Welles receive him coldly and without comment; Ickes' remarks concerned principally certain Americans who received decorations from foreign governments; Thomsen might be reminded that U.S. has law prohibiting the practice, and that Ickes' statements about Germany and Germans were not as bad as the attacks on President and Mrs. Roosevelt and on other U.S. officials which have appeared in German newspapers, all government sponsored or controlled.
