The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Germany ( Wilson )
106. Your 331, June 28, 2 p.m. We approve the steps taken to obtain further clarification of the points mentioned.
You are instructed to deliver a third-person note to the Foreign Office phrased in part as suggested by you but incorporating the following changes.
Since Article 7 of the decree of April 26 refers exclusively to the use of property reported under the decree it would seem that the words “Section 7 of” should be omitted thus leaving the reference to the entire decree.
Change the beginning of the second sentence in paragraph 2 of draft to read “Since, therefore, there will still remain discrimination against American citizens, the Embassy is instructed, et cetera.”
Please cable when note is delivered and forward copy by mail.
