The Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 7.]
Sir: Referring to recent correspondence regarding the German compensation mark matter, and especially to my telegram No. 118, September 10, I have the honor to report that the Brazilian Minister for Foreign Affairs informed me some time ago that the revised edition of the note, embodying the suggestions I made to him, had been duly transmitted to the German Chargé d’Affaires. However, [Page 345] he knows that the German authorities object to making the desired promises in regard to subsidies.
The German Embassy, of course, is in communication with Berlin on the matter; but it is the Minister’s opinion that the Chargé d’Affaires will endeavor to postpone a final decision until the new German Ambassador arrives. Sr. Pimentel Brandão has assured me that it is not his intention to allow the matter to drift indefinitely.
Respectfully yours,
