| Description | Acknowledges letter of Mar. 8 concerning German clerks in U.S. establishments in Germany; working now to supplant German clerks with American citizens, but bearing in mind long and faithful service rendered by some non-American members of staff; realizes even most faithful can be turned into spy by pressures authoritarian regime can exert; so far, believes no such attempt has been made, but taking every measure to see alien clerks do not have access to confidential material; has heard when Dr. [Rufus] Jones returned from Germany he was awarded prize of $5,000 for his service in interceding with Chief of Secret Police on behalf of refugees; Geist arranged interview and conducted negotiations, as Jones spoke no German; was surprised to learn he was so amply rewarded; must be careful with regard to Quakers' activities in Germany; afraid they will make suggestions to Germans which might interfere with success of Intergovernmental Refugee Committee's plans. | en_US |
