The Chargé in Germany ( Gilbert ) to the Secretary of State
[Received February 18.]
Sir: Supplementing the Embassy’s despatch No. 127 of May 3, 1938,31 relative to the attitude of the Reich toward the publication of German documents less than fifteen years old in the United States Foreign Relations series, I have the honor to transmit herewith a copy in translation of a self-explanatory note31 received from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs on the subject.
It will be observed that the German Government agrees in principle to the publication of such documents, on the condition that they be submitted to the Foreign Office here or the German Embassy at Washington for examination prior to publication.
Respectfully yours,
