384. I handed our note of protest to Krestinski this afternoon at 4 o’clock without comment, except the statement that we should make it public at once. Krestinski replied: “If your note is a protest with regard to the Congress of the Communist International I can tell you before reading it that it will be rejected.” He added “I will, however, read it.”
