 Herr Hans Thomsen, Charge d'AffaireS, Ad Interim of Germany.
 "Sir:
 Tt has come to the knowledge of this government that agencies of the German reich in this country, including German consular estab- 'liShments, have been engaged In activities wholly outside the scope Of their legitimate duties, these activ- ities have been of an improper and unwarranted character. They render the continued presence in the United States of those agencies and consular establishments inimical to the welfare of this country.
 All to Be Removed
 q am directed by the President to request that the German govern ment remove from United States territory all German nationals in anywise connected with the German library of information in New York, the German railway and tourists agencies, and the rranSocean News Service and that each of these or ganizations and their atfiliates shall be promptly closed.
 T am also directed to request that all German consular officers, agents, clerks, and employees there of Ger man nationality shall be removed from American territory and that the consular establishments likewise be promptly closed.
 "It is contemplated that all such withdrawals and closures shall be effected before July 10.
 Accept, sir, the renewed assur- ance of my high consideration. SUMNER WELLES." No Break Yet The order does not break rela- tions between Berlin and Washing ton because the German embassy here was not affected. It is effective not later than July 10.
 The expulsion and closure order affected 24 consular offices, includ- ing the ones headed by Fritz Weide- mann, German Consul General in San Francisco, ad Baro Edgar vc Spiegel, consul at New Orleans. Both have been accused of propaganda activities.
