[Received July 20, 4.29 a.m.]
3998. Department’s 2265, July 10.1 Same agent has called on Herron who pointed out that Bavarian proposals did not touch Russian and Turkish questions. Agent promised to consult with his superiors and present revised program. He inquired further if high personage in Germany could present personal question to President and obtain reply unknown to other nations. Mr. Herron stated he believed question might be transmitted but could express no opinion as to whether it would be answered.
From Italian press bureau I learn that Herron’s conversations with this man are known about. The agent is described as extremely clever Austro-German agent formerly in Rome.
