The Ambassador in Germany (Wilson) to the Secretary of State

336. Department’s 106, June 29, 7 p.m. Note delivered this afternoon and copy mailed.

With respect to clarifications of German note which we are trying to obtain the Foreign Office advises that our memorandum has been submitted to the Economic Ministry and that reply will probably not be available before week or 10 days. It was immediately pointed out that today was the last day of registration except for German nationals resident abroad to which response was made that the Foreign Office was “virtually certain” that delay would be granted to persons resident abroad even if not German nationals. This would prolong the time limit to October 31 for persons residing outside of Europe.
