9a he also did so at the time, so that I assume that Dr. Timm's letter to the group leader of the 8th octo-ber of the year was based on Mr. Fischer's message. I do not believe, however, that Mr. Fisher might have told Dr. Tamm the true reasons, namely the caricature distribution, because he certainly did not want to throw Dr.timm in front of his head. On the occasion of my official stay in Berlin at the lo. and ll. I also discussed the recent letter of Dr. Timm of 8 October with Fischer and the personal speaker of the Reich press chief, Mr. Stephan. Mr. Fischer also advised in this case not to use Interpress to spread the speech of the group leader. Mr Staphan has not expressed any objections, but also expressed the view that the Agency is "not representative" to disseminate this speech. In addition, the press department of the Reich government has considered that the full text of the group leader's speech should not have a lasting effect almost four weeks after the date on which it was given, especially since this speech is published in a broad format in the entire German daily press of 19 and 20 October. - DELg aulomkts Hhfmoolmo A S MTCO plant!
