The Commissioner at Berlin ( Dresel ) to the Secretary of State

662. Department’s 1361, August 11th, 6 p.m. At interview with Rosen I proposed only first, holding second in reserve in case objection made later. Rosen stated that proposal was great improvement for which he was grateful and that while he could not bind the Cabinet it seemed to him satisfactory. I was unable to get assurance from him that treaty would be signed at once, but Cabinet will meet this afternoon and Rosen promised to put my arguments in favor of prompt signature forcibly before them.

Instructions regarding alien property fund and statement contained in the last sentence of number 1361 were also communicated by me to Rosen who made no comment.
