The Department of State to the German Embassy

Memorandum

This is to confirm what was stated to His Excellency the German Ambassador when he called at the Department on June 1, 1937, with respect to the sabotage claims.

The Department of State strongly hopes that the work of the Mixed Claims Commission may be speeded and perhaps brought to a conclusion on the basis of the agreement recently entered into by American claimants who were given awards by the Commission and the so-called sabotage claimants, which the Ambassador has seen, that agreement involving an approval of the Munich settlement. The Department, of course, has in mind what the Ambassador stated relative to the finality of any decision the Commission may render.
