705. While Blum and Madame Blum were dining along with me last night he was called to the telephone and given the news with regard to the bombing of the German battleship Deutschland. He was much disturbed and continued to be so. In fact he telephoned me after returning to his home about midnight and told me that he intended to get in touch with London at once by telephone. He feared that the incident might produce most serious results.
