Wy dear Wr. President:

I have juet received the foll owing message from w e

Ambaesador,Dodd at Berlin: 1 .. , ~

1 0harlee R. Orane celled on me thie morning ana was moe\ ineistent that I send a .eeeage from him to the President through the State Department at hie expense. You will of course, understand that mf compliance wltb this request on aooount of Wr. Orane 1 s personal position in no wise i mplies any indorsement of tbe contents of hie message . •

Wr. crane 1 s message follows:

"The German people are working hard and effectively developi ng many fresh purely democrat­ic i deas i mpor tant to us. Their minds and hearte are set on these constructive tasks and already the results are most inspiring. They realize that it will take years of peeoe, d.iscipline and saorifioe to matur e their plana so they are the ones moet sincerely concerned in a workable disarmament policy. With the nati ons around them ten times as heavily armed it 18 , of course, ebeurd to pretend that Ger many is menacing them.

"Ever sines t he armistice rrance baa bean in the bands of a worthless lot of politicians who han made their living building up ghost etories about Oeru,any and doi ~ everything con­ceivable to provoke her. Tbe r esult baa been
