The Ambassador in Germany (Sackett) to the Secretary of State

Berlin, May 12, 1932—3 p.m.
[Received May 12—10:40 a.m.]

95. Your 50, May 11, 6 p.m. Have seen Ministerial Director Ritter. Based on promising outlook of negotiations in Washington as today reported by German Ambassador, I have reason to believe favorable solution can be expected here. In spite of holidays matter will be submitted to Cabinet for decision after Reichstag adjournment which is expected today, and I hope to report definitely early next week.
