NOT RETURNING TO BERLIN
American Ambassador (Received March 19, 7.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, March 18. A high official of the Stale Department told a correspondent of t lie British United Press that, though the Administration had been considering returning the American Ambassador, Mr. Wilson, to Berlin as the result of Germany’s recent acceptance of the international refugee plan, in view of Herr Hitler’s invasion of Czechoslovakia, President Roosevelt had decided to keep Mr. Wilson in the United States indefinitely.
Germany’s termination of diplomatic relations with the United States is not considered altogether unlikely as the result of Mr. Welles’s statement. This official expression of sentiment unquestionably reflects American opinion, but cannot be said to have clarified the public viewpoint concerning the course of action in which the United States can participate and which will materially aid the democracies and halt Herr Hitler’s progress. Congressional opinion is hardly unified concerning -the neutrality modifications which would implement President Roosevelt’s desire to aid the aggressed against the aggressors.
