File No. 763.72/2904
The Chargé in Germany ( Grew ) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 6, 2.10 p. m.]
4433. Referring to my 4417, October 2, 5 p. m. The general impression here is still that the Chancellor will, for the present, be able to hold his own against the attacks of his political adversaries arising out of the submarine issue as he is still actively supported by the Emperor. There is, however, no feeling of permanent security in the situation which would be complicated by further German reverses on the west front. The submarine issue may be discussed in the next plenary sitting of the Reichstag on October 11.
