Press Photographers]; Funk surprised that matter had not been settled; had been told that it was; Messersmith replied that it would not be settled until Funk or the Minister [Josef Goebbels] spoke to the President of the Verein and made it clear to him that the discriminatory action should stop; Ministry of Propaganda complains of unfavorable news in American press, but makes no effort to provide something which would make favorable impression.
