WHAT
THE BREAK
MEANS

Breaking of diplomatic relations
does not mean war, but it may
lead to war.
Modern diplomatic history of the
world shows no instance where a
diplomatic break has not resulted
in war.
Rights of Germans in U. S. and
Americans in Germany are unaf-
fected by break.
No treaties are terminated or
suspended unless either nation de-
cides to terminate them, which
under international law calls for
a years notice.
German and American consuIs
continue to perform their respect
i've duties, but not under supervi-
sion of diplomatic officers.
There is no change in CONNER
ciaI relations.
Only under certain circumstan-
ces may sequestration or confisca-
ton of property either in U. s. or
Germany be affected.
German ships in American ports,
e5, may be taken, but German
owners must be compensated uIti-
mateIy.
Mails will continue to move un-
der the Geneva convention.
