would be no change In the policy of
the t'nllcd States.
German Ambassador Hernstorff has
wirelessed his government that lie be
furnished immediately with all avail-
able information on the Marina sink-
ing. The instructions sent to the em-
bassy at Berlin were said to have
isked for an investigation by Ger-
many and not for an explanation. It

von Hernstorff does not believe these
pledges have been violated.
