The Ambassador in Germany (Schurman) to the Secretary of State
[Received March 10—9:05 a.m.]
43. Department’s 20, March 3, 5 p.m. This matter has been informally discussed at the German Foreign Office, and as a result the German Minister in Persia has been telegraphically instructed to cooperate fully with his American colleague.
Although the German Government is in accord fundamentally with the British memorandum and is convinced that harmonious action is needed among the western powers, this Embassy today is informed that there exist some difficulties which the German Foreign Office wishes next week informally to discuss with the Embassy.
