L. H. Hoile, secretary to Ambassador to Germany Charlemagne Tower, corrects the wording of a paragraph in a letter he recently sent to President Roosevelt. The original paragraph stated that the German Ambassador in Tokyo Heinrich Mumms and the Chancellor Bülow did not believe that Japan would attack the United States, and the wording implied that Germany did not feel any friendship to the United States. The wording should have clarified that it is Japan that harbors no friendly feelings to the United States.
