Memorandum by the Assistant Secretary of State (Castle) of a Conversation With the German Ambassador (Von Prittwitz)
The German Ambassador called this morning to leave the attached memorandum29 concerning Senate Bills with regard to shipping. I told the Ambassador that I thought there was comparatively little chance that either of these bills would go through at the present session of Congress, but, of course, there was always a danger. I told him that this Department was opposed to the bills in their present form and that we had already signified to the appropriate people in Congress our disapprobation. He said he realized we had done this, but that he felt he would be derelict, the situation being as it is, not to bring the matter once more to our attention.
