Secretary of State Hull handed the German charge d'affaires a note last night which said: “The (German government is no doubt aware that its policies have created opposition in many parts of the world which has expressed itself in various trade conflicts and the probable reduction of Ger many’s capacity to transfer.” 1t wasg the first American move in a diplomatic campaign to modi fy drastic provisions in the mora torium whereby Germany suspend ed interest payments on .external debts. Hull did not mention anti-JTew ish measures which have brought hoycotts on German goods, but ob gervers agreed his note was broad enough to include such policies. The United States recognizes that Germany's ability to pay has been limited by a shortage of for eign exchange, FHull said, but he hinted that if certain policies were modified trade might increase, al lowing Germany to pay.
