The Secretary of State to the Chargé in France ( Marriner )
64. For Norman Davis. Your 72, April 4, 3 a.m. from London. I think it highly important for you to visit Berlin at the end of this week as you planned. There will however undoubtedly be a good deal of speculation in the press concerning your visit owing to the tension in this country over the attitude of the German Government toward the Jews. I hope therefore that you will make it very clear to the press that you are going to Berlin at the present time because von Neurath will be away after Saturday and that you will discuss only disarmament and the economic conference dates. As soon as you have completed your arrangements to leave Paris Friday night please telegraph at once in order that we may inform the press here18 of your visit stressing the same two points.
