In the let ter to him, von Papen is understood to have explained that the bearer, trustworthy person in the confidence of the writer and as such was com mended to the good offices of the re- cipient. Officials here expressed the helief tonight that this letter estab- lished beyond question the fact that von Der GoltZ's activities in trying to bring about an invasion of Canada and in planning the destruction of the Welland canal were endorsed by D.,, al
 Photographic copies Of this letter and others from von Papen of a na- ture not disclosed have been submit ted to the state department With them went a note detailing the essen tials of von Der GoltZ' recent state ment to department of justice off cia!s. This has been added to long confidential memoranda given to the state department before the with drawal of von Papen was requested by the American government.
 Captain von Papen's alleged letters commenting von Der GoltZ are con- tained in the batch of correspondence taken from von Der Goitz in England and will soon be made public by the British foreign office in London. Por- tions of the correspondence. lnclud- ing vOn Papens letters were photo- eraphed and brought to the United States by the Scotland Yard detec- tives in whose custody von Der Goltz crossed the ocean.
 There is nothing. officials say. in the letters or in von Der Goltz' state ment in New York to indicate upon whose instructions, if any. von Papen was acting when he endorsed von Der Goltz' plans and supplied him with money to carry them out.
