G. of Berlin, I have the honor to report that the Foreign Office has now finally acknowledged the Embassy’s notes of December 3, 1940,34 and January 14, 1941,35 stating [Page 624] that “it has requested the competent German internal authorities to give their consideration to the matter and will inform the Embassy accordingly in due course.”

Respectfully yours,
