Embargo Against Countries
Permitting German Activi-
ties Suggested

Washington, July l3.-Continued and
unrestricted activities of German
agents in certain South American coun-
tries have resulted in a suggestion that
tho United States t5ke advantage of the
recently enacted law controlling ex-
ports TO retaliate against nations per-
hitting such activities.
An American consular officer in at
least one country has reported the ex-
ittence Of an anti-American campaign
by Germans, official and unofficial. The
work is being done by German consular
officers and by German mercantile
firms. In some cases these activities
arc supplemented by neutral firms with
G,rman connections The apparent OBJ
iect Of the campaign is 10 discredt the
United States and 20 minimize Ameri-
can participation in the war.
Leaflets and newspapers containing
vicious attacks on the United States
tivo been widely circulated in one
country by German consuls. American
consular officers and diplomatic repre-
seutatiyes have been instructed TO make
careful investigation, and whenever
possible to inform the State Depart
ment Of the identity Of those respon-
sible for the direct attacks and indirect
propaganda.
