AMBASSADOR RESIGNS
U.S. Representative In Berlin DISAGREEMENT WITH NAZI POLITICS (united press association — copyright.) (Received December 8, 10.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, December 8. The American Ambassador to Germany (Mr William E. Dodd) will resign on January 1. Mr Hugh R. Wilson, Ambassador to Switzerland, will succeed him. The Washington correspondent of the “New York Times,” commenting on Mr Dodd’s resignation, says: “It has been apparent for some time that he was uncomfortable in Berlin, partly because of his divergence of view with Nazi politics. Coincidentally there has been a manifest coolness in the relations between the two countries. “Not only has Mr Dodd taken occasion during public addresses to praise democracy, but he strongly opposed the American Embassy representation at the Nuremburg Congress.”
