Dr. Goebbels saud that he hoped it would some time
become possible for responsible American Government
officials to show at least their dissapproval of the 
publication of lies.  He pointed out that a question 
had been asked in the House of Commons at London
about a report of 30,000 Germans landing to helpm Franco
and the Prime Minister had replied that their reports 
were to the effect that there was not a word of truth
in these rumors.  Dr. Goebbels said that the German 
officials felt profoundly grateful for this statement
of Chamberlain's, as it was a real indication that he 
was trying to better relations between the two countries.
 
 In conclusion Dr. Goebbels reiterated hos statement 
about talking over with me in advance and radical
action respecting our press representatives and begged 
me to come to him freely when I wanted to talk over 
any matter.  In return I told him that I hoped these 
relations could be bettered, that unless I cherished
this hope I would not have come here, but that I
feared that we had a difficult road in front of us and
one which would take long and patient labor, if it 
could be achieved at all.
