the note of the German Ambassador
Won Bernstorff in which the Count
criticized the character of the Ameri-
can neutrality, Bryan tells:
"The language you used may be con-
strued as impugning the good faith
of America in the performance of its
duty as neutral"
In Bryan's reply he says that the
issues between America and England
regarding English interference with
trade is inappropriate for a discus
sion between the United States and
Germany at the present time. Bern
storff is expected to take the rebuke
in good spirit, and if the offense is re-
peated it is believed that he will be
given his passports, and if Americas s
good faith is again questioned with
known German official sanction, a
crisis of the two nations is imminent.
