Abstract
Description
Knew Schmidt well during three years spent serving as Minister to Austria; liked and respected him, and regarded him as patriotic Austrian opposed to National Socialism; early in 1937 began to get information from reliable sources that Schmidt had come under influence of German Minister, Franz von Papen, whose known purpose in Austria was to undermine Austrian Government; Schmidt's own activities and changed attitude reinforce this information.
