position ot Oencva in the international scheme is not being neglected by the Nazi propaganda ministry despite Germany’s withdrawal of the League of Nations. The presence here of a large corps of foreign newspaper correspondents and political observers whose words carry weight with people in all parts of the world presents for the Nazis an opportunity tot- pood to be neglected.
The post of Vice-consul has been created in the . German consular here and filled by a former secretary in the German embassy a Washington, a Baron Putlitz, who professes not to be a member of the Nazi party and stresses this allege# fact in every conversation he has with newspapermen.
Pulitz,in a recent conversation with an acquaintance who resides in this city, told with much amusement how he had posed as an American interviewer in a news feel release scheduled for . distribution in the United States. The so-called “interview” took place in the garden of the Carlton Hotel.
Putlitz, once considered a devote*I follower of Strcscmann, befriended and struck up a close friendship with the son of Cot. von Papen, Germany’s vice-chancellor. His rise in the diplomatic service was swift, once von Papen came into power. The baron, a typical Junker, speaks English well, a souvenir of his service in Washington, is a social asset, has foresight enough to make important connections. Once while stationed at Haiti, he employed the brother-in-law of a most important Haitian official for office work, and misses no opportunity to make friends among the journalists’ corps.
