Abstract
Description
Replies to telegram from State Department which asked for basis of claims of German treaty violation in the matter of American owned companies in Germany and advised to proceed cautiously; cites Articles I and XIII of treaty as basis of claim; consulted and had full approval of Embassy before taking action; did not make formal representation to Foreign Office, but talked informally to Minister of Commerce and Minister of Propaganda, both of whom agreed there had been treaty violations and promised that the discriminatory action against American owned companies should be stopped; they have kept promise.
