Retiring U.S. Ambassador Bitter Against Nazis
(Received 10 a.m.) NEW YORK, January 6. A representative of the United Press interviewed the retiring American Ambassador to Germany, Mr W. E. Dodd, who bitterly condemned the Hitler regime for its religious persecutions and race-hatred. Mr Dodd said he had resigned in despair, because he could not accomplish good in the face of the Nazi policy. He explained his refusal to attend the Nuremburg Conference by asking: “Was it the duty of representatives of democratic countries to attend conferences at which Democracy was ridiculed and attacked? I do not think so.” Mr Dodd issued a warning that another great war was threatened because of the frenzied armament race.
