Baron Neurath, German Ambassador to Rome, was under fire in the Reichstag during the discussion on the budget of the German Foreign Office.

Georg Bernhardt related that when Emil Ludwig recently visited Rome he was received three times by Benito Mussolini, but the German Ambassador ignored the German writer completely.

Foreign Minister Stresemann in reply expressed his satisfaction with the courtesies extended to Mr. Ludwig during his visit to the United States by German Minister to Washington von Prittwitz, Mr. Ludwig, he stated, is the most popular German writer abroad and an exponent of German intellectual life. The duty of an ambassador is to represent his government, Stresemann stated, giving an indirect rebuke to Baron Neurath.
