The Acting Secretary of State to the Chargé in Switzerland (Huddle)
582. American interests—Germany. Department’s 573, February 28, 6 p.m.;34 your 816, February 28, 4 p.m. Please stress urgent necessity of investigation of conditions at Bad Nauheim and insistence of this Government that these conditions be remedied immediately. German representatives at White Sulphur Springs are receiving only such treatment as is felt by this Government to be consonant with normal standards of decency but the message contained in your 816 makes it clear that the treatment being accorded American personnel in Germany at least up to February 14 was far inferior thereto, that the attention of the German Government had been directed to the matter and that no remedial steps worth mentioning had been taken. Department assumes situation has been improved in 2 weeks since Morris wrote his distressing message and pending early report of Swiss representative will not take any measures to adjust situation.
