activities of German agents in the
United States. AT that time you very
courteously volunteered that you
would withhold proceeding with any
public hearings until the depart
ment of state had time to digest
the substance of the papers which
you referred to us,
Having carefully considered the
matter, the officials OF the depart
ment decided that as long as the
department of state was neither an
investigating nor prosecuting
agency. that the matters in question
should be referred to the attorney
general for his considerat ton and for
his decision as to what action, If
any, should be taken In connection
with them. That was done and the
papers we're referred to the attor-
ney-general.
Since then l have no formal re-
port from the Department of JUS
tince in the matter. About that
time Mr.. Long talked to you again
and advised you OF our decision about
the papers and you expressed entire
approval of the course which had
been taken and IN his last CONVEX
sation with you, advised you that,
while you had very courteously and
thoughtfully offered to withhold
public hearings during the period
in question, that the time had come
when the Department of State felt
that the matter of public hearings
was entirely one for your own de-
cision.
That is the situation as it has
existed since that time and in re-
spouse to your telegram l can only
express my appreciation for your
cooperation in this matter and for
having made available to me and to
my associates the papers in question
and to reiterate that the matter OF
public hearings before your commit
tee is one which concerns the pol
icy of an agency of the legislative
branch of the government, which,
think, you as the responsible head
Of that agency, must decide In the
exercise of your own discretion and
Judgment"
