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

Berlin, November 12, 1938—1 p.m.
[Received November 12—8:45 a.m.]

613. The local press this morning features Goebbels’ interview yesterday with the foreign journalists in which among other things he asserted that the recent anti-Jewish demonstrations were spontaneous. In spite of Goebbels’ official insistence on this point I feel constrained to report that evidence here leads to the contrary conclusion.
