The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Germany (Dodd)
15. On February 4 Department transmitted to German Embassy a note urging that the German Government expedite the presentation to the Mixed Claims Commission of such evidence as the German Government intends to present in regard to the sabotage claims pending before the Commission.
The German Ambassador advises that this note was transmitted to his Government.
Please endeavor promptly to find an opportunity to press for an early disposition of this matter laying particular stress upon the fact that the delay is unduly augmenting the expenses of the Commission; that it cannot be attributed to any lack of attention to these cases on the part of the American Agency; and that it would seem to be equally to the interests of both Governments that the work of the Commission be promptly brought to a close.
Please keep Department informed of developments.
