2504. Your 3281, November 25. Department understands that consignments of tobacco in all forms to neutral consignees in neutral countries, will be passed without question of ultimate destination, so that American exporters may sell tobacco to German consumers through intermediary of persons in Holland. Is this correct? Is tobacco extract included? Assurances on these points urgently required.
