 "It is natural that it's publication caused a great sensation in America" !" Count von Bernstorff said, declaring:
 "We always strictly declined to mix ourselves in the politics of the Ameri- can continent. All assertions about such intrigues in Hayti, Cuba and Colombia are fairy tales," Count von Bernstorff is quoted as saying, adding that so long as he was ambassador in Washington he was never aware of the slightest indication that the Ger man government tried to influence a policy in South and Central American states in any sense hostile to the United States.
