4012. It is difficult without concrete cases effectively to present your 3068, March 20, because each case may essentially differ from others and I do not know the “trifling excuses” which you mention. The Foreign Office has shown itself reluctant to take up cases here since this whole business was transferred to Washington. I respectfully suggest that protest be made to Ambassador in Washington citing specific cases or that more definite instructions with such citations be sent to me.
