76. My 75, April 14, 10 a.m. Hitler in interview today declared to American journalists that disbanding of his military organizations by government was in response to pressure exerted by Tardieu. Foreign Office has privately but earnestly requested that Department be notified that this allegation lacks any vestige of truth.
