The Consul General at Casablanca (Goold) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 21—8:10 a.m.]
207. Your 118, November 6, noon. All movements of vessels from Casablanca are reported by the Admiralty to the German delegate who represents the Wiesbaden Commission here. This was stated to me today by the Chief of Staff who evaded a reply to my question whether Herr Klaube had ever interfered with any departure.
The German delegate lives and works at a hotel, seldom if ever visits the port, and is unknown to the Director of Customs or the agent of the French Line. Herr Klaube told Mayer93 the other day that he had little to do and hoped to move south in the near future. He has given up the project of taking a house. He stated that he might be an advance agent for German consular representatives here. He himself had formerly been Consul and Lufthansa representative at Bathurst.
Repeated to Tangier and Vichy.
