VZ327
With reference to the memorandum—711.622/101—of December 26, 1928, the German Embassy has the honor respectfully to advise the Department of State, pursuant to instructions received, that the German Government still adheres to the opinion expressed in the note of July 24, 1874, from Herr von Buelow to Mr. Bancroft, which has been cited, as no authority can be inferred, even from the Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Consular Eights of December 8, 1923, for consular officers of the United States to take testimony under oath from German nationals in Germany.
The German Embassy has the honor to express its most sincere thanks to the Department for its kindness in furnishing information in this matter.
